As a veteran I really appreciate seeing folks, yourself included, taking a few minutes to visit the memorials, giving/showing respect for veterans. Maybe 20 or so years ago I visited the National D-Day Memorial located near Bradford, Virginia. I was visiting family in the area. Quite the trip we enjoyed today, thankee. Take care and be well.

I agree about the skirts. It’s just another useless piece of equipment that does nothing but cost the trucking industry money. Just because California says it does something and you can’t go there without them. Just like the DEF systems is a useless government mandate that costs trucking a bunch of money and doesn’t do anything but hurt the trucks they’re on.

About the only purpose they serve that I’ve noticed is, they keep water from spraying of the side and blasting cars during heavy rain. Which could be a pretty good safety feature for cars being able to see as they pass you. Some guys say it helps fuel economy but I’ve never noticed a difference myself.

Just watched to mention this next time you want to travel Iron Mountain

Dad was in the second lane over turn signals on make a right turn and people kept going between him and the curb. Finally I had to get out with a six cell Mag light Stand at the back of the trailer and threaten to bash in the guys hood so dad could get around the corner. We won't talk about how much fun it was getting 7 foot tall solid core office doors off with out a dock!

Try talking to a car hauler about fuel mileage. I found the 2 best ways to get fuel mileage was to stay home or lie. I pulled a short haul dedicated run for 1-1/2 years. Same 53 ft trailers some with skirts and some without. The skirts helped 2-5 tenths of MPG. DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT YOUR SKIRT !!

Have you ever seen a truck hauling a blade for a wind turbine? The first time I did, I didn't know what it was - and it was huge! Would you want to haul freight like that? I didn't know they still had the dinosaur gas stations - with a nice green dino at the front!

Not sure if they'd be running in this wind

I’ve seen a couple, they don’t even have trailers, just some wheels bolted to the back of the blade. Looks like it could be 100+ feet!
Hey Kurt and family, glad you made it through those storms safe. Almost home from tacoma/yakima. Out of hours 3 hours from home. Friddle fratten con founded dad burnit *#@!%
It always amazes me with the respect that people show to your armed forces as I'm on the other side of the world and that does not happen here.
HI opie awesome video. 👌
Hi Kurt and Opie
22:00 Opie doesn't like people. I'm glad I'm not people.
I run a gallon of Lucas oil stabilizer in my transmission and both rear ends with the synthetic oil and have for over 1,000,000 miles cut down all the noise in the transmission
G'day Kurt we have sign's on our trailers over here in Australia Do not over take turning vehicle but they still try an do it then they scream an Carry On they got hit
Try talking to a car hauler about fuel mileage. I found the 2 best ways to get fuel mileage was to stay home or lie. I pulled a short haul dedicated run for 1-1/2 years. Same 53 ft trailers some with skirts and some without. The skirts helped 2-5 tenths of MPG. DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT YOUR SKIRT !!
@3:15 Hey Schmidt, we're all built different, with different life experiences. Has nothing to do with age. Screw those old timers that say "oh, your much to young to have those problems". Especially if they've been telling others to do all the hard work for them.
Hello, Opie 🎉😅
That hip pain needs some exercise, you need to go to the senior center and inquire as to when the hula lesson are being offered, and then sign up and the key is to attend!! LOL, stay safe! Uhh, I think you presumed a little much, they called out OPIE, not Kurt, I think they are Opies fans!
You can pull up close enough for it to open automatically
Install the ball joints with grease zerks
can call First Class no more .paint the hood or decal it just a though, Im a loyal viewer Be safe. mountain man
Good evening
If you can't see my mirrors I can't see you...
I’m really enjoying your videos! Question… when you talk to folks on your CB, how do you know what channel to use??
When you drive a semi in the windy conditions it makes trucking actually a job lol.
I think as in England, hgvs have to bars stop bikes from going under etc😊
If the fridge is a Norcold, which used to be made here in Sidney, Ohio, I could understand. They closed and are moving, out of the USA. If you can get products in exchange for doing a review, how about a Macco paint job for First Class?
When it's too windy, an oversize load usualy has to park it. They won't let us cross the scale when it's windy.
Yes Kurt even those in their mid fifties know what you're saying🙂
Hi Ope!!!
Oh yea, and in front of my pickup about windshield high moving it onto my lap.
If it’s not too late, I think a 6.4 starter will fit and spin the motor faster.
uberdad- let's get on it !
Hey Kurt and Opie. Kurt what's the towel on your shifter for? Just curious.
Kurt buckle up that seat belt. Stay safe.
In back of a truck..Smile as you go under.
What’s with the blue rag on the shifter knob in the recent videos Curt? Those shell casing ends hurting your hand or something?
Why do you have a blue terry cloth over the top of your gear shift?
Why do you have a rag on your gear shift? IDK if you had said or not I missed it
$5-10.00 per mile make the Oversize Loads much more palatable 😂
Which color micro fiber do you endorse as a shifter accessory, blue or green? 😉
