9.30pm in the UK trying in vain to find something to watch on telly, when suddenly my phone beeped. Good old indiana Jack sent me something to watch for 30 mins.... Thanks
Bud Hanson employed fuel island girls at his fuel stop here in town. Other town hired girls too at their truckstops to fuel trucks. Yes I remember full service fuel stops. Wash windshield. Check oil and tires. Fill radiator and window washer. You would go inside and use rest room and buy eats. Sometime they would move your truck ahead and be fueling another truck. Even the girls knew how to move a truck.
Full service is one of the few good things about NJ,the funny thing is fuel is even cheaper than all the surrounding states too.So if you're driving into NJ wait 15 min to a half hour or so after crossing over because the stations close to the borders are a little higher and usually are packed ;)
Thank you once again for sharing Jack. I enjoyed the ride as always. Oh, and next week is Driver appreciation week. Thank you for your dedication and passion for hauling freight and moving America safely as always. Your a first class professor of trucking adventure.
JACK, I HAVE TO TELL YOU I WATCH OTHER TRUCKERS, BUT YOU ARE MY FAVORITE, FOR A LONG TIME NOW. YOU ARE A TRUE KNIGHT OF THE ROAD. LOVE YOU, AND YOUR VIDEOS.
Trucking isn't a job. Its a lifestyle. It gets in your blood. Its true, the interstate calls to you. Thanks for the videos Jack. It brings me back to the day when I drove OTR. I really miss driving. The sounds, the smells, the trucks. I miss it all. May the traffic be light, the road smooth and the scale house closed. Drive on driver. Safe travels.
I last drove in 1981, and it was tons of fun. It was the days of Smokey and The Bandit, Convoy, and 10-4 good buddy. When I see the government regulations that you have to put up with today, I don't think I'd want to put up with all that stuff. Some of it seems to be making trucking more dangerous when you are always under pressure to Beat The Clock. We aren't all Bud Collier, you know. We aren't all Supermen, which is what it must take to drive under these conditions. Just one retired guy's observation. (Do any of you get my double reference, or am I just that much older than everyone on the planet?)
Dang you are old, LOL. I wish I could have driven during that time. I started in the early 90's and quit in 2013. I loved it in the 90's, you could run hard without anybody bothering you (mostly). We were all upset when they changed the HOS from 10-8 to 11-10 in the early 2000's, it seemed to all change after that.
Yup, very old and feel every year of it. In videos such as this, I look at what these drivers of today have to put up with in regulations, and I'm not sure I'd get into trucking again. But it's not just in trucking, there's so much regulation, restrictions, government interference, and erosion of freedoms that I have to reiterate what my Mom said once. To paraphrase her: "I'm glad I lived when I did because the whole world has gone to hell in a hand basket ." And she said that 30 years ago, and it's only gotten worse.
Thanks for the video, I always look forward to watching each week. Thankful to be born here in the USA, there are many other great countries and places to live, but I don't think I would want to live anywhere else.
I had always wondered about the I-10, I-20 interchange, according to Google maps it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for showing that to us.
And watching your videos is what inspired me to pursue my CDL. I came from the Intelligence field with the government and it was just miserable. Gave up a federal job with security clearance to hit the road. Don't regret it at all.
still remember the old union 76 truck stops, which were my favorite place to stop. pull up, shut it off, tell them to fill it up check oil water, and get the windshield. go inside get a coffee and sandwich, then go
As a 50's child I remember going to the Texaco station and having our car swarmed by the driveway attendants with full service and having them ask my dad "check under the hood sir" ? what memories come back with that question and by the way Jack what year is "OLE Red"?
We fans of yours realize the time constraints you operate under and appreciate anytime you publish a new video. How about one a week cause we are hooked on what I consider the best show on youtube !
My neighbor just started working for Werner trucking. He parked his new tractor out front of his house just now. It has 900 miles on it ! I wished him luck, and being a fan of Indiana Jack I knew how to talk trucks with him. Cool !
I doubt the neighbors will let him park it there but it sure must have been nice seeing it there. 900 miles is just the mileage bringing it home from the dealer. :-)
Hi there Jack, really enjoying watching the trials & tribulations of trucking over there. In New Zealand I'm running just over 204,000km a year. We also run the same hours, drive time. rest etc. Its good to see how your electronic log works, and maps from one place to another, food , fuel , trucks , and those bloody dispatcher's lol, anyway on September 25 every year the nation set's it's clocks forward 1hour, so that over the summer we get an extra hour of daylight, primarily done for the dairy industry & milking cows. This daylight saving's run's thought to April where we put our clock's back 1hour, which makes it darker earlier. Safe road's for the future and upcoming clips. Appreciate it, Jason.
Most of us northern Minnesota guys have driven on ice roads across lakes and on rivers to haul logs. Before we had a interstate bridge we use to drive on the ice to get out of paying a bridge toll. No the same a lisa Kelly route but still it was over water.
I have heard the bridges to and from Juarez take 5 to 6 hours which could account for the change in loading of the vacuums. Blueberry biscuits sound wonderful. Wash your windshield, check the oil, fill'er up. Just be sure you knew you didn't need any belts because they would pull that trick. Green Stsmps or some other gift like dishes and gas was 29 cents a gallon.
When I was running grain on US hwy 2. The Bagley MN DQ would do that bus the CB radio. He also had item not on the DQ approve menu. He went independent after fighting with DQ and they couldn't compete with him. All the truckers used his service. In those days a ten minute stop could cost you a day's waiting to unload. We use to run hard and fast. Finally intake enough money to get more trailer and a dumper truck. Then I had relax trips rounds.
I remember those days. I used to work pumping gas, checking the oil, wash the windshield, all part of Atlantic's (is now Exxon) full service. Of course then I was 14 to 16 years old, and I am now 63, so yes, a long time ago, LoL. Do you see that part of your truck on the outside is flapping in the wind (12:36)? I’d hate to see that rip off. I bet the pitter patter of rain on the fiberglass sleeper can lull you to sleep. Thanks for your time Vloging for (my) our entertainment.
Greetings Mr. Indiana Jack, my name is Cata Papuse. I live in Montréal, Canada and I have enjoyed watching your videos. Also I am happy for you that somehow you got BIG RED out of the shops and that it's running better now. I write to you because in about 9 months time I want to start working in the trucking industry. Funny thing, the first video of you that I saw on RUclips happened to be: "the top 10 reason why you/I want to become a trucker". Regarding my reason why I want to become a professional driver like you, has to do with a chilhood dream of traveling and a newer passion I have with driving in general. I want to wish you and BIG RED nothing but safe travels and hope to see more awesome aventures.
Let say this in my humble opinion of all of the Trucker videos that I subscribe to. yours is the very best! Next time I go the Flying J, I will the chicken 🐔.
I wish my days out on the road went by like your videos jack. Good morning we just got loaded going to music montage time for lunch and our 30 Min. break description of our lunch, music montage, we have arrived at our deliver for tomorrow morning.
Jack you had your camera mounted on the right side of the hood looking back is your quarter fender in front of the steps coming loose it's really moving a lot.
Jack did you ever haul anything that you did not know what was in your trailer? I did back in the 70's. I did from San Francisco to Washington D.C., I had an unmarked car tailing me and one car leading me all the way. I still don't know what I had on board.
Yeah, I'm surprised Jack didn't mention that. A whole rig could be a breakdown, but just the trailer seems a bit odd. I guess a breakdown where the took just the tractor for repair.
Exactly. Those days are really gone. Other than that gas station in one of the Back to the Future movies, a pit stop will never be like driving into a real Chinese restaurant. They use the swarming service model. We had something like that but again, wages were much different back then.
In new jersey it is illegal to pump your own gas, its not just for convenience. And I totally get it about subway lines, especially if there is only one person on counter.
there is a truck stop, east of Gallop, i think, run by Native Americans, its quite large, near an oil refinery, anyway, they use to come out and do your windows and fuel up your truck, but i think they quit doing that. truck drivers would say "i"ll do it myself, thank you."
For those that want to come to USA, just go to Mexico first then, either walk or swim across the Rio Grande River. Once you get here tell them you are illegal and you will get free medical care, food and housing. Welcome to USA. Twelve million people can't be wrong. Another great video, IndianaJack.
Some of my buddies are striping the DEF off their trucks and resetting the engine..Runs much better and gets better mpg. $20,000 was the repair cost. So they saved $18,000. When you find shop... keep your mouth shut...too many will spill the beans...so find your own local shop who knows you that is an independent.
Great vid as usual. Love the different cam angles. How many cameras do you need for this? In 1975 my uncle was asked to repair a machine and when he came back to Germany he got a contract with that company where he repaired this machine. He did a great career. He became a CEO from a simple mechanic. Under his leading the company opened three more plants. Since he is retired he is full time RVing. So he made it.
Hi Jack.....Blueberries......good for the Eyes! During the 2nd World War, British Pilots learned they could go for longer flights of bombing if they had a bowl of Blueberries before taking off.
I think it all depends. I once got in a Subway line behind a woman who ordered six foot-longs, and each one was a different combination of ingredients. I eventually gave up and went elsewhere.
I like that you touched the migration to the US issue. From what I've found out - it's better be legal than illegal. You have a lot more rights and privileges being legal. End of story. It works like that in any Western civilization country, including European countries. Now, from what I've found out - you need work visa to start with. Unless you went for green card programme (a lottery in my view) and gained access to the US labour market that way... You can still apply for green card when being in the US on current work visa. It's the best way. I've been thinking of joining US haulage industry myself for a while. I just don't have that "umph" yet. P.S. I've been driving trucks in England for 2 years now.
hi indiana. actually you can help the people that ask to move to the us. what the embassy in the foreign countries says, is that a person from the us can call a emigrant with a written letter to the us embassy. also a person can come to america if it has a business opened in their country and another business in the us wants to hire the company abroad. the us company goes to the us embassy and writes a letter where they state that they wish to do business with a foreign company and that company must move in the us to work. a simple example would be , jack , if you would need a second driver for your company. so you hire the foreign company to haul for you in the us. its a business to business work relationship. it is very difficult for a immigrant to come to the us on his own. its far easier to be called to the us by either a us company for work or a us citizen , the reasons may vary as a normal citizen , maybe you need a nanny for your kids or a worker in your house. many reasons but the problem is always the same its very hard for a emigrant to come to the us on its own. the trial for a visa are draconic in third world countries and if the person tries and gets rejected it can never apply again. you get one shot and thats a lottery at best. thats why people ask for your help.
when you say trucking is an adventure, you are 100% correct, yet another great video, please keep them coming.
Thanks Nick...I see your posts on FB all the time. Thanks for being one of the faithful posters.
indianajacktrucker No Problem Jack. I enjoy every one of your videos, I know you invest a good amount of time for the quality you produce.
Very enjoyable video as usual. Thank you for sharing and allowing me to ride along!
9.30pm in the UK trying in vain to find something to watch on telly, when suddenly my phone beeped.

You're showing your grey hairs. I remember you could radio ahead and the diner would have your food ready to go!
good one but the ending was a little abrupt
Full service is one of the few good things about NJ,the funny thing is fuel is even cheaper than all the surrounding states too.So if you're driving into NJ wait 15 min to a half hour or so after crossing over because the stations close to the borders are a little higher and usually are packed ;)
it was great riding with you indiana Jack as always! ;-)
Thanks Trucken Bill!
Abstract landscapes,people and,flowers thanks for responding. I'm disabled and can't travel much.

Thanks Mary...Nice of you to say and nice of you to watch.
THANK YOU JACK, TRAVELING WITH YOU, IS ONE OF THE JOYS, OF MY LIFE. I GET TO GO, AND SEE PLACES, THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN, THANKS, DRIVE SAFELY.
another great vid. keep up the good work
Indiana Jack thank you for showing me what it's like out there now I drove a truck for 271/2 yrs now retired God bless you
Early riser, early done the work day. Admire your work ethics. Thanks for sharing your day and adventures.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your career with us.
Trucking isn't a job. Its a lifestyle. It gets in your blood. Its true, the interstate calls to you. Thanks for the videos Jack. It brings me back to the day when I drove OTR. I really miss driving.

Another super video Jack, thanks for taking us along!
It's amazing how big Texas is. Takes all day to drive across it over 600 miles!

Awesome as usual IJ. Thanks . Stay Safe!
you inspire me to be a trucker

i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Sam Sterling Flixportal
@Jonah Justus Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it!!

That Stevens truck parked at the Loves was me. Tiny Loves but not too bad. If I knew you were stopped I would have said hi.
Jack, it appears the skirting is loose on the right side near the front fender.
Most of us northern Minnesota guys have driven on ice roads across lakes and on rivers to haul logs. Before we had a interstate bridge we use to drive on the ice to get out of paying a bridge toll. No the same a lisa Kelly route but still it was over water.
thanks for your great video keep up the good work and god watch over you

Hi jack,just like to say I love your videos,stay safe,from Liverpool England
I like driving in the rain. it's soothing.
Good Morning: Double Clutching Truck Company, You Call, We Haul, That's All Ya'll !
Dysart truck stop in Bangor ME. still has full service and has awesome food.
When I was running grain on US hwy 2. The Bagley MN DQ would do that bus the CB radio. He also had item not on the DQ approve menu.

No I'm not a trucker I'm an artist. My father drove truck all my life and when I was a teenager I used to go with him and I enjoyed it .
Riding along with your pop must have been some good inspiration! What kind of art?
No self serve in Oregon either. Love it.
thanks jack from the uk
Thanks for your videos, I see you sometimes coming through dallas.
Good video as always. Safe miles to ya!
I remember those days. I used to work pumping gas, checking the oil, wash the windshield, all part of Atlantic's (is now Exxon) full service. Of course then I was 14 to 16 years old, and I am now 63, so yes, a long time ago, LoL.

Full service pumps seems like a long time ago. Another good video Jack.
I think it's still the law in Oregon.
Great Vid Look Forward To The Next One
Once again a great video sir
thanks jack good video
I wish my days out on the road went by like your videos jack. Good morning we just got loaded going to music montage time for lunch and our 30 Min. break description of our lunch, music montage, we have arrived at our deliver for tomorrow morning.
I dont miss el paso rite now, the rates for our vans are horrible out that way! Be safe my friend, great video, cheers!
Can't wait till the next episode!!
On monday ill get back on the road after nearly 7 months.. cant wait to start trucking again
thanx for the pizza & ride .. always a treat
The pizza meal is the least I could do for you. Thanks for being one of the faithful K.
you were near my neck of the woods. I would gladly have gotten you a cup of Joe to go for ya. hahaha. let me know next time.
Jack you had your camera mounted on the right side of the hood looking back is your quarter fender in front of the steps coming loose it's really moving a lot.
Jack did you ever haul anything that you did not know what was in your trailer? I did back in the 70's. I did from San Francisco to Washington D.C., I had an unmarked car tailing me and one car leading me all the way. I still don't know what I had on board.
Dead bodies...LOL...
Wow!
Those side roads are called FEEDERS or Service Rd. Welcome to Texas
Don't see too many trailers sitting on the side of road LOL
Yeah, I'm surprised Jack didn't mention that. A whole rig could be a breakdown, but just the trailer seems a bit odd. I guess a breakdown where the took just the tractor for repair.
hi jack i wonder where i can get one of your shirts or hats. keep on trucking.
Welcome back Jack.
if you ever travel up I-57. Paxton IL has a Hardee's
good video brother thanks,.............
top class Jack you go steady my friend
Just take your blueberry biscuit when you have a chance.
What was that song you played, On you first fast forward. in this video? Because I liked it. Fantastic beat.
did anyone else notice that truck turning around 3:20 in video back of trailer was open or had no doors. looked like a Ryder trailer.
great video thanks!
i use to be 1 of those guys that filled up trucks and alot not all drivers dint appreciate it
Back in the early 60's I worked for a Mobil station. Full service was the standard. Gas wars at .17 - .19 cents a gal.
Your exactly right, Cal. I remember the same thing. The stations would compete to see who could sell gas the cheapest. It was great.
Exactly. Those days are really gone. Other than that gas station in one of the Back to the Future movies, a pit stop will never be like driving into a real Chinese restaurant. They use the swarming service model. We had something like that but again, wages were much different back then.
I worked for a gas station in the 70 and it was one of those new fangled "Self Serve" stations. It will never last we said, HA!
In new jersey it is illegal to pump your own gas, its not just for convenience. And I totally get it about subway lines, especially if there is only one person on counter.
there is a truck stop, east of Gallop, i think, run by Native Americans, its quite large, near an oil refinery, anyway, they use to come out and do your windows and fuel up your truck, but i think they quit doing that. truck drivers would say "i"ll do it myself, thank you."
For those that want to come to USA, just go to Mexico first then, either walk or swim across the Rio Grande River. Once you get here tell them you are illegal and you will get free medical care, food and housing. Welcome to USA. Twelve million people can't be wrong. Another great video, IndianaJack.
I came thru Abilene one time and I had the best chicken fried steak one time at a Denney's it was so good !
Hi Jack,,we always see à lot of knight trucks when where on vacation in florida form Belgium..is knight à good compagny to drive for..
Some of my buddies are striping the DEF off their trucks and resetting the engine..Runs much better and gets better mpg. $20,000 was the repair cost. So they saved $18,000. When you find shop... keep your mouth shut...too many will spill the beans...so find your own local shop who knows you that is an independent.
4-5 people in a Subway line shouldn't take any half an hour! That is a dead slow Subway.
Some of them are very fast. It depends if I am parked for the night or not.
Great video. Hopefully we;ll be losing some residents (if they keep their promise) and that will make a little room.
Scones with Jam (biscuits with jelly) UK LOL
Great vid as usual. Love the different cam angles. How many cameras do you need for this?
In 1975 my uncle was asked to repair a machine and when he came back to Germany he got a contract with that company where he repaired this machine. He did a great career. He became a CEO from a simple mechanic. Under his leading the company opened three more plants. Since he is retired he is full time RVing. So he made it.
Hi Jack.....Blueberries......good for the Eyes! During the 2nd World War, British Pilots learned they could go for longer flights of bombing if they had a bowl of Blueberries before taking off.
Fine video.
Jack 3 or 4 people in a subway line is less than a 5 minute wait.
+Oheeeoh not at the ones in truck stops.
I think it all depends. I once got in a Subway line behind a woman who ordered six foot-longs, and each one was a different combination of ingredients. I eventually gave up and went elsewhere.
And when you put cream and jam on a biscuit they are then called scones
I'll take my biscuits soaked in honey.
I'm a ice road trucker🚚🚚🚚🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛
the hours are long
the ice is crackle poping
but it's Worth
the pay
Good vid and editing!
I like that you touched the migration to the US issue.
From what I've found out - it's better be legal than illegal. You have a lot more rights and privileges being legal. End of story. It works like that in any Western civilization country, including European countries.

I've been thinking of joining US haulage industry myself for a while. I just don't have that "umph" yet.
P.S.
I've been driving trucks in England for 2 years now.
Lol. Fun to see all these so called truck driver's
Oregon pumps your gas too!
you are in my home city i believe that was the east side of town exit 38 i think ?
hi indiana. actually you can help the people that ask to move to the us. what the embassy in the foreign countries says, is that a person from the us can call a emigrant with a written letter to the us embassy. also a person can come to america if it has a business opened in their country and another business in the us wants to hire the company abroad. the us company goes to the us embassy and writes a letter where they state that they wish to do business with a foreign company and that company must move in the us to work. a simple example would be , jack , if you would need a second driver for your company. so you hire the foreign company to haul for you in the us. its a business to business work relationship. it is very difficult for a immigrant to come to the us on his own. its far easier to be called to the us by either a us company for work or a us citizen , the reasons may vary as a normal citizen , maybe you need a nanny for your kids or a worker in your house. many reasons but the problem is always the same its very hard for a emigrant to come to the us on its own. the trial for a visa are draconic in third world countries and if the person tries and gets rejected it can never apply again. you get one shot and thats a lottery at best. thats why people ask for your help.
have you ever tried the trading post restaurant at the pilot at hwy 395 and the 15 frewway in adelanto?
Jack, here's a short video of my new Pete.
Isn't there any truck stops that do not have fast food anymore?
Don't tell the good folks of Tye, TX that youre in Abilene. They'll look at you funny.
