[@jaymathes2037]

[@pj4345]

Really enjoyed the extra vids,Jack... I come from a long line of driver family.. My Grandfather had a old Bulldog that my Dad learned on at the young age of 16.. After his Navy time (joined up at 17yrs old) he came home to drive. .making a good living back in the day.. My brother drove in Army.. My xhubby drove for many years,just retired a couple years ago.. My son started with Schneider out of NC..Went onto being a Owner Operator for Atlas.. Got called back into Military Service,has since retired.. All my uncles were drivers too. Even had a couple female Cousins to drive... Watching the road with your driving has been great. I miss those times of jumping in the truck, an hitting the hiway with family. . Am I right,home base is Florida ? My Dad was a true Floridian. .born & passed on now.. I grew up in Miami.. born & raised 1951.. Living in GA, no reason to be back to Florida. . My you keep it between the ditches. . Blessings to you on that long road.. Always... PJ XO

[@yardmaster1947]

Jack, I am thankful for you and your videos. After 42 years and over 3.5 logged miles with semis and tour buses, I am reliving my former career, and places I have been, through you. Continued good luck running on your own.

[@jamesbaker7780]

Words to live by right there..."No reason to get upset, go have a chicken dinner or something" God bless you sir.

[@jsh1242]

[@maynardferguson9599]

[@garyallen7868]

Thank's for sharing Jack, Y'all be safe out there, ya hear!

[@amascia8327]

*The Thankful Trucker* ...a beautiful two lane road with no traffic - heaven indeed.

[@MrBigR928]

Can believe that shipper tried to tried to pull a fast one on Jack! They were smiling in his face and easing out the straight razor at the same time😲

[@kinger7251]

Without a doubt my favorite KZbinr! Keep up the good work, Jack!

[@samraedeker8002]

Thanks for the ride, it was interesting. Be safe.

[@johna6968]

Always good to be along on your journeys Jack

[@tomallis3954]

Love those Desert runs Jack. Well done as usual and thanks so much for sharing your adventures.

[@richardmiseljr2413]

I'm glad to hear you have much to be thankful for. I'v been unemployed for to years. The criminals in washington stole my class at a time when I was trying to save up the money for new DOT physical card so could back to trucking.

[@mandybeddoes9112]

JACK ,,,,im hooked ,,,,Binge Watching ,, love you to bits ,i have a new friend to watch in my long days here alone X

[@joshuapotter7372]

I'm just glad to see there's at least 118 others up this late and I'm not the only one!

[@Wiscotac]

How do you know we are not watching from China? :-)

[@grahampayne5404]

Tim Colb

[@Minalover100]

I like those older trucks with the twin stacks up front...

[@stephenclifton7198]

Hi Jack...A Tip i came across a while ago in regard "Mud Flaps" getting ripped off and damaging the brackets, is to cut 'Slots' in them with a 'Hack Saw' (or Stanley Knife?) above the Bolt Holes so they will just pull off rather than wrecking the holder brackets as well. And possibly not to have them bolted on too tightly so they will just pull off!. Hope that might help?. Another great Video!!.

[@chadstevens7286]

I'm sure mudflaps could get pinched but you are a terrific professional driver Jack!

[@lorihernandez5835]

Your videos are the best I love them. Thank you❤

[@frritter8253]

Good to travel with you again Jack - thank you for taking us along! (Bless you, you're far more patient than I am)

[@cementdesai7880]

thanks you really make trucking life sound interesting.now i want to buy a truck.

[@MrGerritStok]

Hey trucker, good to be thankfull. Good to share thanksgiving with us. Count what you have, not what you miss. I was missing the west already. 98 degrees? It's 53 here in Holland. Will be june/july before we reach 80.

[@IanRM]

Great video. Jack. I'm a UK subscriber but used to live just out of Phoenix in Mesa. Brought back memories this video :-)

[@avlisk]

Thanks for the tip on Port O' Subs. I've always been a Subway guy, but since I'm only a couple of miles away from that store on 51st, I'll have to give it a try. I hope they have better bread than Subway.

[@chrisbryant8043]

Wow. Some people can be real dicks. Who cares how Jack lives his life or what he does? He likes it enough to keep doing it. It’s not for everyone. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. Easy as that. As for me, I can’t wait to go OTR. Keep on trucking Jack. Keep the shiny side up

[@traveller9625]

Jack you make the best trukin videos there is, what it is really like. Thank you very much for doing what you do.

[@remylove9292]

Great video as always jack.

[@gunthervansamang]

Great vlog Jack..loved the sceenery in Arizona and the beautifull wheater..greetz from belgium

[@kenolsen1845]

Language skills i.e. spelling.

[@toms2115]

Patience....Jack has taught me patience. It is a looong road!

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Thanks for well done videos that show problems a new driver can be gobsmocked by. Why are some shippers so very....?

[@gregory2622]

Great video Jack.

[@Ivansgarage]

Drove truck for 36 years, and waited for loads-unloads 18 years.

[@CanuckTruckCB]

Great stuff Jack, Much Appreciated and enjoyed, Matt Calgary, AB

[@MrHtowntrucker]

That old wrecker will run longer than your new Pete.

[@Ricky-tx7it]

Phoenix sure looks nice, watching from a cold, wet, dark and gloomy north west of england. Always enjoy your films.

[@LeadsTheFallen]

makes me want to go trucking now lol

[@bitethedevil]

Makes me want to go to England. Love wet, dark and gloomy weather.

[@kzcowboyfan]

Ricky Garner It's a bitch in the summer

[@TheIntelligentView]

Phoenix is becoming L.A. number TWO!! Everyone from Cali and all over the world is moving to Phoenix. I can tell you... it's turning into a fucking HELL!!

[@1armedguy4]

You Jack must have the patience of a angel, I'd have lost it for sure. These type of shippers have no respect for the truck drivers and don't give a damn if it screws your scheduled pickup !!

[@donrutheford4192]

I recognized my hometown of Scottsville. KY when you went to Jack's Shopping Center. My next door neighbor owns that shopping center. Named after his father Mr. Jack Turner and Scottsville is also the home of Dollar General Stores !

[@itoldyouso2137]

Always good to see an Indy Jack video

[@jeffreyfisher4675]

Be thankful for good health MOST of all!

[@jackklingen4728]

Good video Jack, enjoy them. Not so much time between. Be safe

[@markanthony9368]

I love watching your videos.. hello from Philippines

[@akcat3516]

Mark Anthony i

[@shnimmuc]

Great video Archive

[@sr633]

They're are liars in management everywhere Jack I remember that one got caught in lie at a meeting and was laughed out of the room.

[@adventuresofperseus945]

What are you supposed to do if that happens if their to "busy" to load? Just sit and wait? I do agree that is a nice looking truck.

[@steffenfelger3606]

interesting view into that old towing truck. "Naked" dashboard, some years ago this was standard, today it looks like stone age.

[@joeslob1199]

This was a cool different platform video. A nice upchange from the norm Jack. Note: Places that do that in the second video, you should tell us the name of the companies. So we can all be aware of them. PS. V8's are great and so is the video!

[@deckerhand12]

joe slob he might not be able to name the company’s. Even if he could I would be a bad idea when it gets out he does that no one would use him because he could make them look bad

[@McNair1952]

Jack, I'm no expert in sweating, but I'm sure that you do sweat in Phoenix. It's just that with the humidity so low the sweat evaporates to quickly you don't notice it.

[@martinevan4237]

Thanks Indiana Jack. I did as you told me and have made a few videos. Thank you so much.

[@JoneszsRides]

another great video keep on keeping on

[@wifighostcruiser9665]

I lived in Phoenix for 15 years and I laugh every time somebody tells me that a hundred degrees is not hot. I think some people just don't feel the heat and don't sweat. You are fortunate. Camión con Davidios!

[@tomswinburn1778]

Cruiser, I live in Houston, but have spent time in Phoenix, as well as other desert communities and the sticks too. Houston seldom hits a hundred degrees, but for ME it's far worse than the desert. Yeah, you do sweat in the desert, but because of the extremely low humidity the perspiration evaporates instantly, by absorbing body heat which is then carried away in the air. Works exactly like air conditioning. Removes the heat from the body and releases it where not objectionable. New Orleans is even worse. For me the desert in summer is a far better place to be than any place the air remains saturated. Desert cools rapidly once the sun goes down. In areas of high humidity the air cools slowly, often not dropping temperature significantly over the entire time it's dark. I'm comfortable in the desert as long as the sun doesn't hit me directly. When that happens I'm an egg sizzling in the pan. Wear a hat. Not a ball cap, a full brim hat. And (believe it or not) long sleeves. Or stay in the shade.

[@DeepScubaDiver]

I know its almost thanksgiving, but don’t let those shippers/receivers treat you like a turkey Jack. 🦃🦃🦃🦃 😂😂. Happy holidays.

[@davidfarrell7318]

nice to see you back jack it's been a while.

[@ciaranmcmanus3840]

That was a Nice green Peterbilt

[@RB25luv]

Ciaran Mc manus is from miami

[@Ormtz]

Shout out from west Texas oilfileds ... amazing videos as always b safe out there!

[@truckerrochelle-rachelrola8703]

It's a blessing ,nice video's!

[@samrugtiv5563]

good job jack,old red sounds good.sam

[@worshamslawnservice3052]

I wouldn't haul anymore loads to or from that company anymore

[@rstewardson4164]

Port O’ Subs is great, lots of them in the West. Headquarters is in Reno. Another good place is Jersey Mike’s, most are in shopping centers.

[@lfsheldon]

Sounds like a place that has mandatory staff meetings.

[@shnimmuc]

Great video .Archive

[@alward9901]

Hi. RICKY GARNER. I hear you I was a trucker in the UK . In the 60" s on car carriers out of Oxford went the docks mostly , LIVERPOOL. HULL ,London , but I'm. In Canada now. For the las 50 years . We don't have the truck parking problem , well it' s not so bad as the U.S. Our population is only 35 million , as the U.S. Is about. 325 million , good luck don't get lost in fog .

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Again a very nice video, but would blow my fuse if i had too wait a day for loading my truck.

[@runningonempty6558]

Why do some of these shippers treat drivers with so little respect? You are there at their request to move their freight.

[@apocyldoomer]

Running On Empty Shippers and receivers are assholes they don't give 2 shits about the truck drivers..get over it..

[@primalscream711]

This is why automated trucks wont become a reality. Trucks will arrive way faster than they can load them.

[@apocyldoomer]

Primal Scream How so driver, how so?

[@rsmith3126]

How are the new seat covers?

[@dezherrmann6954]

nice video jack, keeping checking in those sandwiches !!

[@djbdavis98]

I am enjoying this, Indiana Jack. I recognized Texas Canyon. If I remember correctly there is a castle there somewhere.

[@davidburton612]

You eat a lot of sandwiches!! LOL

[@indianajack]

+David Burton it seems like it doesn't it?

[@Harley04]

Staying healthy, better than a lot of burgers & fries!

[@norwichcornerschristianchu2235]

Hi Jack, Just a quick question for you regarding your video camera, I am in the process of starting my own youtube video blog and was wondering if you could recommend a great entry level video camera that is easy to use but great quality?? thank you and as always i love your videos, Safe travels to you and ole red

[@indianajack]

+Patrick Michael Moccaldi Your cellphone would be a good place to start. That is what I use.

[@norwichcornerschristianchu2235]

Awesome!! Thanks again Jack!

[@paulwicklund1052]

So Jack, what do you think about Telsa's new semi truck. He doesn't even have a factory or any worker's to build it.

[@paulwicklund1052]

🍞🍕🌭🍔🍟🍦, here's some food for you. Lol.

[@goodmoaningvietnam1439]

They should be nice, they kept you waiting a day.

[@phil8742]

Have you pulled freight for ABF / Arcbest? We sometimes use outside carriers.

[@jcrow7177]

ALWAYS GREAT VIDEOS

[@christopherstewart5220]

Don't drive a truck without a frig,microwave ,coffee maker 23"tv blu ray... Sooo much cheaper and healthier .. Then you don't run the risk of food poison or stomach virus witch can shut you down for 24-48 hours,, Can be held up at a shipper for a good while.

[@kenolsen1845]

Study up on your language skills.

[@what_up777]

Badly managed warehouses, don't you love them.

[@stevekoe]

11:28 I think Jack starting to like the AZ dry heat. :)

[@willey000000000]

they may have just been raided by ICE

[@chetgerber6401]

bill p that's funny! 😃

[@Azdude801]

No kidding.

[@bitethedevil]

Am I the only one to think that truck drivers deliver food and other goods to warehouses and distribution centers so they can delivered to truck stops by local truck drivers so truck drivers can buy those goods that they delivered elsewhere?

[@earlklinestub2167]

I wonder what the “slow time “ looks like

[@bradadams8217]

Jack you guys all seem to idle your engines while resting? Is that the norm? Almost unheard of in Australia.

[@indianajack]

If people don't have a generator or an APU they idle their trucks to stay warm in the winter or cool in the summer. How do you guys control this?

[@bradadams8217]

Idling of trucks is monitored by most company's here and a driver idling for 7 or 8 hours wouldn't be tolerated, even for 1 or hours. You just learn to sleep in the heat. Cold is easy blankets and a Quilt does the trick. Most now have some sort of off engine cooling system Viesa is the most popular www.viesa.ca/products.asp?pid=59 I just got a new truck last month a it has a Icepak 2000 www.icepack.com.au/ it's my first sleeper cooling system. And a lot of places where we load and unload if you are on dock they take your keys for safety so you can't run your engine anyway.

[@glasswinder]

There goes Sammy Franco.

[@firstwest2474]

COOL Wrecker

[@maryparvin3041]

this time i woudda left for sure and found me another load

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

I eat at Subway all the time or Church's Chicken. And if a truck stop has a good resturant in it i will go in and eat.

[@apocyldoomer]

Jesse STONECOLD James Wow, what a exciting life you have, Subways and dirty truck stops , nice..

[@waynesworld2086]

Lol I've waited at henningsen cold storage for 8hrs & 47min for them to say at 1st well we will get to ya,thats after 3hrs & told them its time for detention lol,they didnt like it an I truly believe they purpose took longer & after I got bol they said if I didn't like it I could've found another load or I could never return just that plain n simple so I choose not to return lol

[@georgebriceno4903]

😱You need a trailer wash.

[@Talisman-tb6vw]

I'd like to see a video of you and your opinion of the new Tesla truck. I'm a big fan of electric vehicles - I built one back in 1978, but haven't owned one made by a car company. I almost made a electric hybrid truck back in 78 to haul grain based on a IH 5 ton truck that originally had a 466 gas 5 speed and 2 speed rear - single axle. But never got funding arranged.

[@Adeline9418]

You need to cook your own food!! But an electric pressure cooker!!!! You won't be sorry!!!!

[@wolfsmith2865]

Youve gone right through my city, Tucson. I always say Tucson drivers are stupid, Phoenix drivers are stupid and aggressive. Be safe!

[@tomswinburn1778]

Alright, there IS such a thing as the heebie jeebies. I got a case of them looking at the inside of that wrecker. Ya know how a dog shakes to shed water. I did exactly that after a glimpse of that portal to hell. But I wasn't shedding water. I was trying to shake the heebie jeebies.

[@indianajack]

Because it was old? Because it was a cab-over? Because it was dirty?

[@lilface912]

I work for that company that jack is waiting at and they still don't have things in order their

[@indianajack]

+lilface912 the lady who gave me my paperwork told me they were having lots of problems there.

[@lilface912]

indianajacktrucker they been having problems with everything since they open up in June

[@ohiobwb]

good show jack!

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

enjoyed the trip.

[@blobby273]

why stay there just pull out and find another load .

[@indianajack]

+frustratednomad the broker paid need to stay there. And the only other loads there were were going to the West Coast and I was trying to head home..

[@mauricelinton5867]

Good ol EL Paso!! pretty cool

[@tnitron9750]

Jack you should blackball that receiver for lying on your youtube facebook etc...thats just wrong

[@markverloop8890]

Hi Jack, I noticed that you have been pulling knight tells, did you worked for them? are you with a different co. now?My cousin leased on with knight a while backed he has a family, one week he made only a $100!! hey took out his lease payment, fuel ect ect he took the load back to the main terminal and told the to stick where the sun didn't shine. did that ever happen to you?

[@indianajack]

I don't call for them anymore. But I don't think I had any weeks where it was that slow.

[@wanderingtexan854]

At least they had a sign Lol

[@indianajack]

+Wandering Texan Yes, thank goodness.
