I could not be a trucker driving in the rotten weather that you do. You truckers amaze me. Thanks for all you do and stay safe,partner.

The Fearless Men & Women of Trucking...i Just wanted to Say Thank You.

That guy that passed you at 16:08/30:52 about made my heinie draw up !

I lived in Northern IL for 12 years. I moved back to SC in 2013. I can say I honestly don't miss the snow. Glad you made it safe.

I’ve always said that, driving in snow isn’t that difficult it’s the drivers around you that are the problem

But I've never pulled anyone out of a snow bank that didn't think they knew how to drive in the snow!

Glad to hear you and the German are safe .I heard on the news this morning that there was a big tie up on I-80 in ILL .this morning I had it figured you were past where it was .Glad you boys are safe and taking a couple of days off .Stay safe. Old gear jammer 👍

Oh my gosh I could hardly watch this video! My stomach is in knots right now. All that driving in the snow and those roads. I was on the edge of my chair peeking between my fingers. Lol. I would say” please be safe” but you already know that. I didn’t see Opie snow boots. Happy travels. Give Opie my best.

Still working on those

The weather this winter has been very strange and not in a good way. LED lights do make some heat so they should stay pretty clear. Glad you made it through the worst of it and ended with a nice sunset. Enjoy some time home with the family. Stay safe and God bless.

I was shocked. I figured they were going to be full when I stopped.

THANK YOU for the camera setups. Safe 🌨️ travels 🚛💨💨💨

I’m a retired truck driver and have ran that very same route hauling groceries from Indianapolis to HyVee distribution in Cherokee, Ia. Always enjoyed that run. It’s a low stress run if you’re not fighting weather. Always did drop and hook in Cherokee. The people there at HyVee in Cherokee are great. I’ve also Parked there over night and they don’t mind. I’ve also hauled a lot of loads out of Sioux City, Iowa. Ran reefers hauling Tyson meat out of Dakota City, Ne.. I was based out of LeMars, Iowa and hauled lots of ice cream out of Blue Bunny in LeMars. Enjoy your channel.

Hi there Kurt & Opie. That was a fun vlog. Don't like the weather. Wait a 100 miles or less. 😉😆 You made it look easy. Beautiful sunset. I sure do miss Blimpies. We do not have any left here. The closes sandwich place 2 it is Subway. Have a blessed night & week ahead. Give my best 2 the whole family & doggies. God's Blessings today & always. 💕🙏🏼😉👍🏼

This is a compliment…each night there is a new trucking video with you and Opie, my cat crawls into bed and watches your video almost from start to finish. She loves it….

I wonder if the deep growl of the truck engine attracted her? Now she is hooked and also enjoys the views from the truck and her friend Opie! So cute!

Believe me I get it about that 35 mph in Ice and snow. 42 years OTR here. Retired last year. Stacked up a truck in Minnesota in October 93 in that blizzard. First accident after13 years. It teaches you a shit load of respect for ice and wind.

Schmidt has one hell of a life. The open road with a cool-ass dog. Who wouldn't envy this guy.

Hi Kurt you are most definitely a truck driver not a KZreadr. In fact I think between yourself and trucking together you are great opperater . Hope all goes well for you and family take care cos we care stay safe. 🇦🇺⛽😎⛟🐶

Dogs love a snow fight! 😁 Be safe, prepare to hunker down, big storms of the other kind on the horizons.

My German Shepherd Dog cross liked to "help" me shovel snow. It was her job to catch every shovelful I threw.

I like how you always drop your landing gear before pulling your pin. Apparently you've learned your lesson. P.S. i like your dog

Kurt is a mad man when the weather is going to be crazy. Looks like you're going right along. But as all truckers are on it. Know what your truck can do and drive the truck.

Enjoyed the trip though the snow. Glad you made it home safely. Opie looked tired, but very relaxed in his chair!!! That tanker truck really was rolling when he went past you!!!

You can hear that turbo in that KW 🔨⬇️🏆🗜🔥🎯📸👍🏿🦍💪🏿🏋🏿🎬💰👀🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊💯illion

Put some of your deicing washer fluid in a spray bottle and spray your headlights whenever you stop... I'll bet that along with the heat they generate will keep them clear... Glad you're safe... Drive safe... looks like this week is going to be bad for you all too...

Wat a mess ty for vidio Opie needs a cheeseburger

Ready for spring yet 🌻? I know I am. So glad to see that you and Opie made it home safely! Enjoy some time with the family. Give Jax and Opie lots of pets! 🐕❤😃

Kurt, I can't always watch your videos when they first come out but they're always waiting for me when I get home after a long day at work and I thoroughly enjoy them. Thanks again.

Awesome weather! Thanks for showing it.

Luv the cb talk! Good job!

Glad you had a safe trip. You enjoy your days off with the family. Stay safe!

Glad you made it through safely.

Stay safe out there, thanks for letting us know the road conditions.

When saw the posting knew you weren't among the ones laying on their sides and was glad. Thank you for gorgeous IL storm footage,made me smile the whole way for the beauty as I knew you were ok. In Danville went from rain to sleet real fast and got 1 in of that then about 2 in of snow where they had predicted 6 in. Glad you have your weather/nav/dad, when son drove I did that function and feel sorry for young drivers who don't have that support.Have a great rest

Amazing as always thanks. God bless you

Glad you made it safe and sound, I live at south of you on I 55 got some pictures of wrecks head north the next morning

Oh those Midwestern snowstorms. They are sure the ones to bring the windchill down. Now, I'm still waiting to see Opie's jacket and boots. Glad you're safe and sound.

Thank the lord you stayed in one piece. Spring hopefully is around the bend some where!!!!! STAY SAFE STAY WELL FRANKIE LONG ISLAND

Love it each time you go through Bloomington. That's where I grew up! Miss that place.

glad to see you got home safe brother trucker all the best from the uk

love the sound of the turbo whistle along with the deep sound of that engine.

Good job driver, glad your home, Opie such a good boy.🤗🤗

Hay there's a big man unhooking a trailer to many pizza's and zingers lol just kidding Kurt glad you made it home safely

Damn I love the sound of that engine!! 😌

Found your channel a month or two ago, and subscribed. Like your content so much that I’ve started watching all the previous videos just to catch up! Former OTR driver (short while) from CO originally, but now live in Parkersburg IA since 2009. Prayers for your travels 🙏🏼

You & Opie be safe getting back to Iowa!

"GREAT DRIVING MY FRIEND' 🚛🚛

That was an amazing sunset. We live in a beautiful country. To end the day with a sunset like that must make your day. It made mine. Thanks for the Videos

Glad to see to see you showing old Glory blowing in the wind. Be careful out there Kurt.

Good Ole Hy-Vee. Great place to deliver to. I stayed mostly at the one in Chariton, Iowa

Ankle biters🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂........glad you boys had a safe trip 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏

I enjoyed this video Mr. Kurt. Just subbed ya 2 days ago. This snow storm video is up there in some of your best content in my opinion. Thank you sir. Not complicated. Just simple trucking thru the snow and ice with a great companion, the old German. Lol. 👍

But look at that sky awesome Stay warm and Stay safe.

Glad you two are ok, weather out there looks bad

Thank you for the bridge 😊 that sunset 🌅 was beautiful. Happy that you got through the snow storm before it got bad. It did get really bad. I think all states have wind 🌬 all countries too.. that was so funny of you kicking snow ❄️ on Opie ‼️😆man, when you was unhooking your eyes was glowing…scary 🤭😬 Opie looked super relaxed and so did Jax 😊🐹🐠🐾🦂🦮🐕‍🦺🐿👋🤪

!2 hours late watching today so I am glad you made it through ok. You are a top-notch driver and good at YT too. We really enjoy your vids. Have a good couple of days with family and above all havagudun Kurt.

You were in my neck of the woods so to speak. About 1 1/2 south of Champaign, we really got hammered yesterday. A lot of ice. Amazing what 24 hrs does for things. Sun was out all day and melted all that bad stuff away. Enjoy your home time.

Looks like another day at the office. Glad to see you made it home safely big dog. Looks like your new tires held up

Thank Goodness !... There you are ! I have been worried you were caught up in some terrible weather. Glad you are both safe !

Love your videos

We love the Iowa 80, stopped there many times. Bought my most recent CB there, slept in the RV parking and visited the truck museum, well worth it and free😎

I don't miss those Iowa snow storms. Here in Bama we just have to worry bout tornado outbreaks. Stay safe

We lost visibility a few times nothing bad ..LOL. I was holding my breath a few times. Glad I don't have to drive in that. You did an amazing job Kurt. Stay safe.

Great appreciation to you drivers who do it in the snow, I had to go to Haleakala Crater to lowboy a water truck down, told NPS is ain't happening, it's frozen, rent one from us for your bird sanctuary, call us when it thaws, kudo to you fellow truckers in the states!

Watching this video. I live in peoria. Love watching your videos!

Be careful out there and have a safe trip. Hi opie.

Stay safe you two !

More of the CB radio in the driving videos Kurt.

Hi Ope in Kitchener last night we got 15 inch the good white snow. school are close and it was a good time at home. Friday night is at 16 of and Saturday is at -8 it will fell like. Tell you need your boots on it will to cold or water boots. Have safe trip and tell brother it cold. bye from a little boy

I was able to "like" this video. I was #1101 the way it looks. Thank you for your time.

Be safe out there

Yea I was in it all started south of Oklahoma city and ended in Topeka ,KS took me damn near 10hrs to drive 360 miles

I came out of Minnesota yesterday's, weather up there was cold ,windy clear .

You're lucky that you don't need chains. I'm sure your roads are in a lot better shape than they are here in Washington. Our roads are so tore up, with potholes and low spots, You can go through a set of shocks in no time. In a truck, it is worse in some place's due to the constant cold and ice in the winter. Like driving on washboard. Enjoy a few days off. It was well deserved.

I was in Punta Arenas, Chile for a year building a Methanol Plant. The most southern city in the world. Antarctic. We ran spicked tires in the winter, and ran 65+ with no problem on my Nissan four-wheel-drive pick up!

I love white 4 wheelers in snow with no lights on

Our favorite C-16 first class yellow girl sounds perfect under the pedal. Get back to the dealer and plug into mother cat ET And get her jakes fixed.Safe travels bud 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Opie is a well minded German. You were wise to push thru early in the day. Bloomington Champaign up to Kankakee we’re bad and lots of slide offs.
