Driving for the Dough

Ride along with a load of sugar used for baking cookies, picked up in Montana and makes its way all the way to South Carolina in the back of a semi truck. Some of the sights you will see are Truck Stops in North Dakota, The Wisconsin Dells, a Service Plaza in Chicago and much more. Trucking is an Adventure!

[@northerncharger1]

Another amazing film Jack, enjoyed it immensely!

[@brianlloyd4822]

Jack. Thanks for a great trip on the cookie run. Seen some country for the first time, it was nice. And I always enjoy your commentary....Love your wit and humor!

[@indianajack]

Thanks Brian

[@argent2020]

This video is so cool. I watch it on my big screen TV and felt as real as the coffee I'm drinking.

[@Ken-xv4sb]

Trucking has never particularly interested me... but since I started watching your videos a couple months ago, it intrigues me more and more. I could literally watch your videos all day long.

[@indianajack]

Thanks Ken and welcome to the community of trucking.

[@JimmPearson]

Hi , Jack hope you are doing well and you keep these great video's coming so we can continue to enjoy them along with your commentary thanks for all you do keeping us table top truckers entertained.

[@indianajack]

Thanks Jim... I will do my best I really appreciate you all watching.

[@JimmPearson]

Jack, I just spent 6 weeks in the hospital and my grandson ask me what was the first thing I was going to do when I got home and I told him I was going to get caught up with Indyanna Jack on my computer ! he said who's that so now he watches you ,thanks again .

[@JOHNMORIN100]

Thanks Jack for the lift, we enjoyed the trip it has been an adventure for sure

[@Meowercizer1717]

Thanx for the ride, Jack...Great show, keep it up !

[@robertkerr3059]

I can imagine the wisonsin board of tourism chocked on their donuts when they heard you advise peeps across the pond to avoid wisconsin winters despite the reports voracity , truth to power brother, how refreshing

[@w056007568]

A most interesting trip, thanks for taking us along. That Wisconsin Dells place is really pretty.

[@PoxyBear]

Thanks for these great videos. I'm studying for my CDL Class A license and the way that you shoot your videos makes it easy follow along as if you're also behind the wheel. I'm checking 15 seconds ahead, watching the traffic around you. You get a very good sense of the road and what's out there from a truckers POV. Please keep it up.

[@tomswinburn1778]

You're doing yourself a great service following Jack and some of the other truckers with channels. You can learn a LOT from watching these guys. Not only the driving part and handling customers and dispatchers, but for the most part THESE guys keep a positive attitude. Learn from that. And much success in your career.

[@tc3070]

You got a squeak every time you turn the steering wheel. Driving me crazy!

[@redfredrickson5419]

Great film Jack , keep up the good work ,

[@jetteroheller96]

Awesome! I like how you mix it up and make each one a little bit different. The voice over was a nice touch, very pro!

[@davidbevilacqua6934]

Cookie Ops never stop Jack...Remember the time you walked into that company and nobody was home?

[@SteelyPaw]

I watched this video on 6/23/2018 - I can really see the difference 5 years has made on Old Red looks wise........ You know I believe since they started making drivers keep a log book, then did away with paper logs because paper logs could easily be “fudged”, the E-Log has created more demand for truck drivers. You figure every truck on the road has to stop for 30 minutes, then 10 hours, etc. that is a lot of time that drivers are sitting (down-time). I know in the old days as a kid of about 17 years old, I’d load flat beds with steel bars of all sizes and configerations (25 ton bridge crane). Not only did they over load and know how to avoid the scales, they'd sleep six hours and drive the rest. To me, that is fairly dangerous, so the E-Log does two things, makes trucking a bit safer for everyone and provides more work for the same trucks and work for new truckers that are new and still learning especially OTR drivers. Of course that is just my opinion I could be wrong. Currently flat beds can't work hard enough which is a combination of the E-Log’s and our economy in my opinion. ............ I always enjoy riding along with you Jack...

[@tyhaar1]

Got a chuckle of the truck stop you were at in Dickinson, ND (Tiger truck stop) and the true "Tiger" truck stop in Louisana.... Been to the one in LA a few times going to visit family in MS...

[@ecovention]

I find all your Trucking blogs really good all the other Trucking blogs get boring quickly but your's are interesting

[@cluuck4617]

That was a good trip, thanks Jack.

[@jcksnjy]

That was a neat video. What a difference between beginning and end with the scenery. You weren't too far from me in Columbia. Thanks for sharing.

[@littlejoetrucker5333]

Agreed, we NEED the industry, just not the "Frickin' Frackin'". LOL As usual, another terrific video. Keep up the great work, and keep it safe out there!

[@stevengriffith436]

Kind of cool seeing the old Louisville bridge again. Been in the new several times...js

[@bubbafinch07]

The tiger in Louisiana has the best red beans and rice in the damn country. Plus throw in some of that sweet chili sauce on the table along with the corn bread and sausage they give you. Damn, now I have to go to Louisiana.

[@cathy9160]

Carlos Finch love jbg he is another favorite of mine .and he is a very good driver also.

[@zepcak4ever372]

Mentioning JBG he is my favorite trucker too.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

I really enjoy these tapes. Please continue

[@melvinthompson5132]

Another Great video once again now i need a big glass of milk with all those cookies lol:) be safe on the highways!

[@rdr8224]

Just ran into your channel, pretty neat, think I'll subscribe. I have always pondered becoming a driver after my current career wraps up on a year or so.....ready for an entire different career and I love the thought of driving into Miami and three days later being in northwestern North Dakota.

[@kevinskogmo4509]

Interesting,i drive mixer truck,I never went over the road,its a whole different game.i have to do log books,but we can drive 14 hour days the way ours are set up.i like seeing how you have to think about things as a long haul driver.seems to me if you don't play your cards right you can end up loosing money if you get paid by the mile.i guess that is where experience comes to play!!god bless I enjoy watching your videos.be safe out there.

[@JOHNMORIN100]

I wish i had a blinker like yours ours sticks on at times -you know what i mean no doubt.

[@josephlineberger443]

Starbucks needs to teach their people to smile. Great movie!

[@calitrucker1]

I really do enjoy your videos Jack. another great one here. be safe out there.

[@youcanttriplestampadoubles5525]

Another great video, thanks Mr.Jack

[@billq3619]

Take the cookies if they give you some samples jack.hey looking good stay safe.love your vlogs

[@jpmalette6427]

Awesome VIDEO, love the trip. Stay safe. JP Malette, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. 3 hours north of your sugar pickup.

[@Robard65]

And about 4 days from the cooky factory in Columbia, South Carolina, where the the sugar was delivered ...

[@MannyMoto1]

Cool video, like your channel.

[@wb6she]

Love this one...beautiful scenery, excellent video quality, nice.. Bill in Ca

[@jimgamble2429]

Thumbs up for you,as always, Jack. B-)

[@gailjohnson6670]

WOW YOU WERE IN MY HOME TOWN MENOMONIE WISCONSIN. NOW THERE IS THREE TRUCK STOPS WHERE YOU STOPPED AT EXIT 45. A LOVES TRUCK STOP, ALSO RECENTLY BUILD TWO YEARS AGO 2015. WE HAVE 3M AND CONGRA FOR SOME OF INDUSTRIES. MAYBE THAT IS WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO THINK OF FOR COMPANIES AT MENOMONIE.

[@hellcat1962]

It seems that you live out of the truck stops. You see a lot of videos from other truckers saying eating out all the time is a good way to go broke. Also, the health repercussions from eating high fat high sodium food all the time will take its toll.

[@robertreital9729]

Loved the video!! Next time you swing through the KC yard, I would like to meet you. Never met anyone famous before. lolol

[@ronereynolds89]

Love your videos can't wait to get on the road. Be safe out there

[@Ron4936]

thank you for the ride, Sir :)

[@kevinh1907]

Good man Jack!

[@raincoast2396]

Hello Jack. I very much enjoy your videos and have been following you on your channel for some time. You need to check the ground on your turn signals. The right turn signal is okay, with the interrupter module being normal. However, your left turn signal is suffering from a poor ground, as the interrupter is operating at a rapid pace. A sign of a poor ground. Safe motoring, cheers.

[@Harley04]

In golf, it's drive for show and putt for DOUGH, ha ha ha ha ha

[@jbot6902]

Thanks for taking us along !

[@johnpcampanile]

Theres a pilot flyin j on interstate 94 on the state line of montana,north Dakota. Been there a few times when I was living in fallon mt. Keep on truckin

[@jcksnjy]

My favorite so far though is your footage of Oregon.

[@egdiryellam68]

It's good to hear the indicators clicking, doesn't annoy me one bit

[@Harley04]

Quality equipment, cameras & microphone will do that

[@zepcak4ever372]

Indicated as one of turn signal light bulbs are out when doing faster clicking. Check them out Indiana Jones, LOL

[@geezer652]

Good call Anto. Agreed, left side. Happy Trails Jack.

[@albertsoler9932]

Business is needed imperative in America Jack. The more the merrier ......more loads for truck drivers too.

[@btingay]

great vid as always...thanks

[@GabbaGabba78]

That's some fancy ordering at the Starbucks. Great video as always.

[@ernestopalacios2057]

thank you for the video jack

[@bigtruknut]

In my limited experience, if a turn signal flashes rapidly and the other flashes normally, its usually caused by a burned out bulb. Could be dual bulbs in the front with one burned out or a single element burned out on the bulb on the rear of the tractor. Just a thought cause little things like that bug me until I find out what it is.

[@vegetarianwolf7417]

Thx for great video.

[@WearySteerer]

What a sweet run. 😎

[@XGiveMeLibertyX]

Great vid!

[@GertLadefoged]

I might be moving to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon. Frank Zappa Exellent video.

[@btingay]

i was singing that as i watched the 1st part of this vid...

[@TheKwtrucker]

great video loved it keep em coming ps when you were leaving the service plaza in il after you got your coffe that was one sharp green pete i think it was pulling that stainless steel spread axle reefer getting off on the other side of the freeway

[@nwscrew63]

Jack, your blinker is blinking really fast, common to a burnt out bulb, or a flasher about to give out on you.

[@maximeblouin5314]

tanks for your video that give me an idea of my futur travel in the usa!

[@water892]

One of your lights is out on truck by the rapid pace of your left turn signal.

[@hawk4174]

Another video Jack where ya were in my neck of the woods.😁😁😉😉

[@Gdddghhrwscbkjgesdcc]

That's a long haul just to get some sugar

[@shnimmuc]

Great video. Archive.

[@lynguist]

nice video once again, thx jack! also to the music man in the background. the narration i personally dont like too much. keep safe, have a good week

[@hrm350694]

Sounds like u have a turn signal light out. U can tell how fast the flashers r working.

[@louisglen1653]

I agree

[@rwp8809]

Interesting Video.

[@Wiscotac]

Nice Wis. & Ill. I-road history stories. Voice over travel info is okay too.

[@Hurricane96]

I google mapped your route. You traveled about 1875 mile from start to finish...

[@buddybarker1044]

The only state I've heard you say you don't like is the one I'm from.☹ Still enjoy ur videos

[@joshsteeves1298]

awsome video

[@donnywright7501]

I thought you truckers were seeing objects in the night. WRONG!!!

[@krizington85]

Have you ever considered doing a transborder load to Canada? I know the truck stops are few and far in between and not as good

[@meatman3042]

Great stuff .

[@Darkkfear1]

Nice edits!

[@SICILN]

If you go to the dells in the summer ... bring a fly shatter.....Lou

[@jamiebarnett4878]

we have a really small Flying J in Minot

[@timothyderocher5482]

Where in Columbia, South Carolina is the cookie company, cause I (Timothy DeRocher) use to live in Columbia, South Carolina

[@tomswinburn1778]

I guess I'm lucky I never got into the Starbucks craze. I don't like flavored coffee, lattes, frappuccino or any of Starbucks offerings. This is not a commercial for Folgers, but the dark roast fine grind Black Silk is my go to coffee. I suspect that has saved me a huge bundle over the years. And if I happen to be caught out and without my coffee maker the "new" McDonalds coffee floats my boat. Strong isn't the right word and bold sounds wrong, but I like coffee that tastes like coffee. It needs to be hot, black and address you with authority. Each to his own.

[@indianajack]

I actually like Mc Donalds coffee better than Starbucks. It is Starbucks Frappuccinos that I like.

[@arps003]

Hi Indiana Jack. I have been watching your videos online. I like them very much. Very adventurous. Can you help for making me a sucessfull U.S truck driver , though I am not from U.S ?

[@larryehrlich8702]

In my travels I only found the Venti size coffee in America. None of the other countries in the world carried the "Venti" size coffee...Europe, Africa, Asia, or Australia. At McDonalds in Australia the coffee automatically came with cream unless you asked for it to be black?

[@texansandcandy9217]

Travel Plaza's are normally full, you got lucky.

[@johnpaull5790]

JACK HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED AT WAWAS ON THE EAST COAST GREAT CONV STORE AND ALWAYS HAVE BIG TRUCK PARKING !!

[@indianajack]

yes my best friend's wife talks about them constantly.

[@7schleicher7]

He had no seatbelt on as that cop drove by :-)

[@normanmcgill9532]

Great trip Jack. Why would a load of sugar for SC have to come all the way from Montana? We have tons of sugar here in Florida just down the road. Pete

[@criswest4813]

Hey, jack have you ever done any loads going through glacier national park in Montana? Or up near Kalispell, MT? And if so was it a hard road to drive a big truck like that?

[@douglasmccarty1196]

I've noticed you always haul van trailers, have you ever hauled flatbed and if so b-trains as well?

[@JimJurena]

Yes, I DO wonder about showers. Are they often free, or do you have to pay to use one? Thanks.

[@MET90LX]

+Jim Jurena most truck stop chains (ta,pilot,flying j) if you buy 50 gallons of fuel or more you get a free shower. otherwise yes you need to pay a small fee.

[@ppger44]

At 3:00, can you imagine the wear on brake shoe pads after driving through a sandy area?

[@charlesdyer2376]

YUM-YUM I like cookies to

[@Xantec]

still not got your turn signal sorted yet Jack?

[@mrvolvomercedes]

Thumbs up

[@gregburgess6884]

Smokey went by you not what I said earlier lol

[@killerkowalski7971]

Watching in 2021 🚚

[@robertjackson4121]

Would help to know total miles and estimate thru each state. Give a person total miles each trip then an idea of truck stop rating 1-5 star. An idea about MT passes

[@JeepersCreepers2013]

Whoa!!! Did you fly into that service plaza or what?? Good thing nobody was walking across, because you had no time to slow down at all.

[@indianajack]

+JeepersCreepers2013 I don't remember that. Usually I drive pretty slow.

[@cathy9160]

indianajacktrucker someone is sitting home on their sofa telling a trucker how to drive.lol love your videos and stories jack .

[@JeepersCreepers2013]

indianajacktrucker right around 19:00... not trying to insult anyone... just an observation

[@JeepersCreepers2013]

cathy9160 actually I was in my sleeper watching this video, so.... not everything is as it seems there, cath

[@teddychris3897]

I have heard you mention this before..Did you know that we can not hear you when the turn signal is going off. Your voice is diminished when its on. So why is you sound system picking up the signal so loud where do you have the mic.

[@julianyale4706]

That left turn signal blinking fast that mean you got a blowout do you remember?

[@indianajack]

I'm sure the bulb was out at the time.

[@archerhill64]

How come a Bobtail truck irritates drivers when they take up a spot? Where should they go if they have been driving all day? I am not a driver so I do not know.

[@dalehedrick4530]
