Getting Home

[@jbot6902]

That was a beautifull little town. Thanks for the amazing videos Jack. Hope you have a wonderfull festive season. God bless you and your family.

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

I enjoy peeking in from time to time, Jack. You're a hard working man and the videos are well done. Be safe out there!

[@JOHNMORIN100]

Wow Jack that looks like an old times city thanks for taking us along we still pray for Old Red and you glad all is going great.

[@frritter8253]

Super video Jack, thank you for having us along...and for introducing us to Kyle!

[@tomallis3954]

Nice Fall ride on the back roads. Excellent Job once again and it was nice to meet the voice behind you. Well done Kyle.

[@rwarcher013]

[@samraedeker8002]

That is a hard place to get backed into. Thanks for the ride and heads up on the technical side. Be safe.

[@garyallen7868]

Thanks for sharing Jack and If we don't hear from you before Christmas, Merry Christmas!

[@pandora3701]

Jack your the king of trucking videos. I also a otr trucker and no way I can edit and post video on KZbin like you do because when I park I sleep out cold. My point is thank you so much jack.

[@tomswinburn1778]

I remember receivers like that one in Nashville Ark. where you needed to be a magician rather than a truck driver to spot your rig. I was better than average at backing a 53' trailer, but some places were designed by folks that didn't have the first clue. Or the location was just flat wrong. But I was careful, never got in too big a rush, and managed to end my trucking career without a disaster. Like a carpenter that measures twice and cuts once I looked twice and backed once. Narrow country roads another of my non favorite things. It looks like that could have been a trip you'd rather not have had. They happen. Durnit.

[@spaceman455]

Hey Jack you are a great driver! I really appreciate the way you explain the trucking world to people and its refreshing not to hear the swearing that a lot of truckers do. Ive been driving semi for 39+ years and its still fun! you are definitely a good example of what a professional driver should be. Do you ever get through Tulare, California ? I used to haul milk from Minnesota to California back and forth for years I love California but could never talk my wife into staying out there for more than a few weeks at a time. keep that rig of yours between the ditches and may the wind always be at your back..... God Bless

[@mgarvin681]

Me and my family stayed in Nashville earlier this summer. We went to the diamond mine and dug in the mud. All backwoods and some tall tall trees. While there I met a trucker and asked him "do you know Indiana Jack? He is a real good man and makes the best videos" he said he would check it out.

[@wb6she]

Love those old towns Jack, thanks for sharing!

[@العالملكم]

I from Iraq . I love truck driving / Greetings to you

[@SteelyPaw]

Up-date every few days when convenient , then you probably never that have problem again. Also, I like looking in your mirror when you are backing up opposed to the camera looking back...

[@benwatters9240]

Enjoyed the video. Seeing towns like this reminded me of growing up in Tuscumbia, AL. They all look the same LOL.

[@josephlineberger443]

A very Merry Christmas to you & Yours Jack!

[@ronaldquint]

Kyle, Great job on the video editing! Nice B-roll information on the sliding tandems and Western Auto image. Also, like both your map story and fast forwards. You are a great storyteller!

[@waylonwolfe627]

Nice little videos by mr.indina Jack be safe out there on your adventure from Paris Texas God bless you and hope you have a merry Christmas to

[@Wiscotac]

Nice video regarding anywhere USA. Happy holidays to all the I.J.T. production crew.

[@joeharris5851]

Really like camera view at the end of video. Great work!!

[@marvinelder3828]

I remember Western Auto from when I was growing up. From what I remember they were more than just car parts. They seemed to go with small towns. Probably couldn't compete with everybody else as time went on. Really like your videos. That's my main priority come the weekend is to see your new stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Always look for updates when on a long break it saves trouble, nice video loved watching it.

[@indianajack]

+rolf sinkgraven thanks, I will have a whole bunch coming out at Christmas

[@vernafairleigh7566]

Thanks for explaining about blind side backing and tandems. I had heard of both but didn't understand the terms. Good vlog. JJ (aka Verna)

[@apocyldoomer]

Verna Fairleigh Jack cannot blind side for shit, although, only if you have to is the general rule, harder to do in a sleeper cab..

[@rumblinalong]

Great vlog thanks for the journey back in time in downtown Nashville Arkansas. It was either early in the morning or a ghost town 😎

[@indianajack]

+Shawn Spencer it was both. LOL

[@Houndini]

I been mechanic 37 years, Jack so worried about nails stop @ a real good welding supply store and buy a good name brand magnet that can & will use a string or rope, More money buys stronger better magnet.. Cheapest I bought one week ago for $17.oo. Just walk around holding it close to ground with rope where you think metal or nails are in your path, and it should pick up 99% of them plus whole lot of any other small metal. I am sure I will get smart ass reply's as before but this works!! better than buying tires. You might look strange doing that but beats buying new tires.

[@chetgerber6401]

wv171 great idea. Like some yard jockey trucks have on front. Big magnet hanging below bumper.

[@robertjackson4121]

That yard jockey a hard working man. Would tell him clean yard or unload with a pallet Jack or pay for tire.

[@eugenesanderlin3043]

Good show Jack as usual, stay safe up in the north expecting first snow,South ,NJ.

[@kevandrew2821]

Another first class movie Jack have a great holiday from us back in the UK

[@sandie062985]

Jack I hope you make it home and you get some rest oh bye the A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@davespeer6569]

Good video Jack. I believe western auto was bought out by sears, quite a few years ago now. Another thing I remember them selling was guns. I think models like savage, basically cheaper firearms. We used to buy our .22 ammunition there too. Safe travels home and merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and family

[@apocyldoomer]

I've backed into loading docks like that cement thing, mostly @ John Deere dealerships, easy peezy. I take it you cannot blind side so well, I know, only if you have to..

[@stevenconnolly7907]

Many states require kingpin settings on sliding tandems due to weight concerns on bridges, 40' from kingpin to center of axle group is common. As Wal-Mart began its exponential market expansion in the 1970s mid sized speciality retailers, particularly in the Midwest simply disappeared. Hot Springs, Arkansas is an area rich in history dating from the Civil War to the hot springs themselves great for arthritis and just rejuvenation. North Little Rock has some good truck stops I-40 exit 161 Petro last time I was there was stationed police presence in Pilot across the street. Think it's unusual especially with density of truck stops in this area.

[@mikesparks3216]

Very nice video. We still have a Western Auto branded store between Midland and Odessa, TX. Right next to a Car Quest place, all owned by Advanced Auto Parts. Funnily, if you google the Car Quest store, it shows it and asks if you want to shop for parts there online. Hit OK and it directs you to Advanced stores with no option for the CQ store you wanted lol. Not really way to increase sales at the CQ store lol. Needless to say, I got my parts at another company. Good trucking!

[@rkdob]

two week marathon i think i'm up to date... what a ride lol

[@jimsmith9931]

Your the best Indiana Jack! Great job buddy.

[@MaestroDawg65]

My town in Bedford, Virginia had a Western Auto some 30 years ago. The associates in their would sometimes call up my Dad for help because Dad was a locally recognized mechanic.

[@thomasbrouckaert1446]

Hey Mal. Great editing of the video!

[@norwichcornerschristianchu2235]

Hey Jack, thanks for including the voice over guy "Kyle" at the end, I've always wondered who that voice belonged to that narrates your videos, God bless you and ole Red

[@PD4GB]

I sure miss your movies, are you still on a holiday ? Greetings from Holland and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

[@greggestok3100]

As always a very enjoyable video Jack!

[@jasonstacy5587]

There's also a Nashville, NC. I delivered a load of burley tobacco there the other day.

[@danielbevier5813]

Another great video, Jack. My hat is off to you for getting into some of those hole-in-the wall little southern towns. Reminds me of when I used to work in western-Kentucky. I am not 100% sure, but I believe that Western Auto is now known as AutoZone or maybe it is Advance Auto Parts. In any event, they have (or had?) a huge distribution center off of Route 42 near Delaware, Ohio. I haven't been there in years, but distinctly remember when it was a Western Auto distribution center. I think that Jeg's now has a distribution center about a mile or two away from them. You are the best. Please keep up the great work!!!

[@jeffreygoggin8]

wikapedia says as much

[@Talisman-tb6vw]

If you want to get good at backing up - get a really long truck and a really short trailer :P

[@frankswain9483]

Yeah, but then your head will be sayin', "WTF was I thinkin???"

+sojutime that would be awesome to see and actually go in one of those apartments.

[@stephenhunter70]

I just Googled it, Sold to Sears who possibly "fixed it" before selling it to Advance Auto Parts!

[@budburr66]

Most Western Auto condos are $150,000 to $500,000 with a few in the million dollar range.

[@mAtchew91]

Hey Jack. Ever thought about having another camera inside your cab on a tripod, kinda like how JBG Travels does? It would be cool to see inside your truck while you shift and whatnot. Thanks a lot. Love your videos. Happy holidays.

[@dejonsmall9886]

Jack, love your vids. I was born in Arkansas. Glad as hell I don't live there now...

[@ChristopherHelgerson]

in reality Jack, when your ELD stops working, you are to start paper logging immediately...so yes, you should always have current logs to show DOT if and when they request them... that is why every truck is required to have paper logs at all times in your truck...

[@chetgerber6401]

Chris Helgerson that's easy to say..back up with paper logs. Previous 7 days, how long it took to drive all those places, how long you were there, when you started every morning, and when you signed off for the day. If I understand the rule, that may take 2 hours to figure all that out. Trucking is so different every day.

[@ChristopherHelgerson]

you have to start paper logs while your ELD is down, it's the law...as far as his previous logs, he should be backing them up to a storage device...you'll need them for the IRS if they decide to get nosy too..

Hi Kyle :) Happy to know Jack reads my comments :)

[@nickdoney3530]

Our Western Auto when I was a kid was like a hardware, sporting goods, tools, paint and miscellaneous dry goods store. They may have had some auto stuff but not a parts store per sae.

[@samrugtiv5563]

morning Jack, sam here good to hear from you. r

[@bob91024]

If you have problems with your iPad/iPhone do this, hold down the home button and the on/off button. Wait until the screen goes black and the you see the Apple logo let them go. This is a hard reset you should do this every time you upgrade the operating software or have a issue with the iPad/iPhone. If you are using a Mac after every software update restart for when you have any issue. Restart, when you hear the tone press command-option-p-r. After five tones let them go. This solves most issues.

[@jberg411]

Western Auto was started in 1909 by Mr Pepperdine in Kansas city, MO. Same guy that started Pepperdine University. Then another company bought them in the 60's. Then Sears bought them. Sears sold them in 1998 to Advanced Auto Parts. Some stores still use Western Auto name illegally but Advanced Auto has never cared to do anything about it.

[@johnmagill3072]

Love your videos Jack. But it looks like I wont be driving again myself. Once you leave the industry for awhile like I did. It was for personal health and family issues. It's basically impossible to get back in. All Companies want is someone with a lot of experience , or someone right out of school. Have had my CDL 10 year's. But haven't driven for 5 going on 6 now. So no one will touch me. Would love to get back in. But it's clear it wont happen. I guess once my med card expires in late Jan. I'll Just go back to a Class-A. Good luck, and be safe.

[@rogerb4436]

Hows your Trailer search going? Could you not buy a trailer off the company your leasing your current trailer from? Maybe they are selling some older stock because they have upgrade and since you already are a customer you might get a deal? Just a thought.

[@corymcdermott5096]

Little late on this, but....Western Auto was bought out by Advance Auto Parts. Subsequently, 99% of the Western Auto stores in the U.S. were closed, or converted to Advance Auto locations. A VERY limited number of U.S. locations were allowed to stay open as independent franchises. Yet, in Puerto Rico and the Philippines, the Western Auto stores have remained (as of 2016).
