Fargo

[@tomallis3954]

Once again a very enjoyable ride Jack. I'm enjoying some new roads I've never traveled or seen before since your change of operation. Thank you for sharing your adventures sir.

[@amascia8327]

Even the little storm was nice. Liked the photography.

[@ozarks_homesteader]

Jack, you've mentioned Nestle's Water a couple of times. I never had that, but I did have a couple of pick ups at Nestle Purina kitty litter in the foothills outside of Maricopa, CA. Getting there was an adventure all in itself, but the worst part was when their scale was busted and I had to truck all the way to scale at Buttonwillow. Kitty litter loads are max heavy and, as luck would have it, they had mis-loaded to the tune of a couple thousand over on my drives. I ended up trucking all the way back to the plant so they could rearrange the load. By that time I was long out of hours and couldn't make it back to Buttonwillow. I ended up spending the night on a wide spot on the narrow, winding road coming down from the plant. Obviously, they'd had this situation occur many times because there was a trash barrel there just for us truckers. It was actually a beautiful night. Extremely peaceful and quiet, with a view of the valley to die for. I wish we could post photos here, as I have a really good one showing me in my own private little spot by the side of the road. Back to the scale at Buttonwillow, and the load was still off, but nothing that couldn't be resolved by burning off a little fuel in time before the next weigh station. I'm retired now, Jack, but your videos give me a yearning. Thanks.

[@paulbickley658]

You do teach me a lot of another side of trucking from a different point of view...

[@dennisharwell4002]

Great video Jack keep them coming safe travels to you

[@miguelnunez5135]

Hey jack, wainting is part of trucking, I deliver a load on a 30 footer, and it took over 3 hours to unload it.. those guys took their sweet time. I was really burning. but otherwise i love this job. Good video,, keep it coming.

[@glenvant]

Hey Jack, I live in MN and it is a good thing you stopped in Osseo, WI. That storm, although not as bad as predicted did much hail damage. The hail in the street was 3" high or more. Roofs severely damaged as well as cars and trucks. My daughter, son in law and friends had over 8K each in damage to there vehicles. My brother now needs a new roof on his house. I enjoy your video's. I used to haul for Walmart out of the DC in Tomah, WI. It's fun to see your video's of places I used to drive. I knew what truck stop you were at in Osseo before you mentioned the name of the town. Neat. Fargo doesn't have a lot of freight coming out of there. I've also been by the potato chip place in Perham before. Drive safe.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Jack that was a very good and precise piece of reversing and the skill needed. Well done Jack. Kind regards John Tasmania Australia

[@rodmackinnon8497]

That was some tricky maneuvering . . . great video . . .

[@oversizeloadtv3163]

excellent video it brings back memories of the fargo truck stop haven't been there for a while

[@jimriley2248]

I'm glad I found your channel...very good video!

[@waylonwolfe627]

great video mr.jack just got time to watch it be safe out there on your adventure from Paris Texas God bless you and thank you for keeping American rolling

[@beerrunner8153]

I run that road all the time and the nice thing about Fargo is it has 4 truck stops. Petro, Staymart, FJ, and Loves. If your running late go the the Petro or Staymart. The other 2 will be packed. The FJ also has a bar if your stuck for a reset. All 4 are clean. The one I like best is the Staymart. Nice store with lots of stuff, fast food joint with home made meals and a nice lounge with free wifi. Oh ya and a huge parking lot, the Petro comes in second.

[@gailjohnson6670]

You went right by my home base in this video Menomonie Wi. There was a bad tornado that touched near Spring Valley Wi..

[@belfast479]

Thanx for the vids Jack. You give the best insight into being a true trucker.

[@johnzeindler77]

enjoy this film lovely scenery shame we missed the storm her in England we do not get many good luck Jack

[@EllieODaire]

Some quick tips for reading radar: the blobs are just rain/snow/hail. The darkest reds and purples are downpours or hailstorms. Tornadoes are spotted by looking at how the precip is moving in the storm and requires a trained eye and a lot more data than the basic apps show, so the best strategy for the average user is avoiding the small red warning cones the weather service draws for specific storms. The yellow warnings are just for wind and hail, and the big "watch" boxes they put over wide regions are just a general "be cautious and have plans to take cover if you encounter a storm" message. I'm partial to the Radarscope app myself, nice high resolution data and the warning boxes lag less than a minute behind the weather radio if you have cell signal. It's not free, but you only pay once, not monthly or yearly or anything. Hope to catch you on the road sometime! I'm good for a free dinner if you happen across me & my truck Maxwell anywhere. 😁

[@BigBallinCarHaulin]

Interesting video Jack! Right around my stomping grounds. Graduated from Alexandria Tech.'s truck driving program recently and was just in Fargo today believe it or not. Haha Perham....what a stinky town! lol Be glad you didn't spend too much time there. I do drop key auto part delivery for a company out of Wadena, if you recall cruising through there. Not much up here really. My little straight truck route keeps me busy for the time being though. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work. God bless!

[@highwayman204]

Another great one Jack... keep up the good work.

[@mikebuffing727]

It depends on how many items you have and if you are directly going from one house to the next. If not it ends up in storage and moved several times.

[@Drew_Eden]

Those fast moving clouds were awesome, they'd make a great HDR or long exposure photo, keep it up Jack :)

[@mocpehusrainey4961]

I enjoy your videos very much Jack. I am a retired driver going on a year now after a little over forty years of pushing a truck down the road from coast to coast. I get my kicks now from watching You Tube trucker channels but honestly just watch you and one or two others because you are the Professional Driver that big rig drivers are supposed to be but unfortunately don't seem to be anymore. All they do is complain and use vulgar language especially over the CB radio and all that does is confirm the general publics view of the truckers of today. Anyway keep up the good work and look forward to your next video.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Amen ...well said.

[@roodborstkalf9664]

Have you tried Trucker Rudi from Manitoba? He is a nice guy.

[@leepeach8456]

Fargo nd looks like a cool place , yet again cracking video jack , lee in England

[@theskinny111]

Jack, great work again! LOVE your videos. THANKS!

[@James-oj6ck]

Great video. I notice all of the red Volvo's now.

[@jaymathes2037]

Hey Jack great video would like to see more, more often

[@johnrambo5619]

my favorite is when they call you, you're given a door number, then while waiting for the last guy to pull out, they call again to tell you to back in, and get confused when you say you can't because of the last guy they're not done with...

[@keithkilen2652]

I don't know ow when you filmed that storm, but a tornado did hit in Northern WI in late May. It was on the ground for 83 miles, longest track in WI history.

[@davidpoole3886]

Keep on Trucking Jack Take care and be safe God Bless.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Indianajack: I think this is the closest to my neck of the woods that you've driven to me. I remember always visiting that West Acres Mall right beside the Target you were at over the years. I'm up in Winnipeg, Manitoba (4 hrs north).

[@samraedeker8002]

Thanks for the nice ride, be safe.

[@leoq2]

As always the highlight of my evening here in Sweden. Can't wait for the next one. ;)

[@javierreyes4236]

great film ones again greetings

The unseen joys of trucking

[@NTH12THSTREET]

Some of your quotes are hilarious lol Thanks for another great vid!!!

[@alejandrayalanbowman367]

We used Bekins to move our stuff from Florida to Spain and I just cannot fault them. They packed everything (wrapped and boxed) including china, glass ware and paintings and not one item was damaged.

[@mikekielczewski3500]

Love your videos...i drive for knight...keep em coming...i want to own my own truck

[@kevandrew2821]

Another great vi Jack you take it easy

[@shnimmuc]

very fine Archive

[@artist4truth]

Back alley exit. How did you like the construction getting into the Fargo flying j?

[@Ivansgarage]

Jack, I drove a truck for 30 years and waited for 15 of them years to get loaded, and unloaded. I know the feeling, hurry up and wait.

[@jasonbrock8999]

Hi jack...i enjoy the adventures of trucking...i watch everyday but wanted to know if u come thru Florence sc any? Keep up the good work and be safe bud...

[@shanerproductions]

You're right by the case tractor plant and that receiver is a real dump haha drive by it all the time.

[@rustynail5676]

With you being from central Florida, the lightning capital of the United States, that was an afternoon rain shower. Anywhere else in the country it’s a major event.

[@MartinWenzelYT]

Looks like you stopped fine at that sign or rather lack of sign.

[@nahi7824]

Hello Indiana! This video was very nice and I could see more beautiful US landscapes. I wonder the company wrote in the paper a wrong hour that you were there.does it affect you in your work? I mean discount , low rating in your working performance.,etc. Thank you very much and I hope to watch a new one soon. Take care and kind regards from Argentina!😊👍

[@tom7601]

Your engine makes the caption readout say "applause." :-)

[@johnebakeriii]

BRAVO, Jack! Another wonderful film! Despite the [intentional?] discrepancy w/the arrival times... I get the distinct impression that your stress levels have decreased by about 90% since you no longer have to chase around for an empty. AmIWrong? ;) Keep th' greasy side down and keep it 'tweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen th' ditches, Shugah!

[@garyfeser678]

John Baker I agree with that statement....Jack does look a lot less stressed....good on him

[@silveradorider01]

Great video Jack, but "Ol Red seems to be getting awfully chattery on the take off! lol

[@billchapel5248]

I know two people who lost all of their belongings in a move from a big company, now i understand how that happens.

[@williehannon4726]

good luck always Jack

[@sunevop8925]

Well done...........always smile......turn bad thing to change to be good...............

[@jimclark8957]

What truck would you buy (if money was no impediment) to replace Red?

[@donleblanc7223]

great video Jack, I would never send you hatemail LOL

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Great video again loved watching it, and you know what they say the best drivers are standing along the road commenting, so dont worry about stop sign comments pfft

[@postpost6033]

Great Video. What good is being leased to Traveloko if they don't find your freight for you? Is all their freight broker freight?

[@primitiveone1]

In an early video he tells us how he can let them get the load or he can find it himself. He chooses the latter.

[@indianajack]

Post Post What he said. :-)

[@tonyd6884]

Hi Jack, thanks for another video. Do you think living in central Florida affects your ability to get home time?

[@brandonpatton393]

1:22 is that a tornado on the far right of my screen?? (Not touched down)

[@MrBigR928]

Yeah i enjoy the long videos also! But this was a nice appetizer. Bring on the meat and potatoes video...lol.😁

[@kiddoutlawe9955]

No tornadoes in Wisconsin in decades dude I live In wisconsin I'm a truck driver as well, you were safe

[@Rick_Dunaway]

Nestle water, Shearer's snack food, and may I add.... TEXAS PIPE! "World's largest Flatbed holding yard"

[@bobl78]

did you paint Old Red ? I remember there were some white spots at the front and they seem to be gone now

[@JET13B]

Hey why is it that in Australia, the rear wheels of the trailer are right at the back of the trailer and in America they seem to be further in?

[@danielpaulus382]

JET13B some states have bridge laws. then there are axle weight. steers-12000 lbs. drives- 34000 lb. tandems-34000 lbs.

[@EllieODaire]

Many American states have highways and roads designed when the longest trailers you could pull without permits were only 40 to 48 feet long. Having axles that far forward allows the 53 footers we pull now to maneuver similarly to the trailers that were around when much of the infrastructure was built, albeit with more tail swing to worry about. Different states have different rules about the gap from tractor axles to trailer axles, but they can also be slid all the way to the rear for loading and unloading.

[@MartyChristianSoldier]

Simple, make laws that everyone can't keep up with that way they keep the money wheel turning.

[@oneshine8072]

Your in my neck of Fargo welcome to south fargo

[@happypappy6371]

The brokers are always, "I'll get right back to you." ( hours later.) And then they want us to do it yesterday.

[@frogman6887]

You said that you worry about nails in this video. How often does a nail in a tire occur for you?

[@stephenhunter70]

The weather that you had wasn't it better than what was forecast?

[@wingsaseagles1]

How did you do with your HOS when you were held up for 4 hrs at your p/u plus the driving time getting there and the delivery you did b/4 you went to p/u? Are you running on a ELD?

[@TravelAndFood664]

Good video.

[@tom7601]

Was that the Beatles' "Long and Winding Road?" :-)

[@richardbekkers6789]

[@danielkennedy1524]

[@MartinWenzelYT]

You've been running across Wisconsin quite a bit lately. How do you like it?

[@YaBoyBaby916]

Well done

[@eriksiple4961]

that Lily truck at the first truck stop I probably loaded...lol

[@samtaylor5306]

Good job IJT.

[@paulferguson2574]

Hey, you ran that stop si....never mind

[@petejit]

I never stop at a stop sine if there is nothing coming.

[@bendenny4860]

Hey buddy how's it going at travel loco?

[@noregretsracing4857]

what year is his volvo?

[@indianajack]

2008

[@noregretsracing4857]

indianajacktrucker oh thanks, I knew it was around there, the new ones look really good do u have any plans to get a new one

[@marcosperez9846]

Jack in Texas when leaving a private parking lot entering a public road you are required to come to a complete stop even if there is no stop sign. Better to be safe rather then sorry. Don't give them a reason to pull you over.

[@shanerproductions]

My home town!

[@stevejones6242]

hey there Indiana how would a person go about getting some of your Merchandise? I am enterested in getting a cap.

[@indianajack]

Thanks Steve. I do have T-shirts offered from time to time but no hats. Keep watching and I will try to get some hats since many people ask for them.

[@mantroid]

Sorry about your bad experience at Shearer's. Most people up here aren't such jerks.

[@The101Point1]

the fast lane truck music

[@firstwest2474]

they actually knocked it down and put in a brand new building

[@rigut229]

HEY, WAS THAT RUDI AT 17 min?

[@l.w.bryant1979]

that does look like Rudi's truck. never know though since his company seems to have all volvos and they look alike...just got to try catch his truck number.

[@woychck4]

How about a battery operated leaf blower, might help make it easier faster.

[@natas6307]

How you liking Traveloko so far, Jack?. You making better money there?

[@indianajack]

If you own your own truck it is a great place to drive. No complaints from me.

[@weialles_weinix3900]

indianajacktrucker Good for your wallet ;)

[@gailjohnson6670]

Who are you leased to?

[@indianajack]

+Gail JOHNSON traveloko

[@gailjohnson6670]

Don't forget Jack, therse storms are some thee hundred miles wide and may be even longer ~ you may be impacted by a tornado hundreds of miles away.

[@deadfreightwest5956]
