Another great film Jack!! Very well put together! I enjoyed it!
Thanks - for letting riding along with you.
It's good to see you're back making these stellar videos again. I love those unique camera angles and the trivia that you give as well. Thanks for another great vid!
Thanks for the nice trip down south.
Jack, again I must say you have such a calm demeanor, it makes your videos that much more enjoyable to watch, I really enjoy the places you film and how you explain things also the camera angles on your truck are fun to see. Your videos are very educational, you'd make a great teacher in another life.
Excellent shots and views!! Thank you!
Smoky and the Bandit was filmed in 5 different locations around the state of Georgia and they were Atlanta,Cumming,Helen,Jonesboro and last Reding,Ga Respectfully filming started May 19,1977 and stared Burt Reynolds,Sally Field,Jackie Gleason Mike Henry as his son and Pat McCormick it will alway's be a classic to me.
James Pearson you forgot in Mcdonough in henry, the place where he backs over all those motorcycles was right by my house
You maybe right.
Thank you Jack, for another well thought out video. Enjoyed it & you can tell that you continue to put a lot of effort into your work.

when you showed the gas pumps at around the 1:20 I saw a Dodge ram parked at one of them, I didnt know they allowed anything else besides a semi truck at those pumps.......
+Andrew Silva Dodge Ram have Fifty Weels and flatbed or car carrier
I was born and raised in Louisiana and the reason's for the bumpy road's is they were built over marsh land or swamp land they have few hill's but where Louisiana lack's in smooth highway's they sure make up in so many wonderful thing's like culture, great food, great football LSU Tiger's New Orleans Saints Super Bowl Champs great fan's and beautiful women and how could I forget Mardi Gras so be safe and y'all come back now !
Football, is that your excuse.
Dukes of hazard was filmed in the back woods of Georgia also.
Last time i saw a vacuum tube, was 1952 at my mother's favorite department store.
Buen Camino

There's the "Deliverance" Banjo music again. "Squeal like a pig boy".

My home state Georgia

Ty
Thank goodness He didn't invent you that way. You would have a hard time time trying to get glasses :P
Thanks for the video!
Come on Jack we we need some more videos
I looked up some info about smoky and the bandit.Whole bunch more on wikipedia.
"The movie was filmed primarily in Georgia in the cities of McDonough, Jonesboro, and Lithonia. The scenes set in Texarkana were filmed in Jonesboro and the surrounding area, and many of the chase scenes were filmed in the surrounding areas on Highway 54 between Fayetteville and Jonesboro for a majority of the driving scenes, Mundy's Mill Road, Main Street in Jonesboro, Highway 400, I-85, and in McDonough. The scene where they drive through the Shell gas station, was however, filmed in Ojai, California on the corner of Ojai and El Paseo. Much of the surrounding scene comes from that immediate vicinity. The scene at the race track was filmed at Lakewood Speedway at the old Lakewood Fairgrounds on the south side of Atlanta. The roller coaster seen in the movie was the Greyhound. It had not been used for some time and was repainted for the film. It was destroyed in Smokey and the Bandit II and a flashback scene used in the third.[3]"
Looked like spaghetti junction in Atlanta.
kingmike40 Some of it was filmed in Helen Ga. too.
Was that you I saw riding up 85 out of Atl March 25 around 9:00 am?
I miss the days when only toy trucks had plastic hoods. Nice work Jack but you need to get yourself an extended steel hood.
Hey Jack, Duck Commander is in Monroe
What does an owner operator charge per mile?
Jack I hear a lot of drivers complain about having to pay for overnight parking at truck stops how do you feel about staying overnight behind weigh stations I understand that they have been instructed not to knock on the truckers doors for spot D.O.T. inspections whats you take on this?
Did you ever worry about your camera falling off from the trailer? Or maybe you used something that prevented it from doing that.
You know there was a guy that got murdered at that petro. It's been tight there ever since.
I wonder what it would be like if Jack ever met Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty.
How does one finish backing in?
You back in to the door and set your air brakes.
Does anybody know the name of the song 10:19 - 11:18??
Jack Waldenmaier (14:06)
I live in Jackson. I know where this place is at.
I don't live in Jackson and have no idea where your talking about 😂😂😂😂
Some was filmed in Helen Ga.
Hey Jack, just keep on coming East and you will be close to my house. My hometown is known for the Masters Golf Tournament and James Brown. Any guess?
Discusta
James Brown is from N.Augusta S.C.
I rarely see you grocery shopping - I thought living out of the truck stops was expensive- why do you eat out so much?
How much does this guy make a year?
+Shawn Hinton ~ Make...Like Billy Cannon?
+Shawn Hinton ~ You won't get rich but you can make an honest living.
Right mudflap is not perfect!
Lol jack you really don't like La.roads huh?
the movie was shot mostly around Jonesboro and McDonough, GA... check out this site: smokeyandthebanditmodels.com/site/06d51ee480ba4159834ab19bb200528e/default?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsmokeyandthebanditmodels.com%2FMovie_Locations.php#2910
I-20 is the worst interstate to drive on. That road has more pits and craters than the damn MOON!
When is the last time you've been to the moon ? It's been paved over
South bro
"Junior, remind me when we get home to slap your Mama" The Great Buford T. Justice.......
I just watched a re-run of that movie and he said when he gets home I'm gonna give your mamma a punch right in the mouth. LOL, that was one of my favorite movies, probably have watched it 4-5 times already.:-)
42northside Hahaha youre right one of funniest movies ever!!!
Archie Bunker
Jack, you ought to modify a "selfie stick" rather than hold your arm out while walking with your camera, just a thought
God, with all these taxes they take off people, it's like getting money out of your stingy uncle when the roads needs to be fixed, yet they seem to have a problem spending money on defense. And major roads shouldn't be built out of concrete, it's the cheapest method of building roads, and just doesn't have the give of bitumen. I worked on a road crew for a while so I kind of know what I'm talking about.
+shoominati23 ~ In the deep south the roads are built by the lowest bidder. Even the highest quality Asphalt roads (with the proper sub-base) down 'cheer gets wavy in the lateral direction with the weight of heavy trucks. If not maintained VERY regularly the Asphalt roads get dangerous and will deflect a car easily. Interstate Highway "I-10" through the Suburbs of New Orleans was excavated to -12, then refilled with river-sand (pumped in "dredge" sand from the Mississippi River), then a layer of clam-shells then concrete. Clam-shell was one of the best aggregates going down here but they ceased the dredging activities in Lake Pontchartrain due to "Pollution" and now use limestone brought up from Mexico. Think about the cost of limestone from 500 miles away in lieu of local materials. Don't follow the money too closely, though, 'cause they'll take a man out.
dude your turn signal is friggin annoying...
The steering wheel squeak is more annoying to me.
another good one Jack..keep them coming..
