Another great movie Jack , I've just got back from the states I done 8960 miles in three weeks and whilst ai was there ai went to the landstar party in Jacksonville , it was the best holiday ever. Every red volvo I passed I looked up for you but to no avail. Take care and keep up the good work
10-4 on the anger and filth on CB radio anymore! It was that way years ago when I stopped trucking, and obviously it hasn't gotten any better! Thank you Jack for keeping your channel clean, respectable and informative.
Jack, I love the sounds of trucks in truck stops, we went from Oregon to Detroit MI. and back, got an experience of truck stop life for a couple of weeks, big asset to all us vacationers and truckers, Great videos!!
Hi Jack, I sure hope the Volvo rebuilt engine is running well ! I watch as you broke down but I knew you would overcome the ordeal because you seem to be a man of faith just remember bad things happen to good people but God always is near and shows us the way, God bless and be safe.
love your shows wish you had more of them drove back in the early 70s most truck back then where cab overs still like them drove mcgraw-edison out of wisconsin keep up the good work and stay well
Jack, You've hit the nail on the head with this one... Through Flagstaff with the San Franciso Peaks, the music and your camera placement, (Makes Red look shiny and clean). All in all a perfect day on the road.
hi there jack. i have been watching your videos for some time now and i just would like to say they are great. thank you for not using bad language, and for your positive attitude. keep trucking.
Hi Jack. I enjoy watching trucker vlogs. You by far have the best ones for content, vlog length (longer is better to me), as well as information. Safe travels!
I really enjoy your videos. I have been watching them for quite a wild now and subscribe to the channel. The other trucker that I like to watch is Trucker Josh in Canada. Of course what makes his so interesting is his dogs. What makes yours so interesting is the variety of areas that you travel and your dry humor. Thank you. JLT
Hey jack I really enjoy watching your vids because you haul a lot of west coast stuff. I've primarily been east of the Mississippi during my time as a trucker. I've always wanted to haul the west . Hopefully I'll get the chance one day! Thanks bud! Keep on trucking!
thriving...i was laughing when u said that....Buddy got outta Lubbock as quick as possible and never went back! EXCELLENT advice 'bout being a professional driver. Beautiful here in Cali...rig looks great when washed! drive safely.
Another great video Jack. Cannot wait till i bring the family over to Florida again next summer, just need to save hard lol. Your videos make me want to tour the US but that will have to wait till the kids have flown the nest. Thanks again Jack for the great footage and inspiration for me to travel.
always love your videos you do a awesome job and you still inspire me to be a trucker which i'll never give up that dream i will be rollin one of these days
That’s so cool, when you made this video I was just few months away from graduating from high school and moving there to attend Howard College! I was hoping you’d stop there. And I agree, that TA is a little, how do I put this delicately... dirty! Be safe out there!
Jack your content is so amazing you should be your own TV channel charging money. I leave Indiana Jack playing all day on my computer. Starting CDL school next month in Canada. I hope I can be a driver with your sensibilities and positive approach to the business and staying safe.
Indiana Jack,At first I thought...Nestle did spiked your tire,but when you mentioned ,,your spare was snatched in Selma,,,,then that thief,not only got your spare,but sabotaged that frontal tire,,,,,,,Great work Trucker,,,side video camera,,,,,,,looking great ,not easy hauling a '53 box
Losing two tires is a tough deal jack. The music fitted the adventure rather well too. Wish that i can live in SoCal. My sister and cousins reside in various parts of the state as well...California is home to you after all....thats great...good deal on your diet changes.
Albert... Im glad you like the music. Just some trivia, the original kid jumping on the trampoline saying "you are watching adventures in trucking" is the son of the drummer in this band. I have known the mom for over 30 years. The kid just made a new one and is all grown up now so you will see him soon.
Oh yes the boy on the trampoline...he is athletic jack...old red is ok? I hope so...jack all that work on the motor and injectors and you have loss of power and low fuel mileage.....pheonix is responsible to give you a new and improved product. Somehow they should be made aware of it.....safe travels jack...video was excellent
Do a little video about Bucksnort, TN and how you can get down there going west but not going east. Just a little food stop with a couple gas stations. "Good morning Bucksnort, Tennessee."
Amen on the "trash-talk" on CB radio Jack,the last few years I was on the road the only time I turned on my CB was to listen for a shipper/receiver to assign me a door or let me know my papers were ready to go.
What you need for that snow box is some 1" self-tapping screws i use them all day at work and i go through frame steel just like you would be.Just go right through that flange and the truck frame and that box wouldn't move.
Thanks for this new video. It let me dream of America. I live in Belgium, Europa. That's a whole different country, i can tell you. Sorry about my english, it's a little bit difficult for me to write in english.
Question Jack" Do you have an Automatic shift system or do you double clutch, or float your gears? What ever you do, its smooth. I had an Old Stalk Cutter with a shiny 290 Cummins with a 3 speed Eaton rear end. 16 gears forward. I could walk faster than my truck would crawl. It was an old house moving truck I pulled a Cement Tanker for 10 years. All I could afford at the time, I sat in a Warehouse for 8 years watching trucks back up to Alfords Warehouse loading docks in Dallas, TX & knew I could back a truck better than a lot of them truckers so I rented me a U Haul truck & got my CDL's at 37, all 3 kids were grown & off I went. I went through 3 more trucks during my 25 years of trucking & finally retired at 62. I miss the smell of Diesel & love the sound of the rumble of stacks so really enjoy your videos, I just watched you coming from Lubbock down I-35 right past my house in Red Oak, TX. Bless you for keeping an Ole Heifers memories alive. Wish your videos had smell-a-vision, lol Keep on trucking as long as you can, When you retire I can bet you will miss it. I DO! Hope someone out there might remember me, I run I-45 to Houston & back 5 days a week hauling dry bulk cement, Give me a Hello if you read this, Please? An Ole Mother Trucker Jodi Blon
I.Jack, I'm a newer subscriber and enjoy your videos very much. Since I'm new....just got my CDL a few weeks back and busy interviewing right now. Would you have some advice for us rookies on pulling a 53' trailer....say any tips would be great. I'm comfortable with it so far but would like to pick your brain....experience if possible. Just for the record, I am a young 64 years of age so take it easy on me...I'm just a kid! Thanks I.Jack! Kenny from San Clemente, CA.
Man, rip off another tyre, this is awful, Your cost is gone up horribly. Hope that is the last. Wishing you better luck. Be safe. Thinking of you and B T W, your videos are awesome. Thanks for taking us along for the R I D E......
Having a back haul secured is something you like to try to count on, but most of us who drove for any length of time had this happen to us from time to time. And when we are owner operators it is fuel money right out of our pockets, but it is part of it and you just dead head to another one close by if possible.
I know CB's. One radio is not more powerful than another, they all run at 4 Watts, the legal limit. It won't do much of any good to get a Standard CB tune-up LOL, not unless you're going to run a kicker, which is absolutely necessary. Trying to get a CB from 4 to 5 Watts as useless, you have to double the output to gain one more pound, so, you have to go from 4 to 8 watts to gain a pound and then you have to go from 8 to 16, etc etc. When driving a trailer, your greatest receive and transmit is going to be towards the rear because the trailer is where your ground plane is. The ground plane deal is a little vague on 18 wheelers and is more accurate with a single-vehicle. A lot of cb shops will take your money to tune up your radio and overdrive it and or cause distortion and it's because they either want your money or they don't know.
Hello Jack, I really enjoy your vlogs. Thank you for the time and effort you put forth. I would like to invite you to our VFW post in Orlando when you are in town to show you the lives you reach with your videos and how they are appreciated. Please contact if interested.
HELLO JACK,DID YOU EVER DRIVE THE ICE ROADS..THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE YOU LAUGH JUST LIKE ONE OF THE TRUKERS....I DO LOVE TRAVELING WITH YOU....NEW BERN,NC HERE
I am watching this video in 2017, so I understand if the question is not answered: if you are a trucker and you want the loads, is the idea that you dead head to a pick up location while other truckers may not be motivated to do so and wait. The idea is a bit like uber drivers who troll around key areas for fares whereas others will go to a nearby city.
Always check your CB antenna condition. Cobra 29 LX is a good rig, but it will not works if antenna is broken or even misplaced. Antenna have an impedance and a resonance, and those guys who tune such antennas - always trying to set SWR=1 that makes your radio works 100% of capable TX power.
As luck would have it, you found the issue before it became a MAJOR one stuck on the interstate far from service. Sad, your cost is outta this world. Wishing best of luck from here on in Jack.
Can you tell me what a donkey engine fitted to a step-deck trailer is for? I've asked one of your highway colleagues and find the answer is questionable! Possibly humerous!!
If you had the spare, how would it have changed the situation? They still had to come out and remount the tire. It seems like just carrying dead weight
Another great movie Jack , I've just got back from the states I done 8960 miles in three weeks and whilst ai was there ai went to the landstar party in Jacksonville , it was the best holiday ever. Every red volvo I passed I looked up for you but to no avail. Take care and keep up the good work

Even grim Jack is a joy to watch. Thanks again Jack for these videos and the professionalism you bring to trucking.
So many great angles and I LOVE the music! You always make such great content!
Thanks Josh! Hope you are doing well!
Hi Jack, I sure hope the Volvo rebuilt engine is running well ! I watch as you broke down but I knew you would overcome the ordeal because you seem to be a man of faith just remember bad things happen to good people but God always is near and shows us the way, God bless and be safe.

Losing two tires is a tough deal jack. The music fitted the adventure rather well too. Wish that i can live in SoCal. My sister and cousins reside in various parts of the state as well...California is home to you after all....thats great...good deal on your diet changes.
Albert... Im glad you like the music. Just some trivia, the original kid jumping on the trampoline saying "you are watching adventures in trucking" is the son of the drummer in this band. I have known the mom for over 30 years. The kid just made a new one and is all grown up now so you will see him soon.
Oh yes the boy on the trampoline...he is athletic jack...old red is ok? I hope so...jack all that work on the motor and injectors and you have loss of power and low fuel mileage.....pheonix is responsible to give you a new and improved product. Somehow they should be made aware of it.....safe travels jack...video was excellent
love you videos Jack, just like being alone for the ride.
excellent vlog buddie, you are a champ! love your positive outlook
Great video...really enjoyed. Sorry for all your misfortunes on this journey. Some great life lessens learnt. Keep up the good work.
It's not been your week Jack.
That looked like a nice VT880 you parked next to at that last truck stop :-)
Take care, Drew
Great Video! Love the angles. I'm also an electrician that's getting into trucking but I'm definitely not making $100,000 a year.
You guys on RUclips makes it look so easy that. But it the experience. To bad we don't have video of your first week driving solo
Do a little video about Bucksnort, TN and how you can get down there going west but not going east. Just a little food stop with a couple gas stations. "Good morning Bucksnort, Tennessee."
Glad to see your truck fix .
Amen on the "trash-talk" on CB radio Jack,the last few years I was on the road the only time I turned on my CB was to listen for a shipper/receiver to assign me a door or let me know my papers were ready to go.
My son the trucker bought a TRUCKERS GPS he loves it !! t keeps him off the side roads and more on the hwy .
What you need for that snow box is some 1" self-tapping screws i use them all day at work and i go through frame steel just like you would be.Just go right through that flange and the truck frame and that box wouldn't move.
Nice video, your fans appreciate the time you put into making your videos.
Thanks for this new video. It let me dream of America. I live in Belgium, Europa. That's a whole different country, i can tell you. Sorry about my english, it's a little bit difficult for me to write in english.
Really enjoy your videos / movies. Do you have to deal with that loud rattle when you encounter all bumps? What's causing it?

Another great video Jack. What type of mounts do you use for your outside shots? Thanks. WLBS
really looking out for your cb vlog
Just dawned on me how many times I stopped in that Flying J. That's one steep hill to pull going west.
Big Springs, TX stayed there before it's a tight little place. Haha
I.Jack,

Hi JACK LOVE THE VIDEOS NEVEER SEE YOU USE THE CB ?
Having a back haul secured is something you like to try to count on, but most of us who drove for any length of time had this happen to us from time to time. And when we are owner operators it is fuel money right out of our pockets, but it is part of it and you just dead head to another one close by if possible.
Great stuff sir. like it.
Thank you Jack!

It's solid state, OG will know what that means.
Hi Jack. Love to ride with you again. Lucky your fronttire didn't exploded, it looks pretty bad. Stay safe my friend.
Thanks Elmer... I was glad it didn't explode too.... That can make a truck go belly up.
I need some Vans man !!
Thank you Jack
Hello Jack, I really enjoy your vlogs. Thank you for the time and effort you put forth. I would like to invite you to our VFW post in Orlando when you are in town to show you the lives you reach with your videos and how they are appreciated. Please contact if interested.
I was in sales with Nestle USA for twenty years, yes tight ass company. Could be why they are the big dog.
HELLO JACK,DID YOU EVER DRIVE THE ICE ROADS..THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE YOU LAUGH JUST LIKE ONE OF THE TRUKERS....I DO LOVE TRAVELING WITH YOU....NEW BERN,NC HERE

Big Springs 60miles or so west of my home town Sweeteater home sick love when your in The Lone Star State
What do you think about $6500 down and $350 a week for brand new 2011 Prostar International with 0 miles, 14.8 engine and sleeper?
Oh yeah, you didn't mention whether or not you had a hard time at Nestle getting loaded.
Norman, They were cordial this time unlike the times in the past. Thanks for asking.
As luck would have it, you found the issue before it became a MAJOR one stuck on the interstate far from service. Sad, your cost is outta this world. Wishing best of luck from here on in Jack.
Surprised with all thise cameras you never put one on your blind side to help with backing... how come?
Motor, tire stolen, blown tire. That's three. you should be good for a while! Keep smiling!
Can you tell me what a donkey engine fitted to a step-deck trailer is for? I've asked one of your highway colleagues and find the answer is questionable! Possibly humerous!!
♫Happiness is Lubbock Texas in my rear view mirror ♫
How much do you make a year being an owner operator? 100g's
what kind of miles do you average per week?
Murphys Law , If it can go wrong it will . Keep Smilin Jack .
That true.
Regardless of what brand of water you like, if you'll check its owned by Nestle including the brand I like, Ozarka.
If you had the spare, how would it have changed the situation? They still had to come out and remount the tire. It seems like just carrying dead weight
