Kurt, you really had me with this video! You re my idol when it comes to calmness and beeing polite to other people! 😅 smile, nod and say have a nice say! I wish you, as always, a great and safe ride! See you soon! Thomas
Hi Kurt & Opie. Another great vlog. Some drivers just don't need 2 b drivers. Nod, wave, have a nice day indeed. 😉👍
There's going to be those days..you handle it well Kurt! Great video!👍👍💪
One thing I really like about older trucks are toggle switches that you can put extenders on. Rocker switches just don't cut it.
Smile, nod, and say have a nice day. You're a better man than I today. I couldn't/wouldn't have been as nice as you were.
Nothing sounds as good as a big old caterpillar engine
OHHHH DAD THE LEASH 😂😂❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
Amazing as always. God bless you
Brilliant video my friend safe trucking 🚚
Thanks for your videos Kurt; we love all of them!
I knew that was going to be a slow load after seeing where their xxx xxxx employees park. Be glad there wasn’t snow piled everywhere.
You gotta love drivers that will watch you have a tough time backing in especially next to them without at least offering help or in this case telling you he's leaving. Been there. Anyway Happy Thanksgiving Canada. Truck it safe Kurt 😎

It’s a liability issue these days
It amazes me how often I watch trucker vids and the Dockers park their vehicles in front of the doors - it always looks like there is space out of the way to park. Good job Kurt, even in my younger days I could not do what you guys do daily. Thank you for keeping it moving for us.
Your the man buddy.Im screamin an swearen an im not even there
Beautiful country Kurt thanks for taking us up to that part of the country 👍
GOOD MONDAY MORNING TO YA KURT & OPIE BEAUTIFUL VIDEO CANADA IS GORGEOUS WOW ! YOUR A TRUE BLESSING TO SO MANY YOUR CALM & COOL ! GOD BLESS STAY SAFE OUT THERE ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
Great video Kurt, I’m a retired Canadian driver and it’s nice to see some of our fellow drivers having a chat with you and Opie.
Ya. Mister Truck Driver. I hope he got a good laugh.Watchung you back in.I drove for 35 years with extended hood.Pete.No respect now adays. Been retired 11 yrs. I dont think i could handle it nowadays.lol
I think you're an awesome person and driver Kurt! I used to haul Sulfuric acid in pneumatic trailers down to places in Washington, Idaho and Portland. I think it had something to do with gun powder and I'm happy to report that I had no troubles with the people down there at all. Sadly in this world we all share, there are a few people like that "Most" driver, he's unhooked and his truck is running and he seems happy just to watch you struggle and drives away before you can get parked and go have a chat with him. So, an a-hole and a coward. Oh and good job there driver! Cheers from Canada.
Love to see the leaves are changing in the Northern reaches. Be safe and enjoy the cooler weather
Don't matter where you go state or country there is always one driver who just don't GET it just Smile and carry on UK got it's share of them every day uk trucker Dean
Opie gave you a funny look while you were eating that bagel.

Getting close to my neighborhood. Kind of cool to see you in Wisconsin. It would really be cool to see you in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with First Class.
That's why here in Europe everything is cabovers.
Love Wisconsin.
You meet a subscriber and remembered his name.
Hi
Wisconsin loves you, don't be afraid to come back
I've been to Mayville, Wisconsin. I worked for a company that was a dealer for scissor lifts made there by the Mayville Engineering Company. It was a fine company with an amazing product.
I was hoping you'd release a video today. Simply to state that in finally done with school my road test was this morning at 9am. I'm now a licensed class A driver. Thank you for the videos they have helped me get through the waiting. Much love to you and your entire family. 🙏

@@davidschmidt5557 Thank you very much, good sir.
I made many trips into Canada, and I loved it. People were super nice, including the guys at the scale where I was inspected once. They actually invited me in for coffee. I never had any qualms about crossing the border. Canadian Customs was a piece of cake. US Customs, not so much. But that's a whole different story unto itself. Stay safe. My best to you, your family and those crazy critters.
Canadians are one of the nicest people I have met, very polite. Poor star ⭐️ puppy needs grass. The crazy parking lot where you park where you want to, wow 😮 Could tell how livid you was at the semi driver being a horses butt, don’t blame you for being disturbed 😤😠 thank you for all that you do, proud that you are remembering the merch at the end 😁👍🦮⭐️🐿

Yes what you said about needing 40 acres to turn a w900 sorry I know currently in a w900 keep on trucking Little advice for 4 wheelers Make a trucker happy give them some space 👌😁👍👌
If you take the ic off the name on the back of the trailer the other side of the fence you're looking at is the guy in the other trucks name
That was a truly rude truck driver in Mayville, Wisconsin. Some people don’t give a rip. You handled it very well. Good luck.😊
Keep up the good work love your videos thank you
Hey, Mr. Schmidt Sir, I'm a fellow Canadian who is a transplant here in the Good ole U.S.A. Love how Opie walks on the leash. Love it when you take the back roads (scenic route)
Im about 20 miles north of Milwaukee...Mayville is about 12 miles north from my house ....hope you have a great trucking time in Wisconsin!😉
Take good care of yourselves won't you Kurt and Opie tomorrow is another day buddy
Pretty soon you"ll be like the rest of us hosers kurt, wearing plaid eating back bacon drinking maple syrup like it was coffee and yes.....saying eh!
KW looking very nice!!
Love it beautiful Oshkosh and the lake
That guy probably couldn’t move because of his ELD!
Thanks for another great video
That part of Old Fashion Foods is definitely hard to move around in. Mayville is on the east side of the Horicon Marsh which is a state and federally owned marsh. Awesome place to walk
Nice scenery thank you for sharing
Nice to see you in Wisconsin!!
Ty nice vide👍👍
Love your Chanel. Keep it up my friend
You have a safe trip Kurt
As always be careful out there
Look like you’re having a good time up in Wisconsin
You are up there Homer. Almost to Green Bay.
Another interesting video. 🤔 Stay safe my friend. God bless you. 🙏
Thanks for using the leash
Viewer from Toronto!!
I stood on the side of a cabover and barely backed it up to the door under a building in Atlanta great job and video stay safe God bless from GA
Mayville, Wi. 😁 That's only about 10 miles from where my mom lived (Beaver Dam) before she passed. The Horicon Marsh is a real wonder.
By the way enjoy ur videos. I'm an Iowa born guy living in Maryland. Still have family there around Tama, Fairfield, and Iowa City. Like seening ur videos showing the homeland. Safe travels!!
Power mirrors would be nice in a situation like that. My husband's Kw had them and he loved them.
Chicago #1 viewed city !!
Kurt nice backing,I remember way back certain times I was backing in the tighter or more difficult doors at times were easy also had trouble getting it straight on straight shots go figure,lol,well see you next time my friend.

I have sat out on an oil location for 24 hours. The big difference was, We got paid for all that time. The oil companies didn’t seem t mind and I loved it even if it was boring. Wasn’t burning fuel and no wear and tear on the rig. I would have been very frustrated with your situation. Your a better man than I. You and Opie havagudun and as always stay safe.
The last time I jackknifed that hard I messed up my trailer light connection and was doing some rewiring at a rest area. And a similar deal as you described wirh another truck at a dock. Tight area, I struggled to get in there next to him, etc. As soon as I was docked and locked he pulled out.
Coralville represent!
that was my job at gordon food service washing out trailers
At least the weather was nice and you had descent scenery. Some of those places date back to a much smaller age of trucks. At least you know how to drive. There have been a few to end up in the river. Safe travels and God bless.

You're surrounded by Hosers! 😂 Turk Enterprises is a nice little company from St.Andrews Manitoba.... Very good company to deal with and they seem to hire incredibly professional operators 👌🏻Always happy to hear my fellow Canuckleheads are good folk... But they're also meeting good folk in you Kurt!

Some drivers like to be humps on purpose, even in big trucks. I drove a W900 day cab pulling an end dump. Had to open the door on occasion when backing in tight places. But it sure rode good with the long wheelbase.
First I remember you doing a wash out. Am a viewer from Waco Tx. We have a Mars candy here.
With regards to your travels, I google earth where you are at. The maps etc, show me exactly the highways and byways you travel. I'm sure I'm not the only one to do this..lol. so, don't ever think us youtubers are lost!
You should have sprayed off shiny hiney doors and wheels and tires of trailer ….who was gonna stop ya 😆😆😆….actually the whole dang truck !!!
Looks like your at Hillshire in New London
if at 1st you dont succeed try again that worked for me kurt
LOL I live in Chicago
I live 15 miles from Tyson food in New London.
So far, Wisconsin kind looks like Iowa. 😄 Did you see any differences up close?
I bet they'd change the company employee parking policy if one of those nice vehicles ever gets hit. :)

It's hard to be civil some times , but I think he was just testing you Kurt I know if it had of been you or myself waiting to get out and seen you lining up to back in , you'd have got out of your truck walked over to you & said some thing like if you hang on a bit I will move out it will make it easy for ,but that don't happen very often in to-days world "aye" stay safe man "RB" downunder
I love the videos. I noticed the Poopy's shirt you were wearing. Miniature Full Throttle Saloon. Great place to visit. Will be there again in July 2023.
Maybe a APU just might be in first classes future. Just a thought driver..You have a awesome rig she ain’t plastic smogged junk
