- A scenic trip through the mountains of Oregon's Highway 97, up to Walla Walla, Washington and back down to California. Indiana Jack even pulls through one of the Oregon State scales that love to look at us trucks.
First time in about 15 years I have seen the Columbia river gorge from a trucker view. I drove it about twice a month for 5 years. Sure brings back the memories. thanks Jack
I gotta say I have watched a lot of other truckers videos and indianajacktrucker is the best I have viewd. No bashing other drivers,companies and etc. You truly are a inspiration. Thanks again.
I'm a local tanker truck driver here in fayetteville nc and I really enjoy your videos. It makes me wanna get on the open road sometimes. Keep the videos rolling jack!!
The vehicle you were behind was a TerraGator. They use it to apply dry pellet fertilizer and lime to fields with air pushing the product through the fold out booms on the sides, also the vehicle cannot go over 35 mph as it is geared to go at low speeds in fields.
Great video Jack. Love your trips out West. Liked the new music too.
Is it bothersome when drivers take more than enough room to park when they could park closer and another rig or 2-3 could park in the space they take up? Are some trailer problems easier to overlook than others? Congrats on the two-year physical check-up! Do you like Ritz or Hi-Ho crackers with your tuna? Enjoy you're vids Jack, drive safely.
after you pulled out of the truck stop, I just loved how your Nav said Stay on this road for A while, now thats classic, normally navs tell ya how many miles you are supposed to go on the road that you turned on....
Your films are definitely better than the other truck drivers on RUclips. Your effort and attention to quality show brightly.
I enjoyed seeing the railroad maintenance of way equipment on the railroad tracks. :D
Jack, I really enjoyed the scenery along the Columbia River. Thank you for making great videos and as always, entertaining!
Oregon sure looks like a nice place.I like the way you look at the world,your movies definitely have an identifiable quality of their own which makes them a little quirkier than others.I think its cause you take the time to stand down and chillax with a coffee,and take in the view.Nice movie and God bless you Mr Jack
nice film as always
your DR. visit sure was better than mine , i found out about 1 mth ago now since i was to this Dr.
that i had throat cancer , that's why my voice was disappearing on me i'm down to a whisper as i write this i start treatments this coming week i hope. DR. said that thinking caught it in time , i have to go to DR. every day for 7 weeks for a 10 min treatment or so he said
i sure as heck hope he is right on every thing he has told me so far.
t.c. be safe out there
BEST VLOG IN THE TRUCKING COMMUNITY.
Jim jam no one can do it better
agreed...
Gps....awhile....distance to go...hahaaa!!!
7:56 I drove by this truck stop in Madras the other day, parking lot is new black top, You might not ever come through here again but thought about this video.
love your videos Jack, stay safe on those roads
Bill Alicea Thank you Bill!
Why do they take 5hours to load your trailer that's nuts. If the order is ready to ship you would think it would be staged and ready to load. Use to haul SC Johnson products they had me loaded up in 20 minutes.....Was it loose stacking or pallets???Great video Jack the scenery was great.........what does that beeping sound come thru to ask you to scale the load???
Steven Herrera it's odd they do that. I was able unload and reload a trailer in less than an hour. must be fork lift drivers that are to lazy to figure it out. but I guess that's the difference between me an "operator" compare to someone who simply "drives" a forklift.
I sure miss Jack and Big Red...
Great film as usual, Jack. I don't understand folks who touch the thumbs down icon.... What's not to like?!?!
Be safe. Keep em comin'.
Jim Gamble They are grumpy? :-) I don't know.
These long form videos are fantastick!
Worth the wait.
Thank You
from Gatineau, Quebec.
Michael Oakley I will have to try and through some french in the mix! :-) Thanks for watching.
Hey! Un fan du Quebec! Je viens du Nouveau-Brunswick!! Awesome video as always Jack :)
+indianajacktrucker
hi Sir, you always do the good video, i have watched all yours videos, some of them that i watched several times, really good! A salut from a chinese who lives in Montreal, Quebec. Bienvenue au Québec si possible haha!
祝你一路平安！
hi Jack great video as always drive safe keep well,,,, best regards,,,,
Good Morning Jack, I can see that your passion to produce great video's is only equal to your passion for trucking, a great combination in my opinion. dispatch could have given a heads up on that load? tc
Congradulations on passing your physical Jack. We are fortunate that you will be with us and enjoy more videos. I remember watching your 1st video....the videography has gotten better and better with each film.....old red seems to be ok.....no loss of fluids is a good sign....i always go back to the old films they never get old buddy.....safe travels......
Im not a trucker, but i love learning about them. Great vids! What do you do if someone takes your empty before you do?
You are screwed and have to go find another one. Thanks for watching.
+indianajacktrucker oh thats not good lol watched 5 of your videos today. cant wait to see them all lol
I just stumbled across your channel. My dad was a regional trucker for 45 years starting in the mid 1940s. I heard all the stories. Your channel gives more insight into dad's life behind the wheel. Thank you very much for that and I really like the format. Keep up the great work Jack.
I just did a similar run through there last trip. It was pretty cool to see you hit up a few spots I did stop at on that trip.
Was that US 730 you were on when you were stuck behind that slow moving truck? I had to go to Pasco, and I was considering going that way there, but instead took I-82 up, The way you went was the route I couldve taken instead. Pretty cool to get a look at alternate route that you took.
Also, OR, WA and ID have a different Pre-Pass system. Theirs is called NorPass. From what I understand, because of this all of us with Pre-Pass get red lighted all the time because were not on the NorPass system.
Either way, love the videos, theyre great. I can show others where I go because it seems you go to many places I go to often. It is cool to see places I go through often and the experience of going through there on your videos. Keep up the excellent work driver!
I live in Hermiston Oregon. I know this is an older video and i know you're busy and probably won't see this but if so, I just have to know....where did you park off 395 in Hermiston to grab some Starbucks? Right on 207 on the side of the road?
Jack, Thanks for the trip. I enjoyed it very much and a new subscriber in the past month or so. I am currently in the Army and will retire from the Army next year with 22yrs of service and looking to start trucking. I tell you those truck are a lot nicer living then some places I lived on 5 deployments. I am originally from Maine and can't wait to get on the road. Thanks again Jack. Best Regards. Jay.
That large tyred, slow moving three wheeled vehicle that held you up for a while on the road is called a Terragator. They are used to apply products to the fields such as fertilizer, spray, manure etc. Large tyres mean low ground pressure = less soil compaction when carrying heavy weights. Less soil compaction generally means better root growth and development = better crop yields.
Dan Whiteford We see all sorts of weird things out here on the road. It had tank tires. Thanks for the info!
One more comment Professor, about, "The Oregon Loop", the music was excellent. Great traveling sounds..Thank you again Sir!
Hey Jack will 97 take you to Hermiston Oregon ? Oops you just answered my question the Last time I was in Hermiston Oregon I got robbed while walking to my truck this was back in 1987when I was running doubles with my brother they had just 1 cop and car it was $450 cash I had just cashed a comcheck and this guy followed me out of this Greyhound bus station around back and stuck a gun in my face never did find him I figured he needed to get on a bus real bad but if he had just asked for help I probably would have bought him a bus ticket but that's how it goes sometime but anyway Jack I had to tell you my story the route 97 and the river kind of looked familiar but great film today thanks for the ride along be safe and stay away from bus stations please. ~Jimm601

Jack, I teamed with my brother for almost 12 years until he passed in 2017. I no longer drive, it’s awesome to see all these places again. So many miles so many memories. Thank you sir!
hi jack and greetings from finland! your videos are awesome :)
Janne Karhu Thanks Janne. Are you a trucker there?
indianajacktrucker yes i have been trucker since 1995 and sometimes i drive bus too, but trucks are my life ;)
The best trucking video man. Not only is the info great, you can plan a trip of your own by seeing some of the magnificent country you transverse. Oregon is definitely on my list.
Jack since you mentioned Louistion Idaho I will never forget the first time I came down Louistion Hill it scared the crap out of me !
You have the most interesting videos to watch. Thank you for making them.
jack that was a fertilizer truck you had to pass. x-farmer here so i have seen them before.
Amtrak runs on the Washington side of the river, So track on the left.
what GPS are you using?awesome videos, keep on trucking!
good video sir.
Our country is so beautiful! Especially Cali, Oregon & Washington!!!! Thx Indiana Jack!
is it posted in 2015???? how come the quality of video is so good?~?!?!?!?! it seems like new!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all of your video are awesome! ty indiana jack!!!
Great vids Jack, great memories. At 74 I'm just this Sunday gone fully retired from driving a wagon. I was lucky enough to spend some time driving in the US and Canada. Wonderful way to see the states.
Keep on trucking.
Thanks. We, Jr (age 3.5) & I (age 72.5), enjoy your travails. Suggestion for drinking coffee: use a long straw & you can keep your eyes on the road.
Thx for the vid Jack! Enjoyed it ..... Well done as usual. Glad to hear your DOT physical went well .... green light for two more years! Tomorrow's forecast -- Blue Skies and a Tailwind!
Hey Jack from Saskatchewan, Canada. I enjoy watching your vlogs! I like the little pop up pics you put in there. It adds to the video. I also watch “Trucker Josh” and “JBG TRAVELS” ! They are interesting also. John (JBG TRAVELS) goes into a lot of detail about what he does when trucking from backing up to drop & hook to fueling, etc. he shows how to drop a trailer. Pulling the pin, unhooking the lines and dropping the dolley legs, etc. check him out if you have time. He is a fillipino and a really great guy! Safe travels, Jack ! Peace ✌🏻️
have driven that route MANY a time when I used to run for RLT back in the 90s going back and forth from Pendleton.
beautiful ride on the 97, 95,395 and the 84.
love Chumult, Bend, Biggs, Madras.
Shaniko is cool too.
hey Jack :
I'm from Indiana myself : up by the lake : Ive been watching your Trucking Video's here on you tube : in case you head back over near the Donner Pass Area I-80 Westbound : the current weather up there today was : 70 Degrees, Partly Cloudy, winds w. at 7 mph. visibility 10 miles
Just to lend an unwanted hand... Madras is pronounced "MAD-ris" (kind of like mattress with d's). Ha. I won't dirty my tires on the Pilot pavement at Chemult - one of their pump jockeys gave me a ration unnecessarily when the pumps over-charged me. I'll stop at the PRIDE station just up the road for diesel. The rest stop south of town takes care of my other needs. Thanks for the neat videos.
hey jack, if you ever have 2 minutes to spare and want to know a thing or two about all those coolees you are driving by check out "2 MINUTE GEOLOGY" that gentleman is to the geo-sciences what you are to transportation, KEEP ON TRUCKIN !
Hello Indiana Jack! Love your reports together with wunderful landscapes and interesting infos from a truckers life. Just fantastic! But now I can´t write any longer, I have to watch more videos of you :-)! Wish you always good driving! Many greetings from Switzerland
Hi Jack ime a retired trucker from Manchester ,in the UK , really enjoy your videos,I get the old Rand McNally road map out and it's just like being sat alongside you in the cab, I drove in Canada and the eastern states back in the 60s for Allied Van Lines out of Toronto, the truck I had back then was an old International with a gas engine,it was a lot different than your present Volvo.keep that camera rolling Jack it's very much appreciated, Regards Alec, ex Air Products tanker driver from Carrington Depot, Manchester.
you would be pulled over in Georgia. You are a safe driver who uses your blinkers 😉...5 hrs to load? I can do it in 1 with a pallet jack and I'm 60. Keep the shiny side up my friend..PEACE
Very cool. im from Klamath falls Oregon just 72 miles south of Chemult Oregon, Now living on the coast of Washington. Going thru there next week to visit Family, I just starting watching your videos there great,,
Back in 1966-1972, I lived in Madras. I can't believe how many people mispronounce Madras.
Shaniko is considered a bit of a ghost town. A tiny fraction of what it used to be. It's pronounced SHAN-ick-o. It used to be the terminal end of a railroad that went down to the columbia river, the purpose of which was to haul WOOL from the sheep farmers. Unfortunately, the climate changed in the early 1900's and the rains stopped, and so no good rains for growing forage. Thus, Shaniko lost the railroad, and then fell into disuse and all the people moved away. It's now just a ghost town / tourist trap.
15:15 or so that aluminum/gold mine truck got awful close... made me tense up.
hi indiana,sr im a big,big fan of you,i really love your videos,i watch 3 or 4 everyday,some of them i watched 5 times,you have the best trucker chanel here in youtube,my respect to you,you have been in lakeland florida sometimes but i never was lucky to see you,only one question,why do you take so long to load new videos?we are waiting here everyday lol,we need more people like you here in this world,thank you sr for everything.
As always another AWESOME video well done!....... keep up the great work . you got me hooked and now going to go get my class1 and do long haul CA to US looking forward to the adventure and been inspired by you Jack! hope i can be as good as you.......PS going to add a scrubbing brush to wash them dirty kids down as well as the shipping and receiving signs as well as the paint for bay lines to your christmas list.......... really enjoying your videos awesome watching .......the Irish rover..... going to spread his wings and chase that dream thanks Jack ......
My sister lives in Corvallis, OR. Looking forward to trucking in Oregon someday.... Enjoy your videos!
That odd looking thing you were following from Hermiston toward Walla Walla was a farmer's spray buggy. These things distribute fertilizer.
Good video Jack ..
After watching truckin' videos from the US and Europe, and ship spotting movies that have one monster ship after another steaming into Rotterdam for instance, and the log jam of trucks at the cross channel ports in Holland, France and the UK ..
Things just don't seem right.. they say every item on the shelves of Australia's largest supermarket chain, has made the 540 mile journey between Melbourne and Sydney at least seven times, it looks like seaborne traffic is run on the same lines.
American trucking no less, the yards with hundreds of "empties" and the trucks rollin' in every direction, gives rise to suspicion someone is financing massive and totally unnecessary truck movements.
One company you might see a lot on 97 is Heyl Truck Lines. They're always trucking between Alberta and California. Also, interesting that the speed limit signs in Oregon omit "limit". Thanks for a great film.
If I am not mistaken, on of the episodes of "Movin' On" with Claude Akins was filmed in Shaniko. Of only 44 shows, I think I saw them all multiple times when it was on Antenna TV or MeTV a couple years ago. Show from early 70s.
Chili??? In a Truck?? You should be called Dangerous Jack...adventurous Jack could be an under estimate down the road
I always enjoy your videos Jack. I'm glad you went back to the longer duration times. I look forward the next one, until then be safe out there.
Hey Jack
Great video of Oregon scenery. By the way, how about a report on how that completely re-built come-a-long motor of yours is holding up. And, would you spend the dough to do it again?, or spend even more dough to trade up to a new one?
Happy trails to you!
Mark
Another nice trip with you Jack. I'm glad your healthy. I think your videos help keep my blood pressure down. Whats a good guy like you living in a state like California?
How is your engine doing Jack? Really like your productions you do a great job with them. I drove 70 miles to work each day for 36 years and now don't want to drive to the store but really enjoy riding with you. Be safe and enjoy life.
dude, I live just a couple miles south of Bend. I only wish it was more friendly to truckers
Great video Indiana Jack!! Wishing you safe travels and thanks for taking us on the ride my friend. GOD BLESS!!

Great Video Jack, Glad to hear you are in good health for another couple of years,I think if you keep having your quiet moments and drink loads of coffee your good for many years to come, Stay lucky Cheers from Thailand....
Thanks for the videos Jack. I'm not a truck driver but have friends who are. Now I understand the difficulties they have. I did drive a school bus for ten years after I retired. I bet your cargo never talks back to you. Thanks again.
Cool video of the Oregon loop.
Now I know what one of the route's I'll end up running when my 49' International is restored that isn't far from me here in Kelso, Wa.
I'm still not sure if I wanna restore it as a log truck or just put a 5th wheel on it. If I put it back to being a logger, I can contract locally with Fibre or Weyerhaeuser.
Prepass or not, those pains in tne a@* wanna look at all the pretty trucks. Just big kids who can't gey a better, more friendly job.Gotta lotta enemies and few friends!!!!
Hi Jack. Good stuff from your camera and the sound is great. I enjoyed it and looking forward for the next video. The last shot of the mountain was awesome. Greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Hahhahhah, it is March 11, 2021. The "Toilet Paper Tails" scenario was true last year! Lol, who knew. Love that area of US.
indiana jack is a cool guy that enjoys trucking.if you can enjoy what you do,then by all means that is what you should do and this is where he belongs that is what i think..see you next time,your friend RON.....
Seems like you're never in the south-eastern states like:Florida,Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, or Arkansas
Great videos. I love the music in them. There perfect. I noticed the three thumbs down. Are those the guys that got stuck behind you following that feed truck. :)
same with georgia with us swifties i only get a greenlight when the scales are closed lol and oregon loves giving me level 3's got 4 of em in one trip including one in cali it was a total time waster from the 2nd one on
Excellent video Jack! We appreciate your taking us along through such scenic countryside.
Indiana I have been watching you for about four months, my name is calvin and I will start school in florida by the 9th of Aug, I like your videos a lot you open my eyes to some things..
Another great video, Thanks. The scenery along that river was wonderful. I guess they pull you into the scales to justify paying the guy that sits there. I think that's how it works.
Hi Jack, Keep trucking for the next 2 years as I would miss our great video's if you decide to retire. Love the Oregon loop drive, you sure see some great country side.
There's a route I've never been on! As always, your videos are great and I enjoy the trips! I do believe that's the most I've seen ya talk on the cb! 10-4!
I’ve stayed at that truck stop. I think the locals call that city “MA-drus”, not “muh-DRAS”.
Great video, I made the same run to the distribution center in Hermiston last month. US-97 isn't a whole lot of fun in the snow.
Top video jack, fantastic scenery, it must be great to be able to do those big miles, over here in the uk it's so congested. thanks again, stay safe man. pat. n.yorks. uk.
Great,great vid! It was like watching a movie! Thanks again, be safe.........
Love all your old films as always! I can’t remember seeing you bump your tires on a pre trip or picking up a trailer. I will always remember those sounds!
Dear Indiana jack
I'm not a trucker but your trucking videos are great,it's a great way to see the USA , the scenery is beautiful and you are such a nice guy a real gent.
Great video! Very beautiful scenery out there. Thanks for sharing
Do ya just travel across states picken dropping Do ya get 2 choose ya routes
I remember when they had all that controversy about the spotted owl and, which curtailed the logging industry. But that was so long ago it wouldn't have effected the lack of toilet paper shortage on the west cost.
that truck with the wide tires was a fertilizer truck, used to spreading stuff on growing crops. the tires are wide enough to spread the vehicles weight over a large enough area as to not damage the crops they are dusting. loved the video, new to your channel. i live in the pnw, and i was broke down in hermiston hauling a load of coke out of wilsonville to missoula.
Jack you just described the guy that robbed me I swear I didn't make up this story it sounds like deja vu or the twilight zone !
That middle lane you drive in with the yellow lines on each side, what is that lane for? Im not from US, so i never seen that before. Nice video, thank you.
NICE TO SEE THIS PROGRAM I STARTED TRUCKING IN CALIFORNIA IN 1986 DELIVERING CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT.
Hi Jack, many thanks for yet another great video. Keep on trucking, good luck from the UK.
