When I drove a Volvo I really liked it. Was a real smooth shifting truck, and I thought the interior was laid out really good. I shift is the way to go now days I think. Better fuel economy which means more $ in the O/O pocket. Lord knows we all need more of that. Enjoyed the video. Thanks. Be safe.
You sir, are the master of backing up, very impressed. I've tried watching other trucking vlogs but keep coming back to yours because of the family friendly content, explanation of what you do and your laid back demeanour. ending with the kids was awesome. keep them coming.
As a subscriber, I've got a RUclips-notification 12 minutes ago. But I've watched "Avocado" on Sunday (in Germany) 😁 - RUclips seems to be late, but I try my best to minimize time-lags. One of my very YT-channel-favorites.
When the shipper guys told you to go get a tare weight slip I wanted to reach through my computer and throttle them! You could have been standing there bleeding to death and they would've probably ignored you. I could feel your pain as you politely told them how nice it would've been to know about needing the scale ticket BEFORE you drove there! But you couldn't tell them how you really felt because you never would've gotten loaded. Those are the kinds of things that make trucking so "interesting". Great video Jack. You are the consummate professional.
That's smart I will use that on the bumpy roads we have up here in Canada, only a matter of time before I hit a bump hard enough I screw something up on my body (spine). That's crazy Jack they really need to do something for drivers, 4 hours wait time just to need to leave and go else where, then go get a scale ticket. Would have lost my composer at that point, good for you for having that restraint. Now I haul local, 12 hours a day pounding the pavement. Biggest difference from odr and local I find is with odr you can take a break. Local is 60 to 65 hours a week, week in and out. I miss having a week off once in a blue moon. All the best fella
Great trip Jack! Glad you got away from the Texas border. Even though I'm a Texan, I don't go near the border. Really enjoyed the trip though. Nice backing job at your destination. Love avocados with salt and lemon and I was wondering if you, "like Ishift"? LOL, just kidding. From the sound, it shifts very smoothly, and I can see why you like it. Hope you're enjoying GATS.. Thanks once again for sharing your adventures. You're the best!
To answer your question about which one I think is better Arbys or Wendys, I think neither is great, I want the old Mom and Pop Truck Stop food back, the ones where they made the homemade good food. So tired of all these fast food places in the stops now !!!.
Old Swede sounds quieter in the cab like she's better insulated from road noise and her interior has no squeaking, even on bumpy roads. The tiny fridge and table in the back, plus a little coffee maker are all nice upgrade perks. Nothing against Old Red though. I was just at a birthday party last weekend where my friend had grilled a whole bunch of boxed pre-made burgers. Not all of them were consumed. I asked her what she was going to do with all those extra burgers. She told me she was just going to crumble them up and make chili out of it. I had never thought of using left over burgers that way.
You gotta love Reefer! Why did you decide to do reefer? I'm guessing more load options but still....reefer is ok if your drop and hooking but live loads and wash outs take time.
another good trip jack, good skills, nice purple Peterbilt, not many of those here in NZ, loved the boys reaction to the avocados!, keep on trucking cobber!
Wendy's. And I remember the Blue Angels as well... They were the "headliners" at the annual open house at NAS Meridian near where I grew up. They haven't held the open house for many years [since 9/11?] and I would love to see the BAs again!
Jacket like to take a minute and say thank you I was forced into retirement miss the road certainly appreciate you taking us along and explaining things little something I look forward to when you get a new video out just want to sincerely say thank you stay safe out there
wow I worked at a Wendy's about 35 years ago and that is wrong if they had that many unsold hamburgers. At the store I was at we always cooked the hamburgers fresh and put them into the chili pot, I guess it all depended on the store and management but ours was always fresh square hamburger meat I still love Wendy's chili. Great show Indiana love the new red of your truck and as always keep on truckin....
DEF or for us in Australia ( Adblue ) is actually made from 30ish percent urea which gives it that urine smell that you talked about. Helps break down the diesel exhaust fumes. 👍 Love the videos keep it up
what do you like most about IShift? and I thought you held your arm up to demonstrate how cool I shift is and you don't have to shift with your right arm. Love the videos Jack, Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank You Jack first first for a great vid and 2nd for the avocado test by those poor kids. I have never tried these fruits, they just look yucky to me, so now I know I will never try these things LOL
A fresh avocado with just a little salt is delicious. Love it when they are 2/$1.00 here in Texas. Do they still give free orange juice at that Florida welcome center?
I guess you'll be loading in Yuma & Nogales before long. Could you tell the folks about the recorder they throw in the trailer to track the load temperature please? Just one more thing a trucker has to put up with. Loaded lettuce many times at Dole in Marina, CA. Always loaded me too heavy. Great video!
One thing I have noticed about your videos and I don't know if it is this way with all trucks now-a-days. It is quiet. I used to ride along with my uncle back in the 60's and we basically had to shout at each other to be heard.
Why do you need to go to a scale to balance your weight? In europe almost all trucks have it built in so you can see the weight on each axle on the dashboard screen.
Sir Indiana Jack !! Howed the truck show go ??? Did you get to meet some of your viewers & Subscribers ???? You didn't post a video of the show !! Have a good day/night or whatever !!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!
Hey Jack, is Ishift just a different name for an automatic? If their is a difference what is it? Love your videos Jack, keep the coming, be safe out there.
Wow that's interesting I used to buy frozen vegetables for a supermarket chain in Jersey all our broccoli came out of Mexico and trucks would get held up at the border at least a day
Hey Jack do you like the Ishift? Kidding........Yes you do!! Seriously, aren't avocados grown in Florida?? Thank you for sharing your adventures. Marion.
I love your videos Jack. They are the nicest trucking videos I watch. I know you like your is high. My question is do you think it gets you better mileage then if you were manual shifting? I know that is hard to answer, just wondered what you feelings are about it.
Jack, you deal with the problems at the warehouses professionally. Trucking is an adventure!
When I drove a Volvo I really liked it. Was a real smooth shifting truck, and I thought the interior was laid out really good. I shift is the way to go now days I think. Better fuel economy which means more $ in the O/O pocket. Lord knows we all need more of that. Enjoyed the video. Thanks. Be safe.
the dancing avocados are gold!
Loooool. Love this video. Beautiful home, beautiful kids, and the expressions at the end. Too funny.
I enjoy all your videos Indiana Jack. Keep on trucking. God Bless.

THANK U FOR ALL THESE WONDERFUL VIDEOS.
Another enjoyable and well edited video.
Love your pop up avacados...great editing on your vids....keep on trucking IJ!!
Great video made me laugh!! Drive safe look forward to the next one!!
The kids were hilarious! Avocados... definatly an acquired taste.

It was good to meet you at NATS
Jack love the new truck. As always awesome videos!!!
Jack that's the best looking Volvo I've seen, congrats..be safe..
It's true about Wendy's chilli. Sometimes the hamburger meat is a week or two old kept in the refrigerator and boiled.
Once again thanks for the ride. I'll hurry up and wait for your next one, you know what I mean, Lol

You should open one, Brother! You'd make a mint, and sleep in your bed every night...
That is some fancy back'n up there Mr. Jack...Oh that is beautiful truck by the way to, Be safe and have a day 👍👍👍👍

Guacamole with cottage cheese mixed in it tastes great for dipping

Enjoyed the ride. I like Wendy’s and Arby’s also. Chili is always good to eat and Wendy’s chili is very good. Have a nice weekend and be safe.
Good content as always, the bloopers at the end was great!
DEF or for us in Australia ( Adblue ) is actually made from 30ish percent urea which gives it that urine smell that you talked about. Helps break down the diesel exhaust fumes. 👍
Love the videos keep it up
That was great Jack! 👍

What a blessing you are we here in Maine eat avocado all the time at $1.49 each hope you got paid grate for the trip
Wow that's expensive!
what do you like most about IShift? and I thought you held your arm up to demonstrate how cool I shift is and you don't have to shift with your right arm. Love the videos Jack, Thank you for sharing with us.

Jack loves Ishift he tells a few time. Thanks Jack for sharing Ishift.
You have such a polished intro, terrific
Nice job of backing. How do you like the reefer gig?
Holy guacamole! That's a LOT of avocados. . .Also, I take it that you are kind of fond of iShift. . .LOL
Good looking truck......
Watched this as I was cutting up an avocado to add on top of my Flying J chef salad. Good stuff
A little grumpy have a snickers take care Indianajack good video
Do you like Ishift? Please respond
Just curious if the weight is what the broker said it would be. If not, do you renegotiate rates for added fuel consumption
Dang you are grumpy this trip Jack lol
At night when it is hot or cold. Do u idle the truck to use the AC or Heat to keep comfortable?
So what do you think about a shift?
Thank You Jack first first for a great vid and 2nd for the avocado test by those poor kids. I have never tried these fruits, they just look yucky to me, so now I know I will never try these things LOL
Great video. Teacher from GATS.
A great video mr. Indiana Jack
A fresh avocado with just a little salt is delicious. Love it when they are 2/$1.00 here in Texas. Do they still give free orange juice at that Florida welcome center?
Bill Forcht ~ Avacado here in New Zealand $1 for one.
With that weight, did you have to zap the bipper to the d5 station?
After you eat that Windy's chili you will need to use the Fab breeze. Lol
Avocados with pink hymelain sea salt taste awesome.
I guess you'll be loading in Yuma & Nogales before long. Could you tell the folks about the recorder they throw in the trailer to track the load temperature please? Just one more thing a trucker has to put up with. Loaded lettuce many times at Dole in Marina, CA. Always loaded me too heavy. Great video!
Hi Jack, interesting vlogs.
Talking about DEF as you call it, we call it Adblue, in the UK, I've been told it made out of pigs piss!?!
Happy Trails.
I have heard all kind of truck stop rumors as to what it actually is. :-)
One thing I have noticed about your videos and I don't know if it is this way with all trucks now-a-days. It is quiet. I used to ride along with my uncle back in the 60's and we basically had to shout at each other to be heard.
If that visit in the office had been at night I would of been scared. Be safe.
Why do you need to go to a scale to balance your weight? In europe almost all trucks have it built in so you can see the weight on each axle on the dashboard screen.
Indiana Jack, does Florida have a check station like Calif. for fruit and veggies coming from Mexico?
Yes it's a very similar set up and they have a lot more of them than California.
wonder if they realize flying insects can cross lines on a map? :) even the ones that crawl.
Hey jack I only have one question ...do you like I-Shift lol haha
love your videos jack.and my son drives a ishift he said he likes it but finds it boring .but he said it's all about making a living
hey Jack looks like u got a new truck
Do you put a bid on your load or you just take the normal price
Do you really like "I-Shift" Jack? lol! love your videos and the info you give on each one!
Do you like the ISHIFT LOL. I like Arby's. I would like to know if you weight matches what you broker told you would be picking up?
Thank you for sharing!
But jack.....how do you feel about I-shift
Do you feel there's a Hugh difference between refrigerated and dry van freight and which would you rather do? Thanks.
Another great video jack 👌
Hi Jack, you were in Edinburg Texas, I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland. You should come and visit :)
I loves it. Do you like the i shift ? lol
Sir Indiana Jack !! Howed the truck show go ??? Did you get to meet some of your viewers & Subscribers ???? You didn't post a video of the show !! Have a good day/night or whatever !!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!
Hey Jack, is Ishift just a different name for an automatic? If their is a difference what is it? Love your videos Jack, keep the coming, be safe out there.
How old was the tiger ?
Wow, can you imagine doing this run in the 1950's. No AC, No power steering, No air ride seats.
I loved trucking in Florida. They just need more truck stops. Bigger ones for more truck parking.
Jack,how do you really feel about Ishift????????????
Does Swede have Variable Geometry Turbocharger or Turbo Compounding ?
I take it jack that you like I shift ha ha great film my friend you take it easy
So, you like Ishift?
You know your driver window makes you look like you are turning the wheel backwards.. Can you flip the image horizontally?
What is I-Shift?
Do you like IShift Jack?
Wow that's interesting I used to buy frozen vegetables for a supermarket chain in Jersey all our broccoli came out of Mexico and trucks would get held up at the border at least a day
Hey Jack do you like the Ishift? Kidding........Yes you do!!
Seriously, aren't avocados grown in Florida?? Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Marion.
Most of those types for fruits and vegetables come from the rgv and mexico because the winters are so short they grow almost all year around.
Diesel exhaust fluid......is called ADBLUE...here in the UK. I shift is great.
I love your videos Jack. They are the nicest trucking videos I watch. I know you like your is high. My question is do you think it gets you better mileage then if you were manual shifting? I know that is hard to answer, just wondered what you feelings are about it.
