Thanks for the nostalgia trip through Oregon. Way back when I was a wee lad (think early 1950’s), my family and I made a trip from Yreka, CA to Myrtle Creek, OR (south of Roseburg). In those days, it was on US 99, basically a two lane road. The climb over Mt. Ashland was especially exciting.
I live in Eugene and I drive from home to Los Angeles then to Portland then home every week. It was cool to see Oregon through your eyes then I realized this is old footage haha. The construction zone at the beginning is 3 lanes wide now
Hi Jack, I can't tell you how much I enjoy travelling along with you again in you older videos. I missed you being on the road because I was able to see America in way I would never do on my own. Your videos are all done so well, so thanks and please keep it up. Doug in Wisconsin.
Greetings once again from Ohio ... Thank you for these pre-release! ... It's nice to be going back and running team ... (In the olden days, called running 2-man) .... lol ... A bit if nostalgia time! Thinking back, I can't recall ever being up the Oregon stretch of I-5, other than with you ... I was in Portland. I recall being there approx 2 wks prior to Mt. St. Helens ... I met a dear trucker friend while on that run (named Art), with whom I was in contact for many years. I won't bore you all with more details, but do want to say thank you for the video. I've watched most of what you have posted in the past, and look forward to the up-dates. Stay safe and well, and may you be Blessed through your new position in Fla.
Love seeing the remastered videos from the "Old Red" days! I ran this route from LA to Seattle for 6 months before going 48 states. As for the use of the breakdown lane for travelling up the passes, I'd have to disagree with what you said in the video. I know some drivers use it as a courtesy to other drivers, and the cops let them get away with it, but in reality they are really putting themselves in a dangerous situation. If they come up on a disabled vehicle or the road narrows due to a bridge, then that lane suddenly disappears and they need to take evasive measures. I was taught to maintain my speed in the legal travel lane and let the traffic work around me. Hope to see more of what you're doing now Jack! Hope all is well in Life After Truckin'!!
Another great video thank you jack. The north west is beautiful. Still waiting for you to come and get me from Lakeland. Have a super weekend in Lakeland. Oh if you could can you do a short video on Lakeland and Polk city. Would be appreciated.
I used to live in Port Townsend WA. So, I know those roads through Oregon pretty well. That 7 Feathers Travel Center was one of my regulars when I was short on time or the chain laws were in effect.
Ok muy bien ! Como siempre sus videos bien editados indiana, un 100!!! Lo veo en mi smartv de 32" Saludos desde Monterrey,NuevoLeon. ,Mexico fernando Reyna
Nice video, on the point of shoulder driving. It's actually not allowed unless stated on the roadway signs. I've seen drivers get in a bad spot on those 4 passes with people broke down on the shoulder.
I was just at that truck stop few nights ago I'm in Wyoming now fixing to go to Cabela's to swap trailerswith a guy that has blown a head gasket and had to go back to Idaho and probably back up to Portland Oregon to pick up boat motors
I used to stop at the Pilot at Rice Hill all the time, but that was when they had their own restaurant with home made bread every morning. Now that it's a Subway, eh. Fugeddaboudit.
Very informative & entertaining. Beautiful scenery. Highway 1-5 looks better in Oregon than the 1-5 in Washington St ( at least north of Seattle ) Elvis sang in Portland. Seen home movie with Elvis at the wheel of his bus along with his TCB mafia & he passes a commercial truck. Can you imagine the semi truck driver looking to his left as that bus goes by. Was that Elvis at the wheel ? Elvis sang a song " that long loney highway" He also sang " long legged girl with the short dress on" Plus he sang "Oh happy day that The Lord washed my sins away" Wonder what song Indiana Jack would listen to 1st 2nd & 3rd. Rumor has it that U Haul follows your truck wherever you go. Could it be when ya park ...ya go into the back of that truck...reno into bedrm King sized bed satillite tv ...the works... Ya those hills can be tricky with slower trucks ahead & traffic in the left lane..... Gotta get the new & improved grasshopper truck...slow truck ahead...traffic in left lane so ya cannot get into passing lane....no problem. Push the activate grasshopper button located far right on dashboard. Once pushed your entire rig tractor & trailer will hop ahead & over the slower vehicle & land perfectly smoothly on road. Caution activate only on straight highway. Not if highway curves or if there's a tunnel. Funny there is no mention about checking if there's a slower vehicle ahead of the slower vehicle you want to hop over ??? I can see headliners in National Enquirer ..Jack and Jill were in a 1970 VW bug & somewhere along highway I-5 they disappeared without trace??? Police are baffled. One Andy of Mayberry program had deputy Barney Five ( Don Knotts) get an old WW 1 motorcycle with sidecar. He then started pulling over the semi trucks for going 5 mph over the posted limit as drivers wanted to get a run up the steep grade ahead. Barney said that if he did not enforce the speed limit well next week the truckers would be going 10 mph over the posted speed limit...then in two wks 15 mph over ...so on. So truckers scared of Barney gear down & their engines make loud noise & houses along the highway have owners that cannot get a proper sleep!!! You never did tell us what ya did with that tasty pie ???? ( eyes up ) You sure had fun in your trucking job...or you made it fun. Good attitude is good for heart /blood pressure.
Lonely highway......not loney highway. ( there must be a highway called loney highway somewhere in the world or universe....hee hee...guess that's why I accidently wrote loney highway.
You know something trucking even though it has its benefits it is still a job that pays well but its allot driving but still at least you get paid for that thank you indianajack trucker for realing in this videos and stay 100.
Jack I've been watching your videos quite awhile, perhaps a few years, and have great respect for what you did then and now. A suggestion: perhaps previous to a video of this nature you might tell us roughly the year you made it if you know, and briefly what it is about, the truck you are driving, etc. I kind of understood when you first started going back in time because I recognize Old Red & you looked different too, but new comers may be confused. They may not know you are now doing a different job in trucking just as vital in my opinion. Perhaps some back story or prelude when you show these previous recorded videos would be a great idea. Regardless thumbs up on this video.... BTW, regardless what I'm driving, I do my best to give trucks the right of way, knowing what they go thru from watching your videos.
Had to do a 34 reset at the Jubitz once, and yes its not the Ritz Carlton by any stretch but there was a sandwich shop that had some excellent sandwiches and the rooms weren’t to bad.
Thanks for the old video my friend and that was a steep mountain-what grade is that? I’m sure Mont Eagle was was than that. How common is triple trailers in the US? I always thought it was illegal in the US. Delicious looking pie my friend. Hope you have a great day and may GOD ALWAYS BLESS YOU-take care
How did you manage to get through Portland without I-5 being a parking lot? My last 2 trips through Portland were a nightmare as the freeway was mostly a parking lot all the way up through Vanvouver.WA
I have to admit, I didn't know I could have pulled over to that shoulder lane when driving in the mountains on Interstate 5 in Oregon. Try that in California and you're going to get a hefty ticket. :-(
I will never understand how a triple wiggle wagon can be pulled with a single axle Tractor, like we see here with Estes, isn't that a tad overweight or is it good for weight distribution, I dunno, I never drive doubles or triples, but it's an endorsement on my CDL, please fill me in on this!!
It was very common in my earlier day's of driving a truck, that drivers would move over on to the shoulder, to let you pass, even a lot of 4 wheelers would move over for you, these days drivers don't have any respect for anyone, it's all about themselves
Sir Indianajack !!! Now that you are OFFICE bound ,,NO more Berry pie for you !!! SHAME/SHAME !!! haha !! Anyhows .,, enjoyed the show & waiting to see what Lakeland has is store for you ???? "'KEEP IT SAFE "" !!!
"No one has courtesy anymore", yet your cutting off cars so you don't loose momentum LOL. And driving on the shoulder kicking up rocks, and road dust - yea that's courtesy.
Is that Volvo a Mack Volvo meaning it was a Mack when Volvo bought Mack Trucks. Or is that truck ALL Volvo? At any rate its a fine dependable truck. I really enjoy watching many of your movies from Shadyhills Florida, USA.. May God bless you and your truck in 2020 with a hedge of protection in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. AMEN.
Blackberry Trail. Or, How to be a 300lb trucker...... btdt lol @7:35 I drove for Knight for awhile we were instructed to NEVER drive on the shoulder EVER because of the possibility of rain subsidence causing the pavement to fail and the obvious hilarity that follows. Schneider and JB Hunt had similar directives. California has the WORST record for repairing washed out shoulders. Oregon is better. Washington (WDOT) seems to vary by section. I don't know how many trips I've made on I-5 in 8 years of LTL. I have seen more than a few heavy trucks run afoul of shoulder fail. That Pilot at Rice Hill is or was one of the best on I-5. I'm with you on the T/A dislike. Unless you enjoy the squirts? NEVER TA! I retired in 2007 after my third heart attack in 3 months. 16 years total OTR Half LTL, 4 years driving Logs and Chips, 4 years dedicated flatbed. I liked Logs and Chips. I was home every night. Do I miss it? The drives through spectacular scenery most definitely! The really excellent people you meet along the way? Absolutely! The idiot drivers, meathead driver managers, bored DOT/State Cops? Not even a little bit. I even had the luck to render aid to a State Cop that was having a heart attack while doing an inspection on my truck somewhere in Missouri. The stories I tell people don't start with "Now this is no BS". Yet they still don't believe them. Unless they're Truckers. Truckers go "Hell son, That was Monday!" Love your channel. Thanks and keep it out of the ditch!
I Live in Grants Pass, and the PETRO in Medford Used to Be my Favorite, BUT it is Absolutely the WORST food I have ever tasted, and the Lounge Smells Like POO and Grease..and the Emergency Road Service DOES NOTHING after Midnight Until 6am....NOT My Favorite any more...I will NEVER sop in there again after my last visit
Hello Jack use to traval that route myself.from minnesota .like what youdid to your hair .say jack im looking for a truck price in the .$27.689___$35.423 range can you help out a old trucker.name is Rodney.if you can

You ran my old route and stopped at my favorite stop Rice Hill and filled at pilot across the street my one of my old companies May Trucking.
Ok muy bien ! Como siempre sus videos bien editados indiana, un 100!!! Lo veo en mi smartv de 32" Saludos desde Monterrey,NuevoLeon. ,Mexico fernando Reyna
Nice to see again Indiana Jack, I remember you mentined in a previous video that old red was sold.
Cool, I would love to have the same job which gives me an opportunity to travel during work.
Would love to run out west for a bit before I hang up the spinner.
Hammer down Jack on the vids
BlackBerry pie trail you have my attention sir
Ben there! Wish I could go back!
Hello Jack .We have been given a nother great video by Indana Jack . Thank You . Take Care out on the road everybody . Peace .

Lovely Vids Old Chap
How about a side posting of the original date of your older vids so I and many others can have a reference point on when you were there..Thanks
I used to stop at the Pilot at Rice Hill all the time, but that was when they had their own restaurant with home made bread every morning. Now that it's a Subway, eh. Fugeddaboudit.
What kind of drone do you use? Video quality is awesome 👏
Very informative & entertaining.

Highway 1-5 looks better in Oregon than the 1-5 in Washington St ( at least north of Seattle )
Elvis sang in Portland.

Wonder what song Indiana Jack would listen to 1st 2nd & 3rd.

Had to do a 34 reset at the Jubitz once, and yes its not the Ritz Carlton by any stretch but there was a sandwich shop that had some excellent sandwiches and the rooms weren’t to bad.
I love that sandwich shop in there Scott.
Had to buy an OR plate at the port, but that was many moons ago.
But what about all the nails and loose bolts on the shoulder?
Good ole days!
Thanks for the old video my friend and that was a steep mountain-what grade is that? I’m sure Mont Eagle was was than that. How common is triple trailers in the US?

would anyone know why there has not been any new video lately, last one which i cant locate is his new job in florida
We're you using the engine brake
Whats with all the reruns?
Seven feathers stop is nothing but convenient store now unless of course you take the shuttle to the casino.
It was very common in my earlier day's of driving a truck, that drivers would move over on to the shoulder, to let you pass, even a lot of 4 wheelers would move over for you, these days drivers don't have any respect for anyone, it's all about themselves
Ya, that's what I call the Me Me Me generation.
You mentioned training in Florida. Where was that if you don't mind me asking?
Werner on the Sears account with a trainer named Walt.
Sir Indianajack !!! Now that you are OFFICE bound ,,NO more Berry pie for you !!! SHAME/SHAME !!! haha !! Anyhows .,, enjoyed the show & waiting to see what Lakeland has is store for you ???? "'KEEP IT SAFE "" !!!
On the highway with Jack again !!
I've been trucking for 9 years and I didn't know you could legally drive on the shoulder. Is that certain states or situations only?
Rather than add a truck lane, Oregon allows trucks to use the shoulder through the passes. In this case the new construction took out the shoulder.
What he said. :-)
This was back before they added a third lane.
Nice 👍 video and now i want 🥧 lol 😂 cool 😎 Peace ✌️
You’re actually not allowed to drive on the shoulder. The shoulder is wide for emergencies.
Did you pick up any good movies at the adult shop, lol ?
Ooida 👍🇺🇸👍
👍
👍. 👍. 👌
Thank's to Jack. Now I got go to store get a pie & ice cream...
👍✌️
You forgot to mention Jubitz is where DAT started no better place for a promo
Why are you back driving your old red for once you get you a newer truck since your back Trucking again
Camera placement kind of sucks for this video. You can only see half of the scenery looking forward. Whoops it changed at 15 min back to normal.
Jack are you back driving?👍🏿
No he put a video out awhile back saying he’s going through old videos and re-edits them .
Truckin SpARRoW ok TS I appreciate that👍🏿always enjoy the videos
I avoid highway 101 I've never driven a semi down the highway 101... they have Rock slides and mudslides!
"No one has courtesy anymore", yet your cutting off cars so you don't loose momentum LOL. And driving on the shoulder kicking up rocks, and road dust - yea that's courtesy.

Sadly common sense isn’t so common anymore.
First
