Route 66 Kicks

Did you ever wonder where furniture in a motel room comes from? Follow Indiana Jack as he picks up a load of motel furniture from a furniture warehouse and delivers it to a tourist hotel on historic Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico.

[@JoneszsRides]

Did the route 66 trip in 2016 on motorcycle from Chicago to Santa Monica Ca.The best trip ever. Stayed at all the old motels and ate at all the old diners

[@genkatqltr737]

Watched the I40 video before this one. Traveled "Root" 66 throughout my childhood (50's-60's), then later I40 to go to Indiana to visit all my relatives. Many generations of Hoosiers, I'm the only native-born Californian. Those trips to "go see Grandma" were the highlight of my early years. Things sure have changed, the roads, especially Route 66, from the narrow 2-lane, wandering, "dipsy-doodle" road we drove on. Flagstaff was always a beautiful blessing after the terrible heat of the Mojave Desert. No AC in cars back then, many of us slept by the side of the road back then. Me in the front seat, Mom in back, Dad on a cot beside the car. Budget accommodations!

I remember my family staying at Black Bart's RV Park, right across from Little America, in June of 1975. Me and my brother sat up half the night listening to the truckers on CB. Glad to see it's all still there, 40 years later.

Great video Jack. The travelling reminds me of a trip I did in 2013. An Australian driving across the US, but in a Mustang, not a truck. Got done in Texas for not changing lanes for the police on the side of the road. Live and learn. I never did that again and I believe it is a great law. Should be enforced here on Aussie roads. I did 10000 miles in 4 weeks. American truckers, from my experience, are very considerate drivers and nice blokes. Had a beer or two with a few on my travels. Keep safe and keep the videos coming

Hello Jack from Kansas City. We have lots of Quick Trips here in KC. They are the very best at what they do. Let me tell you they have it down, from how clean the store is to the drinks to the prices and the service. It is the place to go. The employee's are very friendly and never fail to make to feel welcome. I do not work for them or have shares in the company. I just like the way they operate. Thanks for the great videos always look forward to what you are going to post next...

[@ernestoybarra8670]

These videos remind me of when I use to go with my dad trucking. I was just a little boy. I remember going from coast to coast. Thank You +indianajacktrucker for bringing back some solid memories. Great videos and awesome routes you take. Two thumbs up!!!!

[@Minalover100]

Ice Road Truckers is really a good show. Thanks for the shout-out, Jack!

[@abushua]

I'm a retired trucker....due to health reasons.....and have been for the past 10 years. I do look forward to your videos....a sense of nostalgia. Thanks.

[@joewilson3118]

I am retired also 25 years driving

[@tomallen9978]

Thanks Jack for making these videos. They bring me back lots of good memories about America. As I go along watching, I'll let you know a little more about myself. And this episode in particular was one of my favorites. The West is like a magical place!!!

[@day26cu]

You should of got the name of the manager at The QT and written a little letter of appreciation for the way he handled you with good service... HR managers love that kind of stuff for there employees... keep up the great work you're a great guy. Ps I'm from the Cayman Islands and I'm a dump truck owner operator and I watch your show all the time

[@chromag33]

I like to to see all the different parts of the country and the different loads you seem to get. Thanks Jack

[@geranimojess]

Hi Jack...Just to let you know that your living the Dream of a lot of your viewers including myself...keep it up...another great Video...

[@debtigger57]

Thanks for the ride along..... Have a great day Indiana Jack ;)

[@tomallis3954]

Really nice trip Professor. I love the west and my memories of Old Rt.66, as a kid with my folks, up until a few years ago, are priceless. Thanks for sharing the trip and your memories. You are appreciated for what you do as a trucker and for sharing your adventures.

[@bodarville7860]

The company calls to make sure he won't be late he gets there they didn't know he was coming. This is real trucking stuff folks happens all the time.

[@shawnsnyder8876]

Bo Darville that's the old hurry up and wait right there

[@traveller9625]

Jack you make the absolute best videos on KZbin about trucking, quality and content are great. Please keep it up. I drive a 5th wheel camper and voluntary follow the rules of CDL drivers. I wish more four wheelers would see this type of information so they would understand what big rigs are about

[@biggyk87]

You were pretty calm about the miscommunication. Glad you were allowed to drop the trailer there.

[@rugerfan2036]

Another great video. I look forward to every video. It's awesome being on all your adventures. You rock at commentating what it's like to be a trucker. Take care and be safe

[@javicolt]

Great video, Jack!! Beautiful roads and scenarios! From european driver!

[@Tom-cy5em]

Thanks for the ride Jack always a great adventure for sure. Regards Tom

[@truckerwannabe7636]

Good one ...... beautiful scenery. Thx for the ride!

[@jetteroheller96]

Thanks for sharing your journeys! Some of the scenery reminded me of my trip out to the Grand Canyon

[@tommyblackburn5808]

Hey Jack,,I like the camera shot you have on the left rear in front of the tire. thanks for the view.

[@jips752]

One of your best Jack!! I remember very well having to back into crazy places.. Good job!!

[@ezequielneto2464]

Very good driver...good trip...delicious food. SUPER !!!!!

[@willbest1547]

QT must have the same customer service ethos as Chik-fil-A. Consistently good service, I use them as much as possible. Thanks for the video!

[@eelcovdzalm9466]

Hi Jack, thanks for riding along , love your videos, greetings from Netherlands

[@vladeduard786]

[@vladeduard786]

+indianajacktrucker Hahahah yes ! All the others are fake

[@logancurry3835]

+indianajacktrucker on a "good" everything going smooth kind of day how many miles do you put on your rig?

[@gjman1972]

I stop at Truck Stops sometimes even in a 4 wheeler so I hope I run into you someday so I can shake your hand and take a picture with you cause you make great videos. Thanks Jack

[@joetiller1031]

Great trip thanks for taking me with you never been to that part of the country great backing job in a bad spot.

[@Broasmex]

i enjoy your videos Jack thanks for the adventures and FYI when coming to Phoenix do not take loads from Upper Crust Bakery they will keep you there waiting all day. i know because I used to work there in shiping and receiving and the way they do things there just does not allow for fast or efficient loading. Thought i'd let you know that.

[@whowonthatballgame4298]

Good backing up Jack. A shout out to the man who stopped traffic, and like you sharing about getting the free sandwich .

[@alecamal]

my neck of the woods,kinda cool to see familiar areas on one of your vids,I live 90 miles east of Gallup on 491(old 666)town called Farmington.Go all over the reservation pulling mobile homes for the Navajos.I guess I am a little spoiled as I always have an escort driver to throw the yellows on and block traffic for me,surprising how many people who are in a hurry to go about their daily business will just wait patiently as I completely mess up their timeline backing a 16 x 80 house into a tight lot and then give me a wave as they finally pass.

[@davidschneider9264]

Always great. Your laugh at the end always cracks me up.

[@whitedovesings828]

I'm loving your videos (just discovered them this weekend) You offer a great "Reality" show! I'm thinking about trucking as a new career in 2016....I think I would love the "science and art" of trucking as well as seeing the country and seeing what others do to keep the USA in motion.

[@PhillipMonier]

Sched. for 19th and 20th! hahaha Way to keep your cool as always. You rock!

[@boboskee]

Hi Jack (don't yell that in an airport); we're new subscribers, so forgive comments on your 2-3 year old videos. We stayed in Little America Hotel 3 years ago, and walked every day through the truck stop looking at the many trucks, and loved the store. Everything you could think of, and the short order cook was fantastic. We were there again last year around Christmas and were very disappointed in the remodel of their truck stop store. Now it's nothing but a tourist trap now. Keep up the good driving, we enjoy your videos. Bob and Kathy in commiefornia

[@zoelusiera1010]

Fantastic ! thank you

[@waynewarrior66smith]

thanks jack....another great journey....from england

[@hitecpete]

that was a very enjoyable ride, thanks Jack.

[@renem1109]

IRT one ofmy favorite shows!

[@OliverMargetin]

Hello Jack, Ive been out here 25 yrs, another 5 and I retire. I really enjoy your videos. Keep the greasy side down!!

[@jmtckr]

Thanks for the ride-along Jack! Great vid as usual. Drive safely.

[@philcunningham2707]

Thanks Jack, nice riding with you. I try to watch for you out there maybe one day I will see you drive safe.

[@ppger44]

I remember those backings in NJ.

[@silveradorider01]

this is an awesome channel Jack! I'm glad I found it. laughed about the mosquitos, you know , those itchy ones. LOL. Great video.

[@markpitre7332]

Thanks for these videos. It puts me right there in it. I’ve seen lots of channels that turn out being the personal life of the driver. From what I can see so far is that you are just giving us the view from the window into the highway truck stops. It’s bringing me back to when I did drive for a very little while. I missed my wife and children too much to keep doing it. My plan is when my youngest heads off to college in a couple of years to get back into it. My wife is excited about retiring and being able to come with me. I’ve told her that it can be a grind just to go every day but she hasn’t seen much of the country so I can’t dampen her spirit. We watched this video and we are both so excited. I know what this business is like and if my wife can be with me just sometimes it will be great. BTW I used to Drive I 40 every week. I loved the drive down the mtn from flagstaff to Lake Havasu. Amazing to see the weather change so rapidly.

[@norwichcornerschristianchu2235]

Thanks for bringing us a long Jack. You Rock!!

[@jamesmoffatt68]

hi jack another great vid keep them coming mate big hello from n. ireland again

[@JamesDuphay]

Stayed at that truck stop in 97 woke up to 8" of snow on my hood!! Great vid!!

[@sjtom57]

I remember back when they were still called 8 Days Inn. Great vid as always. Stay safe out there.

[@kecapmanis4191]

Jack, you should consider installing an APU for your truck. IMO the cost would be recouped in terms of saving from fuel and maintenance for the tractor engine.

[@zoelusiera1010]

I love the different camera shots while you drive. It is if one is in the truck ! , experiencing the real "thing" . The other thing that also interest me , is that although it is a different country , the trucking issues stay the same ! That is now for example the thing with the "four wheelers" getting frustrated with trucks in the passing lane. hahahahaaa..........

[@desmondorr3837]

love the scene at 19:53m,beautifully comforting and welcoming,nice job Mr Jack

[@AnthonyMcMan007]

Love your vids dude. One of the best trucker vlogger out there

[@nflisrigged1395]

And you helped SAVE route 66 !!!!! That's cool man

[@railfanbryan7225]

I love watching your videos as well as IRT and Outback Truckers (an Australian show available on Netflix)

[@TheJetwasher]

Yet another great video Jack. My brother from another mother! Take care & stay safe.

[@IdaDog1000]

I really like your videos. You hardly ever have a dislike. It is like Dam you are good. Stay safe.

[@brianlloyd4822]

Enjoyed the music and the scenery. MThanks so much

[@stnlong73]

Didn't recognize it as not the Rte.66 I knew back in the '50's. This is a good series to watch although I'm not a trucker but someone that likes to hit the road.

[@sisutrucks]

thanks for the ride :)

[@mandybeddoes9112]

[@juampy725663]

[@ruud992]

Nice Video Jack, (I'll pass the hotel). Greetings from The Netherlands!

[@hansell9221]

"he must be new or something" Love it!!

[@thesentinel8974]

Jack, this was a great video. Best drivin' music yet! I enjoyed the Flagstaff segment, Anything else on Flagstaff? I might be intrested in living there. Clear air, constitutional carry, low taxes and the blessing of 4 seasons. Currently in the North East (NJ) preparing to retire

[@RiDankulous]

Flagstaff is significantly higher in elevation than Phoenix. I believe it is normally much cooler, also. Many may assume Arizona being mostly desert but there is a very wide variety of biomes and each of them are large.

[@wifighostcruiser9665]

Welcome to Phoenix, Jack, there's nothing unusual about 116 degrees. I noticed you don't show the switchbacks going up the side of the mountain to Flagstaff, that's because you're too busy looking down at 8000 feet and hanging on for dear life LOL. Never again will I drive out there. I've had enough of driving on the sides of mountains where every moment could be your last.

[@sharonrivers1087]

id love a ride in old red.i miss all of it

[@wallygatorsr.6815]

Good Video I drive myself . I am on Holiday right now I am in the Ukraine . I've stayed in Gallup a few times through the years .

[@montez292]

[@MrWeta]

Fantastic awesome stuff Jack,

[@dougmcintee1817]

You do know lettuce has zero food value and uses far too much water to grow it. Saying that I really enjoy your films very well dune, thank you for sharing.

[@terrychance267]

sir l love your video greetings from Trinidad

[@guydemers7607]

Hi Jack, I sure do like Flagstaff, if I had a choice to live anywhere in the the U.S. that may be the place. Is Gallup where they have all the polls? I appreciate the ride along Jack and I hope you find an empty nearby. take care

[@alecamal]

+Guy Demers funny,as a kid living in Gallup and later a little East of there I really thought that

[@antoniobalsamo4046]

If you liked Ice Road Truckers, you might also like Outback Truckers...trucking in Australia.
