    The road is a very lonely place when things go sideways. For what it's worth, you did a very good job explaining things to your viewers. Those of us who have been in that situation were right there with you.

    I think, Kurt, one of the reasons I like your channel... is your personality and decision-making process. I watched this episode, and then realized you probably shot and edited way past the event itself - but still, I could see you grappling with the reality you experienced when your "Known" suddenly evaporated. As a lifelong "corporate road warrior" the challenges you faced here are no different than those I often dealt with... except you had the rig and the trailer as additional responsibilities to contend with. Well-played, sir - well-played! 👍

    Once had same happen to me. Pulled fan off, used pliers to squeeze leaks shut as much as possible and dumped a can of, bad habit tobacco into radiator. Pepper, raw eggs also work. Was enough to slow the leak and get 350 miles back home. Sometimes need some out of the box ingenuity. Good luck partner

      On a ski trip in college, some radiator tubes got cut by foreign object damage, in a 1973 Triumph GT6 MK3 2-seater. A friend of mine was in the college auto racing club. He crumpled up aluminum foil, rolled it between his fingers to shape it to fit into each cut tube, with extra inbetween any spaces where he could plug multiple tubes from one gash. Jammed in it, then crimped the tubes any which way we could. Some with pliers, some with hammers from both sides, some doing that in many places. Once a tube is cut and then shut, shutting it in 5 places is better than shutting it in 1 place.
      Then we loaded 10 gallon jugs of water into the car. Radiator cap on just to the first click, to prevent splashing/bubbling out, but not to create/hold pressure. Every 30 minutes, I stopped and topped up the water. Made it from Killington to Boston using only about 3 or 4 gallons of water.
      A girl I'd met on that trip, which was during my year off from college (I was invited skiing by my friends on the college newspaper), kindly invited me to spend the night with her, so I could drive home during daylight. That was 46 years ago. Our twins are 36, we've been divorced for 32 years, and all's well that ends well. Which means not having to see each other too often, just when dealing with major family events, now things like grandkid birthday parties.
      No need to use antifreeze in a system that is leaking it out. Water is fine. Preferably distilled or reverse osmosis, but really anything will do temporarily. Just plan on doing a drain and fill once your system is back up to snuff, and of course don't let it freeze in the meantime without adding antifreeze.

    It sucks to be broken down out away from home. I spent a week in South Bend Indiana back in the nineties while truck was getting rebuilt at Caterpillar. Blew a tip off a injector and destroyed the motor. Spent 5 days in a hotel in Albany New York because I blew a turbo on a Detroit on a Friday and the shop wasn't going to touch it till Monday. It sucks. Got my purchase, enjoyed the note. Remember talking to me on the phone? Well I jumped in....I have 3 up.

    My dad was a long-distance trucker back when I was a kid in the 1970's and 1980's. I so remember how it seemed as though every time a holiday or vacation was coming up, his truck would break down. We were okay with it, though. I don't remember us needing therapy or anything as adults, haha. I love watching your channel because it takes me back to my youth.

    Back in the day when I owned my own truck, I had a 2200 Honda suitcase generator and a 7000Btu stand up A/C strapped into the passenger seat pointing back to the sleeper. On super hot days I couldn't get it below 85 in the sleeper but whenever the sun went down or it was 90 or less ambient temp, it kept the sleeper cool enough for my dog and me.
    The generator weighed 56 pounds and the A/C about the same but I got the full benefit of the 400 - 550 pound allowance for APU in various states. All the gasoline to run the generator was tax deductible as well.

    #144 Mr. Schmidt, I know your pain. It will be July 24th, before I can get my Motorhome in the shop for repairs. The R/V Service Centers are very busy at this time of the year. But for you, it's your employment---food on the table. If the wheels aren't turning, your not earning! I'm retired, but not going anywhere soon---wasting my summer away. At the age of 76, I don't have that much time. Happiness is The Highway!

    Really hated seeing this one bud! My stomach was noting up just watching you stay calm "on the outside". It's one of or the hardest truths of trucking, the brake down well away from home. I always drove as a hired driver so it wasn't my repair dime, but it's hard to swallow a break down that leaves you stranded!
    Thanks for showing the whole driving enchilada, not all of it is pleasant!

    My uncle had the same thing happen. Well it put a 8 inch hole in the radiator. Went and got a bucket of quick Crete let it dry good, took off the fan, got some buckets of water and hit the road 8 hours home. Sadly happened twice on his t2000 within 3 years and roughly just as far did the same method twice and made it both times without a tow lol!

    I feel for you Schmidt, nothing worse than truck troubles on the road, a long way from home. My route is about the same distance from home, often thought what would I do, and where would I go. Did the fan just get brittle from age and come apart from vibration? I'm going to go and check mine right now. My mechanic always tells me 'big trucks, big bucks' Glad Opie wasn't with you, one more stress you don't need.

  • @Ken-sr6jo
    @Ken-sr6jo 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Really feel for you man. With the additional towing, hotel costs, and repairs it really hurts. You have the down time along with crappy freight rates. Had a truck shutdown on me in North Carolina due to a plugged DPF filter. Sat for a day before they could get to it. They send t filter off for a 12 hour bake and shake. IT still wasn’t cleaned, so it had to go back for a 24 hour bake and shake. In total I spent 4 days in a hotel room. As a company driver for Schuster, They paid all expenses and a per diem for breakdown pay. Fortunately I had a truck stop next door with a good restaurant. I’m retired now. A lot of the routs you run look familiar since I’ve been there as well. Labor shouldn’t be bad in pulling a fan and radiator. It’s just a matter of finding the parts in a timely manner.

    When my dad drove. I was with him. In 88. Kinda the same thing. Not as bad. Bad. The bracket broke and took out the fan that took out a little bit of the radiator. We were in New Jersey. A little playing with the damage. We made it back to Omaha. To the company shop. I feel your pain.

    Well, feel for you trucker. About a month ago I blew a tire on my Can-am. Was on a overnight trip with wife and friends. Got a tow to shop for $250.00. Shop was closed and when they opened the next day said couldn't fix it until next day. I needed to get home for personal business so got the tow truck back for another ride and $450.00 in cost. At the end of that day we got home. Late and another $450.00 for tire replacement. A lot cheaper then what your final bill will be but did the same thinking as you. Rent a car drive 12 hour around trip or bit the bullet. Though I wouldn't have to make big decisions after I hung up my double clutch boots but still do or as my wife would say "avengers with Mike". Stay safe brother.

  • @DJPLAST2
    @DJPLAST2 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The main key to the whole process was the “thinking process”. Put a plan together and feel good about it. Prioritize what you needs to be done. Load is #1 priority. Parts availability. Why wait til Monday to get them ordered. Utilize the weekend in your favor. Plan the work, do it yourself or have someone do it. Accommodations, go home, get a room for the duration. Just gotta think it all through and make the right choices. Good luck with your new project. Stay safe, stay happy!

I'm only 4 hrs away in Ohio, i could have come and got you and see if you could get the parts someplace else. You could have rode in Dodge Ram Laramie with a 6-inch life kit and 37-inch tires. Hopefully, your fix now and back, making that money. Stay safe and positive

A driver can only plan for so much this is unfortunate I feel bad this happened. I'm glad it wasn't worse for you I hope you can get things settled and taken care of driver!!💯💯👍

    Bad news Kurt, i guess it was the vent that came off age, some kind of plastics do break after a few years, no profit this weekend i guess.

    You were in my neck of the wood. I live about 10 miles from Plymouth. That is the biggest fear breaking down on the road. I could have been your Uber driver. Have watched your channel for a number of years. Enjoy it.

    44,000 is a light load for me, my loads usually weigh 59,000 and are 14’ wide and 60’ long..hell we have changed a radiator on the side of the road before, oversize escorts took us to get parts hour and half away and swapped it out and still unloaded our oversized loads that evening
