Trucker Say What?

[@fletcher3913]

As always, I enjoyed the ride. Thank you for taking us along.

[@frritter8253]

Good video Jack, thank you for sharing...and for allowing us to join along. Always look forward to your latest trip.

[@tomallis3954]

I'm not sure what time you passed through San Antonio,Professor, but I gave you a wave in the morning anyway. Looking forward to the rest of the trip. Nice ride across the south. Keep the shiny side up.

[@thomascoughran1374]

Trivia: I grew up in Blythe, 1949 - 1959. Knew the desert around those parts like the back of my hand; horseback and Jeep.

[@dcbigsky]

good show as always.......... thanks Jack

[@Torsee]

Another fine video Jack! Early on you were in a car with a camera. The best camera set up I've used is the Ram Pickup. The guide lines on screen actively bend in the direction you are steering. The only problem I got with cameraed cars is, remembering I have it. What.... Where... Oh Yeah.

[@Dan.Whiteford]

Those reversing cameras are really a great help if you are on your own and trying to back up to a standard ball or trailer hitch with a pickup.

[@NanceeRBMore]

Thanks for another great movie! Sorry to see Old Red seems to be starting to eat coolant. It could be just from the heat (105!? yuk!) but you might think about having it pressure tested. Might be time to start thinking about putting Old Red out to pasture. Keep up the great work both behind the wheel and the camera.

[@jmtckr]

thanks for the ride-along Jack, hope it cools off for 'ya. Drive safely.

[@barrydavis1570]

Hi Jack: Weeeeell, let's hope there is no Leak. Sometimes a hard long pull will dump a cupful or two cupfuls. As Water gets hotter, it expands to create a little dump. If there are no bubbles in the Water, you haven't a compression Leak. To see the Bubbles means filling the System right up to the top of the filler Neck which forces any Bubbles into view. Once you are finished, drain out the extra you put in or it will drain itself through the Overflow pipe and you will see it on the Ground. Another indicator is Pressure in the Rad. The Rad systems these days run under a few Pounds of Pressure. If there is no or low Pressure, there is a leak somewhere. And, of course, if you are having to add Fluid regularly, there is a Leak.

[@JOHNMORIN100]

Yea We hear you two thumbs up AOK JACK Your a pleasure to travel with....

[@radio_ak9tx]

Blew right past us! I-10 east of El Paso (on this trip) exit 49... Fabulous Fabens TX :) love the videos

[@Tom-cy5em]

What...... Thanks Jack another great ride along. Regards Tom

[@blueone9098]

Another fantastic video :) Thanks Jack, did you get a haircut? Take care & be safe out there on the roads Jack.

[@shoominati23]

I drove rigids for 6 months and after that I didn't need to look around anymore, just use the rear vision mirror, but when they turned me lose in it, it was a steep learning curve as I parked in a lunch bar carpark and had get in and out about 8 times, before I learned to trust my mirrors

[@2000WDiamond]

Great video Jack as always

[@gabrielrodrigueznono]

Nice video Jack; Greetings from the Canary Islan and good route.

[@poppiarlin5612]

Usually I get the blue coolant at a place called Fleet Pride. Never used it in the Peterbilt only in my personal pickup.

[@jackkumpula7162]

love your videos Jack! you should make then more often though!

[@heinz225]

Jack I wish I knew you stopped at The J in eloy. I live right off of Exit 200. Would liked to meet you in person. Wife and I big fans.

[@cristianpopa9998]

Hi Jack,nice video.Take care man and have a beautiful day.

[@barrydavis1570]

Hey Indiana.....that Coolant looked good. Warm or hot Water is going to raise the level and of course cold Water will lower the level.

[@tomallis3954]

Hello Professor Jack. You probably know by now that the Love's In Van Horn,Tx has re-opened. Maybe you can check it out on your next trip by there. Safe trucken Sir!!

[@motorbikermiles1835]

Great travelling round with you Jack you always seem to be on the road. This leads me to my "mind you're own business" question, how much time do you take off in the year for home and holidays if any? WHAT! Keep on with you're excellent videos. From the UK.

[@hitecpete]

Nice video thanks jack.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

WHAAAAAAAT?....LOL I am Watching all the Old Episodes while I heal!!! SAY WHAAAAAAAAT

[@mailpup]

FWIW, I checked online after you mentioned it and it seems that the Love's in Van Horn has reopened (mid-August). Maybe you can check it out the next time you stop there.

[@xXBuckOFiveXx]

Surprised you're from socal and don't say "the" before every freeway. Love the quality of your videos.. keep up the good work.

[@janeweldon5906]

Thanks for the ride Jack, I sure enjoyed it !!

[@AyrshireGamer]

Great video once again part at the end had me thinking my PC had crashed lol

[@TheMysterio01]

might be a good thing to get your compressor checked out if the head gasket has blown on that, can cause coolant to drop, also unwanted air leaks, also might be a good idea to get a pressure test done to see if there might be any obvious leaks

[@ppger44]

That used to be true with Ham Radio fests where instead of going to a fest for a good deal, people are getting more into internet and cell phones. Problem is if something happened to our electrical grid, only Ham Radio will work.

[@RealButcher]

Nice relaxing music...

[@truckerwannabe7636]

Hmmm, LA to Miami, now that's a long run! Good vid, thanks Jack! (say what?)

[@lilpinkdragon1]

Try the roads in McCurtain county Oklahoma, then base the road findings on the data at hand.

[@RaoulThomas007]

The advertisement prior to the video was Matt Lauer on the Today Show getting a hearing test. What? WTF. Wow, an In-N-Out at 4:49 ! 👏 👏 👏. Olde Red owns the Knight - 17:50!

[@poppiarlin5612]

I use the blue coolant in my 2002 Dodge Cummins. During the summer I decided that I needed to fill the reservoir to the max line. Drove to Bojangles in Aiken SC (6 miles). There was coolant under the truck when I came out. I guess it wasn't supposed to be filled because it went back down to the original level.

[@barrydavis1570]

+Steven Bell Hi Steve: Yep, Water or Coolant expands when heated....with no room left to expand, it must go out the overflow pipe and onto the Ground.

[@poppiarlin5612]

You would think that the coolant reservoir would have accurate level indicators.

[@eugeneglenn4696]

i did not idle, had a bunk heater, had a electric blanket in my aerodyne Kenworth 1981, most places in northeast would not allow idle at night no matter how cold.

[@longtac0117]

good one Jack from down under NZ how many saw the model T at 20.14 min

[@shoominati23]

I want to get one of the mercedes 1 or 2000 series cabovers from the mid 90's cheap and do a refurb on it. They are real capable trucks with the V8s they came with and had way better amenities than most of the other trucks available of the time and are still good. I could extend the chassis and put a bigger fibreglass sleeper on it and put a spoiler on the roof. Being an ex shipwright who knows how to make moulds and laminate fibreglass helps aswell as being a self taught mechanic ;)

[@wrongmower]

Whooo Hoooo, been waitin for the new film, hey look !! he got a shave and a hair cut :) lol

[@epilot1187]

If you were to get rid of old red would you get another Volvo? or something else

[@johnmills186]

I am a farmer and have a semi I use to deliver grain. I take it to the shop before harvest for a full check up every fall. The shop replaced the cab suspension air bag and they told me the truck should ride a lot better because someone had the air adjustment all screwed up. By were they right I was to dumb to know the difference but I am a farmer with a truck not a trucker.

[@hyltonsmith1978]

Hi Jack I flew over to the trucks how in Dallas last week and I met up with the guys from rand McNally and we got talking about you and he said they have tried in the past to get hold of you. He said they would really like to work with you. Cool stuff aye

[@nlochner3]

Proud to say my sister almost dried out to be a Cyclist for Cliff the Company who make's Builder Bar

[@desmondorr3837]

Id do team,I love driving at night,plus I used to crew AFV's in the military so I don't mind sharing a vehicle

[@bluelinebiker]

Id rather listen to that sound of the air tanks filling up than the LMTVs or FMTVs when I was in the Army. Just a high pitched BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Jack you know I have tried watching other truck driving videos but they are either preaching the gospel, know it all BS about types of trucks and young people, how do they get a licence to drive a truck? In Australia it is not that easy to get a heavy ridged licence! I recon you are about my age I am 58 yo I love how you look after old red and the way you drive. Filming is great very clear and good editing. I'll keep subscribing Jack and watching you driving around the States, good senses of humour. Kind regards John Kinnane Tasmania Australia

[@BMStoryTime]

Never had anything stolen from the truck from any of the yards. I usually lock the door though.

[@apocyldoomer]

Hey Dispatcher Jack, I’m catching your older videos now, ha.

[@ginalaf79]

Is that something with the Volvo's? The air being low like that? I never had that problem with my Freightliner? Thanks for the ride along.

[@bobhenry4187]

from my experince Jack that cooland is the life of the sealing on the cylinder liner packing to keep water from entering the crankcase I am a hibatual user fo thew product it also keeps down rust in the cooling system

[@indianajack]

Bob HENRY thanks for your comment Bob

[@yourboyshawn280]

Very cool video Jack!

[@zoelusiera1010]

Wait for the laugh ......... ; yes there it is , now we know it is the end of the clip ! Extraordinary ! , hahhahaaaa............. Thank you again sir ! Must say I about fall out my chair when I saw that you was worrying about your camera be stolen ! ..... Really thought it would not happen over there ! ...... Roads surfaces are VERY BAD . Guess my pals had made it all up trying to convince me about the "much better roads" in the states than in South Africa ! ........ Hahhaaaaaaaa.........

[@davidmarkersnr.1888]

What you call the round table discussions are still frequently the norm her in France, Jack. We eat in some fine places, not the giant multiples that you frequent, and often it is one long table down the room and the tradition is that you wait for the waitress to seat you, thereby filling up the table from one end in an orderly manner. There are exceptions of course, TV is the killer these days, but I very often get into interesting talk about our lives on the road. I would be sad to see that go.

[@albertsoler3566]

good film jack....who makes the best tacos around?

[@SCUBAJAY316]

Have you ever thought about doing team driving? My wife and I are going to do teams.

Jack we missed you at the 2015 Dallas Truck Show,you should have seen some of the Trucks.One of them cost $ 500,000.00 would you like to pay for that check or cash?

[@VetOnFire]

Shreveport has the worst roads, including I-20 and 220 bypass. Riding a motorcycle on either of these is extremely dangerous, I cant imagine bouncing around in a cab of an rig

[@timengland3649]

I just cleaned my laptop screen but, did you get a new camera? This vlog was crystal clear and I felt like I was there seeing it with you. Tks! Huh?

[@shnimmuc]

I love it. Archive

I like for you videos...Great for romania..

[@RL-zx1sl]

I love your videos have u thought about live streaming

[@jgtonzalez]

Greetings from Va. Mr. Jack I gat my CDL on 2014 I drove for a not so big trucking company, for personal issues, I had to stop driving over the road after only about four months and drove for a manufacturing company about another five months and same thing happened. now I have decided that it would be good if I buy a truck and might be able to drive enough to make enough money for paid for expenses and have some extra to live a not so bad lifestyle, the thing is that I don't know how to go about it and I ask people and well, seems as no one wants to help me out and I get discouraged, any advice will be very much appreciated it. thanks in advance.

[@HDTRVER]

Jack what's that "ding dong" sound

[@kevinware5102]

You forgot about the one " What did he say?" lol

I know exactly “what” you mean. Happens to me a lot. I guess we’re both soft talkers, or everyone’s hard of hearing.

When I ask a question loudly people mistake that for being angry. I guess you cant win. HA!

Awesome Film Jack!! You probably said it 1000 times but whats your map software?

[@johnmagill3072]

LOL thanks for including me in this..lol. What truck stop was that you were at around the 10 min mark?

[@willbest1547]

Great video per usual. I'd always assumed the Northeast has the worst roads, but thankfully, you don't have to run up that way. Repeating yourself is extremely irritating. Look forward to part two.

[@eugeneglenn4696]

in 1981 KLM-KLLM asked me if i wanted one of them electric boxes, wake me at 5am, take my picture at will, no fall asleep at wheel, no hookers allowed, i turned themdown, it was not manditory for lease drivers.

[@barrydavis1570]

Hi Jack: I have made some cooling comments below, however, I forgot a Warning also. If anyone wants to take off a Radiator Cap, be forewarned that after a Run, the Water is exceedingly hot....you do not want any of this hot Water sprayed on you. For complete Safety, wait till the Cooling System has cooled down or leave this Duty to someone Trained.

[@Romans-xy5wn]

Hey Jack thanks for the movies. Have you ever dealt with Prime Inc? I am going there in about a month to get my CDL

[@PWD65]

Hey Jack, love the vids. I'm an apprentice diesel mechanic in Australia, when I get qualified I want to do some interstate driving like yourself so your videos are great to watch. Not sure if you know or not, but if you're waiting for your air tanks to fill, they will fill faster if you rev your engine. And one last thing, Just wondering what gearbox you have behind that cummins? Thanks!

[@zoelusiera1010]

+Richard Hurtz ; Hi Richard - only mechanic's rev engines up ...... a good trucker wait for it ; specially if the engine is cold too ! Hahahaaaaa........... Now only joking - I am from South Africa I share your dream of also trucking in USA . At least we play better rugby then they , don't we ? (smile)

[@barrydavis1570]

+Richard Hurtz Hi Richard....a little extra RPM won't hurt. I prefer to let the Engine be at Idle and just let Pressures and Temps. do their thing. I Cringe when I see someone start a cold Engine and poke it up to 2000 RPM right off the Mark. Why.....who taught them this Procedure. Everything is dry and has shrunk in size a few thousandths....don't do it. And the Turbo, sometimes two of them are sitting there waiting for their Bushings to be scored by some Knuckle Head unnecessarily revving the Engine. These Engines have at least a million Miles built into them.....a little respect will give you that Million plus Miles! Just do the Start and let everything happen at or very near Low Idle! Once Temps and Pressures start to show, then go. On a new Engine or rebuilt Engine, many just want to feel some Heat in the Block and then go. This is a consideration for proper Break-in of the Rings.

[@PWD65]

Barry Davis I definitely agree with you. When I start up a truck and need to build up air pressure, I generally wait til I have full oil pressure, and I only rev it up 400-500 rpm above idle. Not revving too hard but still makes air build up a bit faster, Especially if you have a blocked air dryer.

[@barrydavis1570]

+Richard Hurtz Hi Rich: Perhaps it is time to change the Air Dryer Filter. A habit I've often seen is when People feel the RPM should be Gunned just before shutting down the Throttle. Just about Guaranteed is shorter Turbo Life. The Turbo does have a tiny Oil Reservoir between the two Bushings, however, if someone does this, eventually you will hear the Turbine end touching the Housing. Revving is just not necessary and why speed up a Repair Bill for a Turbo of approx. $1,500.00 plus the loss of Revenue and perhaps a Tow. If the Impeller end of the Turbo lets go, you run the Risk of a chunk going into a Cylinder or two.......notta good!!
