[@deborahwalker6354]

Jack, I just want you to know that my former truck-driving husband Monte (the original Three Log Book Monte) really enjoyed watching your videos, up until the week of his death on Saturday. He had an aggressive and painful cancer, but your videos were a welcome distraction, providing us moments of normalcy and comedy. I enjoyed watching with him and learning about his truck-driving days. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. Keep on truckin'

[@Richie92191]

Hi deborah. I'm here 2 years later and I'm hoping your living life happily now. It's a shame jack didnt respond to you, but just so you know, it was a precious message you left. Best wishes from the uk x

[@robertmcintosh6042]

The quality of your films is second to none Jack! You’ve got the mix that makes up the vlog exactly right now.. Congrats to you.. Now.. pls put us out of our misery and tell us the real story behind ol red no longer playing the lead role alongside IJ in the AiT show!

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Great video Jack, and i hope those potatoes nicely stay where they belong and dont fall in your arms when you open the doors.

[@bikerut]

I was sitting in that TA in Cheyenne when I got the call notifying me I was going to be deployed. OH the memories. Thanks for the videos Jack, I try to watch them all.

[@chrisr3847]

Hello Jack, here is Chris. I'll just write it in here and tell you what I want to tell you. I've been watching your show on KZbin for 3 weeks now and subscribed to it right after the first episode. My father was also a truck driver like you, and as a kid, I've been there a lot. What I wanted to tell you is that I like to watch your show and watch it daily and that you do it very well. Especially very informative. My sister and family live in Columbus Ohio where I will visit again next year but I would like to go on a trip from Los Angeles to Ohio. Keep on Trucking drive carefully .... Chris

[@flyfliker]

Great video as always!

[@kpdvw]

Wyoming + I-80 westbound you can count on a persistent head wind it does not suck; it blows.... keep these great videos coming and all the best Mr. Indiana Jack! Klaus P from Holladay, Ut.

[@2500mike]

I make a comment about missing the western run videos, then there you are. You really go out of your way to make your viewers happy haha Safe travels

[@nofneptune]

Love your videos. Would like to see what you do in the morning to get ready to get on the road. THX

[@The3ringer3]

im enjoying the trip in my trucking days i never went north of I-80 very much

[@Surfishy888]

Yes, but when they pack all the way back to the doors, there's no space left over getting into the truck to position or put straps in there and a lot of times there's nothing left back at the doors to attach the straps to. So the only left to do is to be able to put bar braces across the back BEFORE you pull away from the dock and BEFORE it is sealed. If you're dealing with a no-hands-on load, you don't know it's packed that way until you unseal it and open the doors, and some shippers don't allow you on the dock area to supervise and have access to the load anyway.

[@deanpinnt3987]

Great video Jack, you are always laid back. Good to see someone who enjoys there job.

[@largolarry]

I enjoy watching you because my late father owned a Bulldog and mostly drove a tanker locally so not long haul like you. He would been 98 if still alive so I am old as dirt.

[@josephlineberger443]

I drove for an outfit like Sysco many moons ago. Lasted 6 months, had to dodge scales, fingerprint everything. Those guys earn every dime they make!

[@Steven1krohne]

Love the Western trips! Thanks Jack!

[@MrTimkalla]

Nice video Jack , I love it , Nostalgia ,long ago when I was on the road my self , now I retired, keep it up , good job

[@brianboys9015]

Love your work.

[@FRRitter]

Thanks for including us Jack, another super video. Safe travels sir!

[@marydwire1033]

Great video Jack, thanks for sharing ! Safe travels .

[@connork5339]

Hey Indiana Jack. As a former US resident but now living in Portugal, I appreciate seeing North American tractor trailers as well as the trucks common to Europe. Thanks for the pics of the Scanias and Volvos. Be safe and thanks for letting me ride along.

[@tomallis3954]

Thank you for the ride out west Jack. Looking forward to the rest of the trip. Also, can't wait to see Old Red again after her make up. I like how smooth that lease truck your driving rolls. The auto transmission is going to spoil you. Be safe as usual.

[@floridabb]

Love the sound of that diesel.

[@onielboxter1105]

Greetings from Jamaica. Enjoy your videos

[@davetate2932]

love the videos Jack i have been subscribed for a while and always enjoy the chats you have with us and the country you show us. retired several years ago from trucking owner operator still miss it guess we always will but health said it was time to stop truck safe my friend you are a credit to drivers everywhere

[@killmouseky4740]

Good thing you gave that Swift a wide berth!

[@RyanDoonan]

That was amazing and Utah looked really pretty and saw a couple of CR England trucks everyday looking at companies

[@danielbevier5813]

Thanks to watching your previous videos, I recognized some Moe's Breakfast Bowls in my local grocery store and tried them out. Very tasty. I see why you like eating there so much. Keep up the outstanding work!!!

[@danielbevier5813]

Yet another excellent video!!! I love living in the West. I spent the majority of my life in Ohio, PA and Indiana. Loved them all, but once I moved out West, I cannot imagine living anywhere else for the rest of my time on this planet. I know that you are not a big-time burger guy, but the next time you are in Ogden, take a cab to the Burger Bar. You will not regret it. Excellent cheeseburgers and milk shakes. I have been to the Flying J you stayed at in Ogden; I believe that it used to be a Bossleman's Truck Stop. Keep up the great work!!! You are by far the best on the internet.

[@Torsee]

Gorgeous color coordinated KW flatbed! Nice film Jack as always!

[@Torsee]

SYSCO driver should have the boss open the trailer, right at the yard. Dumbass loaders! Someone dislikes the driver.

[@jipidou21]

Thanks man, appreciated

[@chadone9]

Anything bad said about Sysco is agreed to by me based on my 12 years trucking. Worst company I ever dealt with as an OTR driver. I will likely have nightmares tonight. Really enjoy your channel Indiana Jack!

[@dennismckown3873]

oh thank god, they are using the light pallets, those blue ones add more wt. to your load. i always hated the blue pallets.

[@robquinn3584]

I look forward to and enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@kevandrew2821]

great film Jack thank you

[@charlesrichardson1512]

Awesome video Indiana Jack

[@larrylegg4019]

Great video.

[@bradsmith7219]

Love seeing these videos Jack. I'm an Arizona boy living overseas, and your videos take me back to American road trips. I'm always happy to see that email notification that you have a new video, keep it up!

[@Rock-Bottem1982]

I drive OTR(CDL A) only in the North East, and my company is based out of Maine, so the majority of the runs I do are from Maine to Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and all other surrounding states. The most common routes I drive is I78, I80, I81, I83, I87 I90, I91 I95 I278, I287, I290, I295, I395, I476, I684 etc...I haul a lot of Nestle/Poland spring water(most loads being 46,000lbs), many pepsi loads, Snapple, sappi(rolls of paper) etc, and all those loads are at least 43,000lbs. So with that being said, most know that the North East has the WORST traffic, construction projects, and routes America has(along with all the tolls). Many OTR drivers avoid the North East like a plague, and many refuse to drive up this way at all, not to mention the lack of places to shut down after your shift, and the truck stops and rest areas that we do have, finding legal parking past 1700hr is a challenge(if not impossible) period. With all this, we have the Appalachian mountains to deal with too, so with us being nearly maxed out at 80,000lbs GVW, the horrible traffic, constant construction zones, accidents that take 8 hours to travel 20 miles(on a weekly bases), being cut off by hundreds of drivers in a few short hours, etc...Driving anywhere else in the country besides the North East is a cake walk :)

[@kenbrohere]

Whats up, GB from the Netherlands.

[@jackterry7664]

You can always count on a cross wind crossing Wyo. Wind is usually from the North.

[@MrBigR928]

That was a Large Car W900L moving slow in the parking lot. But you saw he walked off from you when he got on the super slab right? Its what we do😁. But i used to work for Sysco back in New Orleans and yes the trucks are loaded just like that! My first stop restaurant uses a lot of bbq sauce and they would always have those 5gallon buckets stack up too darn high along with all the other stuff. I would just crack the door and try to save the product but most times i couldn't and the stuff would fall out. And yes it's back breaking work! I was in the best shape after six months but i left and started driving tri-axle dump trailer. Maaaan you can keep that dang handtruck!😝

[@vivalulious]

Beautiful country!!,😎

[@dennismckown3873]

until i worked in a warehouse that supplied fresh fruit and veggies to stores and eateries, i never knew Florida grew potatoes. , that you're taking potatoes to Florida, but Idaho spuds are still famous, world-wide, and some potatoes are really huge. :) Eastern Idaho grows more potatoes, than the west. West Idaho, grows a lot of sugar beets, as does the East. too bad you couldn't take I-15N to Montana, you would of loved to see the "high country". the elevation might be worrisome for you "flat-landers" though. :)

[@chrisbryant8043]

I drive for US Xpress on a dedicated Dollar Tree account. Believe you me, the struggle is real. Avalanches are an every day occurrence. Sometimes it take an hour just to pick up the mess just so I can finish backing to a door.

[@milkman1944]

Thanks for the good lookin' truck right at the end of the video

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Once again another great video beautiful country out there have a safe trip back to Florida

[@WrenchingWolf92]

I've definantly had a few loads from Home Depot, and Lowes try to take me out when I open the door. Once was a Dyson, the other was a stack of patio tables.

[@SteelyPaw]

Old Red's engine is sounding very good, and it's nice hearing it, but rest assured I hear your narration very clear & precise. ........ You gave me a new saying when things are all messed up "what a cluster truck this is" as I do my best not to swear. ........ Europe has some pretty cool cab-overs, don't you agree? Your advertiser or intermission driver has a really nice Volvo. ............ I think they got carried away when they designed the 2018 International Lone Star, I believe it hurt their sales as I saw a blue one thru your windshield with that pointy "V" front end. I think the front end is ugly to despite how much chrome is on it. Normally I like International trucks, for example I like the Prostar. .......... Oddly, I have a Logitech track ball mouse just like yours, I love it. ......... Since I live alone, I often watch a video while I eat supper, this time, thru the magic of your cam, this is the first time we ate together, but you were at Denny’s and I was at home, LoL. ............ Speculating, would reducing your speed help your fuel millage when you have a strong head-wind as long as you are not late for your appointment? ............I would put a 1/8 inch thick piece of plywood against the load, then hold the plywood with a load-bar or two to keep the load falling out. Is a shame how they loaded that drivers trailer ............. Is always nice riding with you Jack, stay safe, and God Bless.

[@uweritter5881]

Should come up to Thermopolis, Wyoming and soak in the natural hot springs. I live in Wyoming

[@froggie6608]

When I was a driver, I found the constant shifting gears and clutching, especially in heavy traffic to be exhausting. Having an automatic transmission must greatly reduce driver fatigue.

[@dennismckown3873]

Indiana Jack, how'd you like going up and down the 2 Sisters, in Wyoming? if you took I-80 at the 80-84 split into Salt Lake City., you went down the 3rd Sister. going down that one, if light, not so bad, heavy, jakes and 25 mph or less. i avoid going up it, if i can.

[@samraedeker8002]

Nice ride in a nice state. Be safe!

[@bobmonde4684]

Shots of the Flag in the videos around the 4th much appreciated Jack!

[@dennismckown3873]

Indiana Jack how'd you like all the empty spaces, idaho and Wyoming? lol

[@Houndini]

How The Swede do on Rocky mts? Engine Brake?? I am suspecting Jack trying out that truck maybe buy?? I could be wrong? But Jack very tight lip will not tell his friends nothing..

[@stephenhunter70]

I think they stretch rap the pallets here. Some operators user roller- doors instead of the more normal doors, probably for that reason.

[@ONYAMate]

Good on ya mate.

[@SuperSuperslut]

Please do a review on the new Volvo.

[@leonardburns1780]

good video jack thanks for sharing ehhh

[@Bama_RTMF]

Jack, is that the same Volvo Ike and little guy had when they were at traveloko? Sure looks like it

[@abdellah070]

I like your videos indiana jack and i am also from the netherlands :)

[@Krieghandt]

I love the west. I'm presently stuck in TX, and can't figure out why you have a home base in FL :) I'll be heading out west soonest tho.

[@raymondgoff9983]

I grow up in Rawlins, Wyoming

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir Indianajack !!!!!! Aint Brokers a BIG Pain ?????? Spend all your hrs. to get them to look good for their customers !!!!! No fun for you !!!!! Have a good trip to FL..... !!!!!! Enjoy the videos & keep them coming !!!!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!!!!!!

[@leeakers4525]

Out of hours in Ogden pulling a reefer. That is exactly why the ELD was instituted. Reefer operators were forced to go too far, to fast, in too short a time. Now the driver can get some rest. I'm sure it's tough on Owner Operators bottom line, but there are sure a lot fewer rigs upside down in the ditch. There are some things that need to be fixed, but as an employed driver, it is in fact, a life saver.

[@abdurasak99]

I remember driving on winter time 2018 I was light and wind very strong 40 mph I had to shutdown

[@billchapel5248]

Jack, just a suggestion, could you please mention the date of doing your videos, I just find it hard to think it could be 30 degrees anywhere in the country, when it seems everyone has been in the 90s lately.

[@deckerhand12]

willibill c there is still snow I parts of America right now Montana is was snowing July 2

[@leonardovalladares4315]

Amazon floor load the trailers all the way in the back open the door to dock and a quarter of the load falls out

[@davidfarrell7318]

I miss old red she sounded better will she ever be back jack?

[@josephlineberger443]

Great video as always. Did you run the reefer with the potatoes? I loaded loose potatoes in the winter and had to run the heat cycle so the bottom layer wouldn't freeze. Drove for an outfit in NC like Cisco. Those guys earn every penny. Always overweight and dodging scales. I lasted six months. Happy trails!

[@Surfishy888]

You know what my dispatchers would say about that weigh station? "There weren't any truck stops with scales nearby?" My question to you is "Wasn't that a truck stop(s) you came from and passed enroute to that weigh station?

[@indianajack]

I'm pretty sure I weighed at the Love's there. I would have to watch this video again.

[@scy.9260]

Hey jack, are you going to continue "Life is a journey" ?

[@pizzasubs]

that was a very interesting way the first part of the video was filmed.....forgot what that was called.......

[@bettygoodson3983]

Sweet Man Indiana Jack

[@amunderdog]

Did I ever tell you about the genius in the office took a contract for 48,000# loads. They had notices on the load print to arrive low on fuel. It was way out in the sticks of Arizona. No one would ever take a full load there.

[@amunderdog]

You really do not know? At the big companies they have management. One guy or team in there is responsible for load contracts, I guess like a salesmen. This helps the company with fleet movements and flow.

[@joshuamarshall6753]

Hey Jack what's up with the new truck did you get rid of old red

[@pitbulltrucker783]

Joshua Marshall no he still has old red said he is going to do some work on it and at some point sell it

[@jenniferwhite6089]

I work for millwright company doing field maintenance have to go to carrier company to fix the conveyor and I look in the van's and yea the boxes drop from the top and land on the ground or the put tv on the top and they come down it is poorly stick they now use plywood to block the door found doing that before trail back up to the dock they seem to like it better this do not have to pick boxes up off the ground in rain or snow cargo, net works to they still put plywood before the net

[@kenbrohere]

It would only happen to me one time.

[@vernafairleigh7566]

Good to see some footage of Wyo. Actually Interstate 80 is rather boring so say the least. The good parts of Wyo. are North. Being on Interstate 80 and saying you've been in Wyo. is like being in New York City and saying you've been in New York State. Love seeing your vlogs.
