20 years in the navy and I missed many events, never apologize for caring about family and putting them first.
You shouldn't blame yourself. These things happen and you should go home. Family is the most important thing right now. That's just my opinion.
Most important thing at any time.
I agree James he needs to go home.
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
If he tests negative then take him with you. My Dad took me out on the road at least 3 times a year since I was 3 yrs old. Best ever memories ever in his old Mack cab over.
Kids are stronger than us old people, he’ll be fine, you have thousands praying for your beautiful family
Just started watching the video only a minute or two in, I agree with you go home. Money is only money but your family is everything.
Rodney in indianapolis. In love your videos surly agree with your down to earth ways. Stay safe motoring there neighbor 🙏
Thank you
WOW...I’m a 61 year-old female who has never heard another human being call their mother ‘mommy’...my MOMMY died Christmas eve 2020...I miss her so very much. Talk to her every day. Nobody ever made fun of me for calling her mommy, but especially growing up, when all my friends called their mother ‘mom’, I could sense their thoughts about me. NEVER have I ever called her anything other than MOMMY. GOOD ON YOU. BTW, you were recommended to me by my DADDY (81 year-old Moon/Smith’s Transfer/Carolina/ABF retiree- they were divorced when I was 13), a lifelong trucker, who appreciates your channel.
Thank you and its mommy for life
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 YES IT IS! ♥️
Not your fault, your out there making a living don't beat yourself up over it. Trucking has it's costs and you can't always be there through the hard times. I have two daughters of my own. Hopes and prayers for you and your family.
Don’t apologize all bets are off when it comes to our kids never seems like an easy decisionWhen family is involved
I’m not a truck driver, but I’m an airline pilot so I’m always away from home too. 3 kids. I’d be loosing my mind if I had all that going on at home. Good luck to you and your family.
You said it. I’m a locomotive engineer, so I know all about it.
I’m retired truckdriver and spend my time watching videos about planes.
God's speed. Prayers to you and the family.
You were 100% correct to go home. God and Family is all that matters in this world. Everything else is secondary. And I am sure they are glad you are back. Enjoy being home. We'll seeya next time.
Your priorities are adjusted perfectly.
I haven't even finished the video yet. That's your family and you know how to take care of your family. 🙏
You do what you have to do, don’t let anything get between you and your family. Don’t beat yourself up to much,be with your family and I will keep all of you in my prayers.
Our prayers are with you and your family. YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. Hang in there and be proud. Yeah, those wheels gotta roll, but sometimes you gotta follow your ❤️, and your heart is telling you to go home. Godspeed on their recovery and you staying safe.
Thank you
Prayers and well wishes and hope you all feel better soon
I will keep you and your family in my prayers and wish you the best
Hope you can enlighten me on diesels not being admitted to CA sometime in the future. It will give me great pleasure letting them know about 50yrs. ago.. Australians are forever grateful to those Americans who lost their lives in the Pacific all those years ago. In the small town where I live they have placed an anchor in the park in honour of those men who went to Gradual Canal not to return.That anchor came all the way from Williamsburg VA. My grandfather was a Yankee. Best wishes , good luck, and above all, good health.
I would go home too. Kids and family are ALWAYS number 1. Wishing you and yours all the best from way out west. Oregon.
Hi Mr. Schmidt, sorry to hear tater tot and warden are still sick but great to hear they're getting stronger. Don't be so hard on yourself i know as parents we second guess ourselves but you made the right decision at the time. Hopefully lil bud will test negative and both of you gentlemen will make some memories together trucking. I'll continue praying for you all god bless stay safe and stay home 😊.
Thank you, much appreciated
You are a good father!!! You are doing the right thing!!! We will pray for you and your family!!
Thank you
Don't worry man everything will be alright. hope to see your family fully healed from the virus and don't let down your positivity....!
Thank you
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I like you more each time I watch you, good luck bud.
I just came across this two-year-old video. Hindsight? Your thoughts? Two years ago was a soul-searching experience for every one of us. I'm glad, therefore, that you chose the way you did. So much guilt, and subservience to an unknown with respect to a virus infection (called a pandemic). Each of us had to make decisions. Making family decisions were difficult but we made them. I think we all were confronted with what was important. All I can say is this is one hell of a good video. It's an inspiration for me. I built many/most of the Illinois PCS cell sites in Iowa and was based in DesMoines for 9 months to I know the roads you were on well.
Me and my church praying for you and your wonderful family's ...stay safe and God Bless you & Family !!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you its much appreciated
Family is very important you need your family many prayers for you all
Brother i hope you and your family come through fine and never apologize for doing what a man need to do for his family
Hi Mr. Schmidt don´t feel ashamed you must be with your family, because we know that they are the most important part of you life, we are going to be praying for your family and for you. God bless you ever, best wishes from Mx.
Thank you
Pray everyone gets better soon
Oh man when I see those views I miss the road. Great music also.15 years but started in '96 Diesel in the blood. Blessings
We praying for lil bud you your whole family Amen.I just finished my Radiation on Friday.still got a long road ahead of me
From one trucker to another! Prayers to you and your family brother! Do not feel ashamed for expressing your feelings. I wish more of us in this profession could follow your lead and be open. You are making the absolute best decision. Family means everything. I would be doing the exact same thing. Once again prayers to you and your family! Stay safe brother!
Thank you
Just saw your video. I hope everyone is ok and feeling better. God bless. Stay safe. Hope to see you back on the road.
Hope your family is ok. Don't worry it will all work out. Nothing like seeing your family when you come off the road it takes all the stress away.Stay safe
Yes it definitely does
Man that's a tuff one. But I can tell you one thing. I can tell you already know. When it comes to that little voice in your heart, especially when it's tugging on you hard, you don't ignore it. Ever. Praying for your family and you.
Yup, thank you
You shouldn't second guess your decision. You have to do what your heart leads you to do. My husband drove truck for over 40 yrs and I know It's not really safe for you to be driving distracted, worring about your family. Be safe...you are continuously in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m in the same boat. Kids are all healthy, but school is on partial days and my daughters daycare is shutdown for 14 days. My wife is stuck at home with them, she has to use her sick days from work to take care of them. It’s a helpless feeling, I feel it to. I’m taking all next week off to help relieve her. Family first, the big road can wait. Take care!
It definitely is.
Much respect!! You and you’re family will be in prayers.
Totally agree with your decision Kurt! Would do the same! Hope everyone recovers quickly!
Family first- do what you think best. Prayers to you and your family
Thank you
You had to go home to check on your family. Praying little bud doesn’t have it. Spending my prayer to you all.
You made the right call to go home, family first. I remember as a kid before cell phones dad would call home every few days when he was on the road to check up on us. There was nothing better than when you see that truck pulling up to the house after a long haul. I will never forget my grandfather and my dad both telling me that they would kick me in the ass if I ever drive a truck, well Apple didn't fall from the tree. Take care of yourself and your family, you did the right thing!
As a driver there's no better feeling then seeing the kids come out the door to greet us truckers when we pull up.
Complete respect for you, this is the first time I've seen your post. I'm a 4th generation trucker myself. My daughter is a RN nurse and has been working on the COVID patients since the beginning, and my brother is the Director of the Health Department over 8 counties. They have been working 1st hand day in and day out. I would like to thank you for making your family 1st and taking this virus seriously, and posting this video.
Wow thats an amazing family. Thank you for watching
Prayers for you and your family. I understand going home to the family. Being out here on the road and away from family takes a toll on us. Don’t beat yourself up over little bud. Y’all made the best decision at the time for him. Remember GOD IS GREAT and He is in control.
Tbank you.
Hey brother, I live in Southeast Iowa. Never apologize for what you say or how you feel. This is the life of a truck driver and you're not complaining, you're telling us how you are feeling and we all have to do that regardless if it's praying, talking to mommy (lol) (I thought I was the only one who still calls his mom mommy). Me and my family will be praying for you all with a speedy recovery. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Lol always mommy. Thank you and you as well.
Been at this game for 30 long years…one thing that has always keep me going…my family. Brother you know as well as anyone our families always come first. Please be safe.
Family first buddy ALWAYS! Awesome channel hope ur family recovers safely
You look the family first and all thing will be praying for all of you. I'm in kitchener Ontario Canada. Park the truck just with the family. God will look after you. 😇😇😇
Thoughts and Prayers are with You and Your Family......
Once a Trucker ALWAYS a Trucker ! Never Ever apologize for going home. Family is the MOST important thing there is. If you want you can always go back on the road. I have a friend who runs coast to coast he has three little ones and has missed out on Sooooooo Much. He tells me that's what he does sorry but I can't do that. You are doing what is right for you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers 🙏
Family is always important. Supporting your family is positive, not your fault they got sick thats out of your control.
As a over the road driver for 25 plus years I can relate with the mental anguish. It will wear you down. I agree with your decision to be home. Without family you have no anchor. I also outlived two four legged passengers who traveled along with me. Your connection to him is one reason I am a subscriber. Be safe. Cheers
Thank you
God bless you and your family. You all are a awesome family.
Thank you
Continuing sending prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family.
Thank you
You do have a good friend to ask for advice; you may not get the answer you wan but you will get the answer you need. All you have to do is ask! my dogs liked the pickles on a cheese burger. they all liked keeping things simple!!!
Prayers for you and the family. Your beliefs and action is why I follow and watch your videos. Stay strong and glad you are home with the family.
Thank you
You got me men... make me cry, I so hard to be away from family in this business, sometimes I wanna quit too but after a couple hours and looking to the future I just can’t, but if you think that is the best for you and your family just do it
It definitely gets tough at times
I am here for you if you need help. Praying for you and your family always.
Thank you
Be safe Kurt and prayers for the family...GOD BLESS ALL!
God speed to ya bro. Hope the family gets better soon. With nearly 20 years in the service I and my family have missed amot, but family is always first. If u feel u are needed at home and cannot focus on work for the worries of home then bro I most certainly recommend that u need to go home. It is a risk but it is yours and ur families to measure. Good luck with their recovery.
Thank you
I think you are doing the right thing , family first and business second. You shouldn´t blame yourself because you are trying to do the right thing. You are a good man and I wish you and your family all the best. Take care .
Thoughts and prayers for your family and yourself! Family first no matter what!! Keep your head up and keep pushing! The big man upstairs has your back always!! God speed!!
Sending prayers for you and your family.
Prayers to you and your family. I personally do thing going home would be a good idea only because of the down time possibilities to even getting you sick as well at least one provider to keep the house going. Prayers to you and your family that he Keeps you all safe and blessed. And don’t let the mind beat you. 😔💪👍👌🙏
Praying that your family is ok

On a random note, your beard looks awesome lol. I love the bond opie has with you too man. I miss my shepard everyday and its been 15 years since we lost her.
And as always your rig looks and sounds awesome.
Thank you. And tge beard is starting to trun on me lol. Grey is the new thing right ??
Hope your family made a full recovery and that you're all doing well. Cheers from Canada.
Hi, Kurt my friend, You do what your heart tells you to do. Your family is very important and should come first. It is no good being on the road and stressing yourself out over your family being sick at home. If you take a few days off and are by your families side then you will feel a lot better. Remember you are a good father to your children, you go to all their events, you spend weekends all together. So you are the perfect working dad to them. My dad was a truck driver and he was away a lot from the family so I know what it is like. You take care and every thing will be ok in the end. We are thinking of you here in Dublin, Ireland. Thank you for your great videos. Can't wait to see the next one. Eric
Thank you for the kind words
a man has to do what a man has to do for his family. Don't beat yourself up you did not know your family did not know the virus was going to knock on your door. Be safe your family is strong they will pull through. Prayers for your family and yourself dude be well be safe
I drove for Hirschbach back in the earily 70's, hualing meat one way and monkey pickles back. Looking back over all the various companies I pulled for, they were the best.
This is some strange year: UNDERSTATEMENT! You can’t go wrong with caring about your family enough to do what it takes, especially during this weird year! Hope all turns out well. We just tested positive yesterday for it! What a shame! Praying for you and your family all the way from Ohio! 😎
Hopefully it passes through you guys with eas.
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 🇺🇸Thanks! Hope that you guys do well and that you stay healthy. Pray that you have favor in all your trucking decisions as well. 😎
Prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏💓
Should haves are could haves. Lessons learned is the prize. Best of luck to you and yours. Family is everything. I would have done the same.
Family First. Praying for you and your family.

Amazing as always thanks God bless you all
I will pray for you and your family.
Thank you
Mr Schmidt keep your head up it will all work out. Don’t blame yourself the way things are going we all will probably get it. As for me I won’t be a lucky one at 51 and not so healthy. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. And try not to worry.
Your family is always first. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God bless you and your family! Prayers for continued healing for the lady’s and prayers for a negative test for little bud!
Thank you

Mate you do what’s right for you. Hope it all goes well 👍👍
Family is the most important thing in life, and we all need to be with our family at a time like this and we never know when a family member gets the virus until they go in and get tested. Be with your family and they're the most precious part of a your life.
Praying for you and your family
Hope your son is ok. Good luck and loving sprite to you and your family
Yup he's good thank you
Every one in your family hope and prayers get well
Live by faith not by sight. Nothing wrong with some time off.
May the Good Lord bless you for taking time and caring for those that He has entrusted into your care. Finances will come as long as you diligently put your faith in Him.
As a father of 2 kids myself. Man you have no reason to blame yourself. But on another go home be with them. Family is ALWAYS #1 ALWAYS. Prayers to your family and get well fast.
God bless you and your family. I hope little bud is doing well and feeling better. I myself drive truck and don't blame you one bit for going home to your family. I would have done the same. Stay safe, happy, and healthy my friend.

You can't get down on yourself there's a lot of things in life that we can't control sometimes you have to take a step back from trucking and be with your family for support so you got to do what you got to do hats off to you sir now get in there and enjoy your time with your family they may be quarantining but at least you are there that's about all they can ask for in that situation support that's what you're doing
