True, I grabbed my trash bag last night, walked around and didn’t see a trash can. I saw all the trash everywhere, could’ve added to it. But I didn’t , I took my trash back to my truck and waited until I found one.
I have to say Schmidt, you hit the nail on the head when describing the people who only care about themselves and are too lazy to dump their trash in one of those thingys...I think they call them a trash can or heck even a dumpster. That is the one thing that irritates me the most about some people. No respect for the property they are trashing and no respect for the people that end up cleaning up after their lazy beepedy beep beeps. Great video and good for you for speaking up. Stay safe out there.
As a guy who has worked at two trucking "centers," it's no fun cleaning that mess up, because the manager/s never buy the equipment to pick it up with. One time I foolishly asked why don't we place dumpsters every 100 feet on the edges of the lot and one said, "Because they just throw the trash AT the dumpster, not in it!" Couldn't help but laugh, because it sounded exactly like he had tried it long ago. 💕🤪
"You are worthless and I cannot wait until your gene pool gets completely wiped off of this planet." has to be one of the best things I've heard all year. Was it brutal? Yes. Did it need to be said? Absolutely. Sadly it applies to more people than just truck drivers.
@@kensmechanicalaffair just lazy, I'm on the road as well and at times I've used piss jugs, but I do take responsibility for myself and clean up my area, when i parked my truck last night for the weekend at a flying j, went around to the passengers side and there as cigarette butts and eggshells on the ground, just no need for that
Thanks for pointing out what your gauges are for and the switches, and what Oppie's sleeping position tells us about the temperature in his section of the cab....👍
Kurt you have nothing to be sorry for. My dad felt the same way about truckers who through trash all over the truck stops as well. He drove OTR for all of my childhood.
Never apologize Kurt for calling out trash truck drivers. We definitely need more truck drivers who care how they drive and how they treat others properties, ie: truck stops.
Ì watched a certain driver throw all his trash out into parking lot, then walk by 10 trash cans at the fuel island to go an shower. Needless to say I picked up all his trash. The piled it all on the hood of his truck and his steps then sat back and watched his reaction when he came back to his truck. PRICELESS!
My wife and I loved your ‘rant’. You are right on with the littering and lack of values so many people have and it’s not just truckers. But certainly truckers can and should do better. Maybe truck stops need more trash facilities or a large dumpster. I really don’t know what is available since I’m not a driver. Thanks for your honesty and for caring. Be safe and see you next time!
100% correct, as Cheesehead Media and all the others also point out. They should have massive fines and if it can be proven by video, the person taking the video gets half! That'll end a lot of litter that is tossed onto the land.
Wow that's a lot of gauges. My dad's mack cabovers back in the day never had all those gauges. Thank you for the tour. It was nice to have someone explane theses things.
Never apologize for the a Holes that leaves trash on the ground, I could not get used to sleeping on the on ramps great video and keep up the good work God bless from GA and happy holidays
Never apologize for taking the truth! Those drivers are the worst part of our industry. Yet they'll be the first ones to cry for the lack of parking. Great rant as it was needed.
I agree with ya on the trashy truckers.. one difference when. I was driving I would actually go make them pick up their mess.. of course I had a few try to challenge me.. which never ended well...for them.. keep the shiny side up buddy
Kurt great vlog as always. It’s disgusting to see all the litter in the truck stop, cctv should spot who they are and fine them! You’re right end their gene pool😂😂👍🇬🇧
I was in New York at a TA and the trucker parked next to me had a bag of human poo hanging from his passenger window. The inside of his truck looked like a dumpster. The garbage can and the store were not very far of a walk. I cannot for the life of me imagine how these people can live like that? It's just disgusting. Very sad and pathetic. I realize a lot of truckers battle with depression and they probably just don't care about life much anymore so they develop these awful disgusting habits, but we can do better than that. Nasty.
When I lived at home, you could walk out and look up and see the stars, moon 🌙 is bright and it’s not a sound and crystal clear… love it, miss it.. it’s quite too where I live, but there are street lights a way down… thank you for sharing, and guess what… I was at the live stream for the duration and it was great 👍👋😊😁🦮🐕🦺
Mr Kurt regarding calling out the slobs sometimes being brutally honest is the only way to get the point across. My opinion your spot on. Safe travels to ya
From 1 frozen bull rack hauler to another, luv your videos!! I retired 7 years ago. O O. I bought a 379 in 05, came from T800. Drove a friend of mines w9 liked u explaining the Ganges. You brought back some great memories of hwy 36!! Beat that road to death, based out of Omaha Ne. Safe travels and God bless you and your family!! Happy holidays and a more prosperous new year!! Is it my imagination but is Opie starting to Grey a little??
Your not overreacting, it is sad some of the drivers we have in the industry!! Been happening since I started in 1994, what are we to do!! Again be safe in your travels and thank you for delivering my meat and produce and other commodities!!
It's rare that the air is so dry that it's so clear. I've only seen it a few times. TMI on the insulated underwear. Now that is disgusting🙂. I do agree that the gene pool could use a bit of chlorine. It has for years. Thanks for the ride. Stay safe and God bless.
Your rant is legitimate. I was in sales and did 50,000 miles for 20 winters in the upper midwest. I enjoy winter. I did not like bad road conditions but back then, 20 years ago I believe people respected each other, property and the environment. Now we farm small scale and travel many miles to our distant adult children, we find many rude, arrogant and obnoxious people in travel centers, rest areas and on the highway. I always look for independent trucks, specialized loads. We enjoy your videos. We have a 10 year GS too!
When we had our Renegade motorhome on the Freightliner Columbia chassis with the 12.8L Mercedes diesel the engine computer read the pyrometer temp and limited the fuel to the motor once it got to 900*. That was done to keep the pistons from melting.
Nice truck tour loved it, i dont have a speedometer, i know when i go to slow when i hear a lot off honking, and when i go to fast i see a lot of colorful light and weeuw weeuw weeuw..................................🙂
There is nothing wrong with calling out a disgusting dirty slob truck driver because there are plenty of out there And I hope you and Opie have a good and safe trip
Mr. Kurt, I love your comment about nasty trashy drivers. Don't apologize for saying the truth. It's about time good people stand up for good and not worry about their feelings.
Hi was watching your video and my cat Garfield was freaking out when the truck was driving and then when Opie hopped out of the truck. I had a good laugh at him
Hey Kurt and Opie, Keep on a Trucking my Friends stay safe and Warm... Merry Christmas to you and your family. Kurt about those people that need to clean up after themselves Your absolutely right about it, i have neighbors that are a mile North of me that are Horrible people.. the County does nothing about it to make them clean it up! Cheer's from North Central Michigan!
About your rant Kurt. You ain't wrong brother. It needed to be said. I'm glad you left it in there. I'm glad you're home for a few days. Say Hi to Mom and Dad and your whole family. God bless y'all. Take care.
Greetings Kurt I'm an old gear jammer . The heaters in the trucks of my day were lousy . I thought right now the new trucks would have good heaters in them .
Mine does! 2021 t680..unless its below zero OR im driving, my heater is on low and midway in the temps. Holy crap, that thing can broil chicken and all the fixins!
People like that are only alive because it's easy to live these days. I think the reason why people like that have never really been a problem until recent times, and why there seems to be more of them than of us now
I agree with your statement about those individuals that don’t care thank you for saying it on video hopefully more people will try to keep truck stops, rest area’s clean so that we as drivers can do our jobs and have place to be a home away from home
Kurt your only speaking from the heart. Why does any body have to trash our Earth, not only Truckers I believe they all should have to spend a day picking up trash, that they threw out.
It is still a family channel Kurt. Maybe a kid will see it and realize litter is wrong. Push some of that snow up here in western Kansas would you. Not that I like snow but the severe drought needs to be broken. Great video. Havagudun trucker.
I agree totally, but it doesn't stop with filth in parking lots/ Ramps but you are correct sir about knowing who they are ... bathrooms are no different. Can't clean the mess you left on the seat ... seriously. How do you miss the toilet with the paper exactly? Anyway, it needed said. Safe trucking sir.
HELLO KURT & OPIE THE CRYSTAL CLEAR AIR THATS GODS PEACE YOU ARE GOOD TRUCK DRIVER YOUR A HUGE BLESSING TO MANY ! BEAUTIFUL DRIVE ! BE BLESSED BROTHER STAY SAFE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾
Good rant. All true. It seems the majority of drivers out here come from places where they didn't know what trash service was, what running water was , what a toilet was,etc, etc. I see them washing their feet in the sinks, then blow their nose in their hand over the sink, then out the door. Oh, this after they use the toilet stall as their own phone booth, never caring about the next guy. Slobs. When you come here looking to better yourself that's great, but leave the filth that you're running from behind.
It needed to be said, a small group of people are making an entire industry look bad. Good job Kurt!

The only thing I can think of is no it's not brutal it's honestly the truth
goes with the drivers leaving piss jugs and bags of crap everywhere
@@John-kr7iz Why leave the jug full of piss like it's radioactive, that's what I don't get.
@@kensmechanicalaffair just lazy, I'm on the road as well and at times I've used piss jugs, but I do take responsibility for myself and clean up my area, when i parked my truck last night for the weekend at a flying j, went around to the passengers side and there as cigarette butts and eggshells on the ground, just no need for that

Thanks for pointing out what your gauges are for and the switches, and what Oppie's sleeping position tells us about the temperature in his section of the cab....👍
Sometimes the brutal honesty is the only way to go. Good on you for doing the right thing in your own trucking.
Kurt you have nothing to be sorry for. My dad felt the same way about truckers who through trash all over the truck stops as well. He drove OTR for all of my childhood.

too bad you couldn't have gotten that on video
My wife came up with a slogan and we made bumper stickers, "People who litter are trash".
My wife and I loved your ‘rant’. You are right on with the littering and lack of values so many people have and it’s not just truckers. But certainly truckers can and should do better. Maybe truck stops need more trash facilities or a large dumpster. I really don’t know what is available since I’m not a driver. Thanks for your honesty and for caring. Be safe and see you next time!
Yea sometimes, they just don’t change the trash bags. It gets pretty bad. Days go by and they don’t change the cans. It’s a group effort
Good for you stating the truth about lazy worthless people who throw their TRASH out for all to see. It needed to be said!!!!
100% correct, as Cheesehead Media and all the others also point out. They should have massive fines and if it can be proven by video, the person taking the video gets half! That'll end a lot of litter that is tossed onto the land.
That rant was priceless! Learning about the guages was interesting. Thank you and safe travels - hi Opie!
Hello Kurt and Opie people need to clean up after them selves no matter where they are . And you and your family have a beautiful Christmas tree .
Thanks for the inside tour. Love your dog. TY for sharing
Well said Kurt! I agree we need to protect mother at all costs! 🙏🙌
Wow that's a lot of gauges. My dad's mack cabovers back in the day never had all those gauges. Thank you for the tour. It was nice to have someone explane theses things.
I saw clear air like that a few times when I worked for the power company. We were outside all the time.
Never apologize for the a Holes that leaves trash on the ground, I could not get used to sleeping on the on ramps great video and keep up the good work God bless from GA and happy holidays
Well said, we know which ones they are and your right. They don’t even care if you catch them and say something. Locusts
Never apologize for taking the truth! Those drivers are the worst part of our industry. Yet they'll be the first ones to cry for the lack of parking. Great rant as it was needed.
@ 1:23... hey that's the hometown of col. potter from M.A.S.H... Hannibal, MO
You are totally correct about litter. It is disrespectful to all of our home and it's awesome beauty.
Thanks for the dashboard tour....👍👍
Wish all dogs had caring owners like opie does.
I agree with ya on the trashy truckers.. one difference when. I was driving I would actually go make them pick up their mess.. of course I had a few try to challenge me.. which never ended well...for them.. keep the shiny side up buddy

Thanks for explaining the gauges on first class!
You look cooold, Kurt. Come on back down to Texas. Almost summer with many a/c units still chugging along
Your rant is legitimate. I was in sales and did 50,000 miles for 20 winters in the upper midwest. I enjoy winter. I did not like bad road conditions but back then, 20 years ago I believe people respected each other, property and the environment.

Great job! I agree with you! Best to your family!
When we had our Renegade motorhome on the Freightliner Columbia chassis with the 12.8L Mercedes diesel the engine computer read the pyrometer temp and limited the fuel to the motor once it got to 900*. That was done to keep the pistons from melting.
I totally agree with your rant. And you kept it family friendly, it's just to bad it has to be said. You and Opie truck it safe 😎
The cinematography of your videos is simply amazing, keep it up brother. Stay safe out there!
Kurt well said, I'm looking forward to the weekend so I can binge watch your week, like every other week I enjoy you!
Kurt, Well said Sir, You & Opie have safe travels.
Did you see those big life size transformers in front of that firework business. They are awesome
Foresty Forest he lives in a van, Foresty Forest. Glad you watch his channel too. Mav is great too
Glad you left the rant in..needs to be heard. You're the best Kurt!
Polish those dang nab rims and first class would look insane 🤣🤣🤣
Nice truck tour loved it, i dont have a speedometer, i know when i go to slow when i hear a lot off honking, and when i go to fast i see a lot of colorful light and weeuw weeuw weeuw..................................🙂
So how do you keep track of miles in each state for Fuel Tax?
That's not horrible that's the truth and we are all glad you said it.
Keep it up brother
Especially that trash flys onto neighboring properties with the winds. Totally fxcked up for the neighbors close by as well!
There is nothing wrong with calling out a disgusting dirty slob truck driver because there are plenty of out there And I hope you and Opie have a good and safe trip
I have to agree with ya Kurt with the trash at truckstops, on ramps and rest areas it's pretty frickin disgusting.🤙🇺🇸👍
Glad you left your rant in, it was definitely needed!
Awesome gauge setup.
Mr. Kurt, I love your comment about nasty trashy drivers. Don't apologize for saying the truth. It's about time good people stand up for good and not worry about their feelings.
Thanks for a great video Kurt has for truckers who dump there rubbish makes you wonder what there home is like.

100% Spot on with that “rant”. Kurt, Please do not apologize. Truck drivers are becoming the stereo type they always were perceive to be.

Amazing as always. God bless you
You said you don't listen to anything. We beg to differ. You're listening to that kitty CAT sing it's song as she purrrrrs down the highway.
Good thing you are not trucking in southern Saskatchewan this morning. Temp was -35 c windchill was -51c. At those temps both C and F are the same.
Yeah...you dont wanna hear him complainin about the cold! 😂
Just out of curiosity,where does C and F meet? I didn't know that they did.
@@johnmcclain7072 Celsius and Fahrenheit. Canada unfortunately is metric. But at those temps both are the same temp
@@johnmcclain7072 They meet at 0
I loved your gene pool comment.😂 It totally pisses me off when I see all that rash just tossed on the ground. To lazy to walk to a trash can.
I agree with you on the drivers who make us look back
People like that are only alive because it's easy to live these days. I think the reason why people like that have never really been a problem until recent times, and why there seems to be more of them than of us now
You are totally justified for your rant, I feel the same, thanks Kurt, hug Opie for me.
I agree with your statement about those individuals that don’t care thank you for saying it on video hopefully more people will try to keep truck stops, rest area’s clean so that we as drivers can do our jobs and have place to be a home away from home
Kurt, I want to know what that thing is on top of your CB that looks like a miniature lava lamp I used to have in the 70's, .
Were you coming across hwy 36 when you showed the ethanol plant? Looked like Moberly.
Kurt, it's not cold, I'll trade you. I am 480 miles North of Trucker Josh, and 210 miles East South East of The King of Obsolete. F'n cold.😱🤣😎👍👍
Kurt your only speaking from the heart. Why does any body have to trash our Earth, not only Truckers I believe they all should have to spend a day picking up trash, that they threw out.
Awesome rolling hills.
Being BRUTAL is sometimes necessary!
Those truck drivers are lazy to say the least. They don't care about much at all. The statements you made about them are 100% correct.
Thanks for the video brother 💪
Almost sounds like a 2 cylinder John Deere tractor the white truck lol
Hi Kurt, Are you sure that the in the truck High tech temperature gage isn't affected by the heat output from Opie?
It is still a family channel Kurt. Maybe a kid will see it and realize litter is wrong. Push some of that snow up here in western Kansas would you. Not that I like snow but the severe drought needs to be broken. Great video. Havagudun trucker.

Kurt you don’t need to apologize for those driver who don’t care about the garbage they throw anywhere.
First time ever committing to anyone, the genepool commit was........ AWESOME 👍
Does you and Dan's truck have brakes on the front (steer) axle??
Finally got internet back after 2 weeks. Was going into Opie withdrawl.
