Wished, there were much more truckers like him : less accidents, less road rage, less dangerous speeding -- but more friendly humouristic sympathy on the road :) Keep on trucking YOUR way, dear Jack !
I'm a retired trucker and the cities that I HATED to drive through was Atlanta, New York City and that whole conglomeration there and Chicago. Oh....and of course Detroit because of the really rough roads. I do enjoy watching your videos and thanks for making them. I do miss the road. I'd also surely buy an air freshener that has the "Old truck" smell. Keep up with the videos.
I am Hispanic and also a trucker and I've been watching your videos for a while now this is the first time I comment.videos are great.i watch because you show respect to everyone.
I hate Atlanta traffic. I retired the end of 2016 and bought an RV. It is terrible having to come and go out of here every time I want to take a trip. Another great video! Thanks!
I live outside Atlanta, GA and fully agree with you about the congestion/traffic. It is funny, following you all over the country to see you on GA 400, a road my wife takes to work everyday and I am very familiar with.
That was a long day Jack. But, I enjoyed it as usual. Thank you again for taking us along with you. It looks like your setting up roots in the Orlando area with your nice Coleman and all. I hope you will be continuing with your OTR travels to the west. Safe travels sir. I look forward to many more trips. And, thank you again for moving America.
Always happy to see a new video uploaded by you. Also excited to see you driving around my neck of the woods around central florida just on the off chance i'll run into you.
great video Jack. I used to retread truck tires for a living took great pride in helping the big rigs move could you touch a little on tire maintenance that you do?
your a cool guy love your adventures im a getting into the trucking industry soon i am learning a lot from you please keep up the good work keep rollin on
Ah, Georgia! Now you're in my neck of the woods. Re: Atlanta, all I can tell you is welcome to our world, brah. I've had buddies who drove in LA traffic who said that Atlanta and the drivers are worse. Good film. Stay safe and keep rolling. Happy Thanksgiving in advance to you and yours.
Indiana Jack, I drove for 25 years out of the Chicago area and settled in Memphis, TN as an owner of a Chicago Hot Dog restaurant here in Memphis and I'm retired now due to a few small strokes that I've had, but man do I ever miss it (The road). I started driving in the early 70's fresh out of high school, in those days it was fun as hell but I learned a lot from it that's for sure. I really enjoy watching your videos and can relate with some of them. Jimmy's the name, I go by Dogzilla. Take it easy as you travel and keep the video's coming, cause I'm watching.
I have watched a lot of truckn videos ,and I have watched a lot of Super Trucker videos, and I have watched a lot of Indianajack trucker videos. To those that are new to truckn or those that are just curious about truckn I suggest ya watch INDIANAJACK Trucker, He is definetly a Professional Truck Driver.
I used to hate those multi-drop loads...specially the Office Max loads going into the San Francisco Bay area...some of those docks were really bad to get in and out of. Sears stores too.........
i just arrived back home in europe from a vacation in the Orlando area. we parked at the terrain of the same hotel you were staying to visit old town. when we parked i did see a red Volvo truck parked there. were you there the weekend before Halloween?
How many years at 52 years old would it take me to retire comfortably in a mobile home park just paying lot rent at $290 a month if I sign on with a lease company? I have CDL with tanker endorsement.
I'm from Cumming Jack and used to drive for TMC flatbed. Where did you deliver to in this video to Cumming? I'm probably right down the road when this video was being filmed.
Some hotels still give us a discount. If you want to stay in a flea infested one it's probably about 30 or $40 a night. I don't sleep well in those. LOL
Hey Jack great video as always. Can you tell me what camera you use to film the outside shots, and how they are mounted. I,m thinking of doing something like this on my truck thanks.
i drove a truck mostly super loads. saw all kinds of stuff. the last year i drove i got a Go pro and never seen nothing worth recording. thats about right lol
I'm guessing being a O/O your truck is not governed. Ours are set at 63mph. Too slow I believe, as we get passed by almost everyone. I work for a very large national LTL Carrier. How do you feel about slow governed trucks?
How did Los Angeles solve (or at least make it's problem half tenable) it's traffic problem? surely they could compulsively reclaim some tracts of land and create some freeway interchanges to ease the congestion? But that's happened here in Australia with cities that have started off small and were never envisaged to grow big, and have , over the years , had suburb after suburb tacked onto them but never had the roads or utilities planned to support the size city they would become in 150 years.
As someone who lives in a city with layered freeways... they can be a pain and make traffic much much worse. Usually the layers have different exits and they don't say which level has which exits and so people get confused and make last minute knee jerk choices on which level they want or they slow way down, but either way more traffic. now if each level had the same exits I can see it helping traffic a lot... go from 4 lanes to 8 lanes and it doesn't matter which level you take... that makes sense buuuuuttttt texas road engineers don't think like that... instead they do it in a way to confuse drivers and put on ramps in the middle of a highway and put 3 separate freeway junctions within 1/4 mile of each other and to many other things that I'm not gonna list. You prob know the issues i'm talking with since i-10 goes right through san antonio and i'm sure you have passed through here plenty of times.
I think you are joking but I have made it very clear that I like Wabash trailers better. All the Great Dane trailers that I pull are always broken. Maybe not all, but a bigger percentage.
I wish they'd make a scent tree that smelled like late 70's / early 80's Harley exhaust, I may be off on the years but people with bikes should know what I'm relating to. My 1976 Chevy stepside exhaust smells like that as well.
i got food poisoning from eating food from a supertarget is colorado a few years back.. never again will i buy any food from them... i was down for 36 hrs..
Jack. I would have told the receiver, " I need your name and company I.D. or badge number and also I need you to sign this BOL that YOU refused this load. I will take this load back to our company drop yard and YOU or this COMPANY will pay $400.00 per day storage on this load. We will attempt another delivery date at OUR discretion, NOT yours". After 35 years of trucking, I have been in this same situation a few times. I noticed , you fulfilled your obligation on pick up and delivery times.... It's on them now. MAKE THEM PAY.
I think that happened to me with Sherman Williams at a UNION warehouse in Pennsylvania. Bad attitudes towards truckers and slow people rule the world for sure!
Are u see the cake. ..........yummy and look like taste goog......I tried one and shopping tonight..........the bread here have different taste......u.see......try some food new........
Jack, with all the #po number problems and empty trailer issues and basic hurdles u have to overcome,, your dispatcher sucks , furthermore when i see 1 of your vids hauling hay, you are getting screwed left and right by knight's dispatch or in some cases, lack of dispatch. landstar would be a much better company to work for

Maybe I will make one of those air fresheners. Lol.... No one would understand except us truckers.
Old truck smell = piss and sweat. 😄😄
I am Hispanic and also a trucker and I've been watching your videos for a while now this is the first time I comment.videos are great.i watch because you show respect to everyone.
Thanks Americo. Is that your real name? Its very unique, I have never heard it before. THANKS FOR WATCHING.
The view over the old town! My favorite in Kissimmee Florida at 5:16 ! Too bad I got so sick so I couldnt go there this year !
I hate Atlanta traffic. I retired the end of 2016 and bought an RV. It is terrible having to come and go out of here every time I want to take a trip. Another great video! Thanks!

Thanks for the video. You never make a bad one. Hardly ever have someone dislike them. I look forward to seeing your next one.
Always enjoyable watching an experienced professional like yourself. Thanks
Always like watching your films when i have down time.
Always happy to see a new video uploaded by you. Also excited to see you driving around my neck of the woods around central florida just on the off chance i'll run into you.
great video Jack. I used to retread truck tires for a living took great pride in helping the big rigs move could you touch a little on tire maintenance that you do?
Just started watching your videos a couple of days ago and have really enjoyed them. Keep up the good work and stay safe bud!

They should give you a bonus Jack. Your videos are the reason I drive for the same company.
Love your videos Jack, be Safe out there, looking forward to the next one
Going through Atl. Listen to 750 am WSB. Traffic every 15 in morning and evening rush, 30 rest of day !!
Ah, Georgia! Now you're in my neck of the woods.
Re: Atlanta, all I can tell you is welcome to our world, brah. I've had buddies who drove in LA traffic who said that Atlanta and the drivers are worse.

Maybe I will stop by your restaurant sometime I still like hot dogs.
+indianajacktrucker My restaurant has been closed for some time due to the stroke I had.
I have watched a lot of truckn videos ,and I have watched a lot of Super Trucker videos, and I have watched a lot of Indianajack trucker videos. To those that are new to truckn or those that are just curious about truckn I suggest ya watch INDIANAJACK Trucker, He is definetly a Professional Truck Driver.
+Carl Austin I Second that
Wow Carl, Thanks. The Super Truckers don't like my videos so I am honored.
AMEN Mary
indianajacktrucker That's good, It's the super truckers all other drivers need to stay away from.
Great video and thanks for the ride :) Stay safe out there Jack.
Always nice videos IJ . Thanks , Stay Safe!
Like you always say in your title.."Adventures in Trucking"....Thanx for the ride
I used to hate those multi-drop loads...specially the Office Max loads going into the San Francisco Bay area...some of those docks were really bad to get in and out of. Sears stores too.........
I HAVE TO SAY, I LOVE THE WAY, YOU LOVE TRUCKING!.
You do have to YELL ! 😄
Hi Jack. In Belgium are traffic jams daily habit. sometimes you drive 3 hours for 120 km. I think thats almost 80 miles.
Always enjoy hitchhiking on Old Red,stay safe an well.Keep on rolling.
Another great video, Indianajack.
i just arrived back home in europe from a vacation in the Orlando area. we parked at the terrain of the same hotel you were staying to visit old town. when we parked i did see a red Volvo truck parked there. were you there the weekend before Halloween?
No, I was there about a month before Halloween
+indianajacktrucker allright n that case it was another Volvo. drive safe and keep making these great videos. maybe i'll see you some day in the USA.
How many years at 52 years old would it take me to retire comfortably in a mobile home park just paying lot rent at $290 a month if I sign on with a lease company? I have CDL with tanker endorsement.
15:14 Every town and city in England is like that during the rush hour. It's an absolute nightmare.
I rented a car once in England and you are right. I especially didn't like the roundabouts.
I'm from Cumming Jack and used to drive for TMC flatbed. Where did you deliver to in this video to Cumming? I'm probably right down the road when this video was being filmed.
time to sit back and watch the new film :)
11:28 I would have loved to have seen how you got into that tough dock. Oh, well...
+Minalover100 But, You showed us how you got out, which was good. Thanks!!
It was very stressful getting into it and I didn't have the cameras set up and it was pitch dark anyway.
Got It. By the way, I think you're a great trucker and film-maker. Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing your days with all its trial and tribulation. BE safe.
Jack , Its been years sense I traveled. Whats a room in Orlando cost now days and do they give a trucker a break ???????? ...... I'm guessing not
Some hotels still give us a discount. If you want to stay in a flea infested one it's probably about 30 or $40 a night. I don't sleep well in those. LOL
Hey Jack great video as always. Can you tell me what camera you use to film the outside shots, and how they are mounted. I,m thinking of doing something like this on my truck thanks.
All for that water!!! you are definitely the pro! sorry about that Jack!
Thank you for the video ~ thank you for saying the correct name of the place in FL ~ unless you lived they everyone gets it wrong!
My daughter lives slightly north of ATL and traffic is always a PROBLEM. I hate going thru that city.
they are still good to watch
Always a journey thank you Kack
WERE YOU ON A SCHEDULED VACATION THERE IN FLORIDA FOR 6 DAYS?
To solve traffic in Atlanta......have all truck deliver in the middle of the night?
They have all the trucks use the bypass so it creates an extra heavy burden on that loop around the city.
Great video Indiana Jack
i drove a truck mostly super loads. saw all kinds of stuff. the last year i drove i got a Go pro and never seen nothing worth recording. thats about right lol
I'm guessing being a O/O your truck is not governed. Ours are set at 63mph. Too slow I believe, as we get passed by almost everyone. I work for a very large national LTL Carrier. How do you feel about slow governed trucks?
Because of insurance for my truck will only do 70

I use to hate those "multi stop" loads.
Indianajack, may I ask what type of camera(s) are you using in your videos? Beautiful results. Thank you
I made two videos about the cameras are use Dixie. Go back about a year in my videos and you will see them.
Ok will do, thank you on the reply. Be safe & never drive faster than your angel can fly ;)
I like the way you said you know where you belong
9:44 holy hell! It's mini-me!
NO such thing as "Holy hell"
OTR Drivers are the true un-sung Heroes. Without them this country shut down in 15 minutes of less.
Great video
The traffic in and around Toronto, ON Canada is also bad
Are used to driving in Toronto and agree with you wholeheartedly.
one question who do you think makes the better trailers Wabash or Great Dane ?
I think you are joking but I have made it very clear that I like Wabash trailers better. All the Great Dane trailers that I pull are always broken. Maybe not all, but a bigger percentage.
ok i guess i miss that video about that sorry , i only ask, because my dad worked for both company's. Thanks for the reply
Ever thought about doing refrigerated or flatbed or even tanker?
If I were 10 years younger I would pull a flatbed but not a reefer.
+indianajacktrucker why not a reefer?
@@indianajack And yet in a later season...WHAT do we find behind your truck?...:)
nice one Jack!
I don't have to take vacation anymore -- I can just watch the videos by Indiana Jack.
Have faith in the old gal, 6 days isn't to long to sit. Shes rested, your rested. Let the journey continue.
Thanks for the video sir
It's almost like Minel hasn't been around since u were in a pro star so no shout out for him :(
I wish they'd make a scent tree that smelled like late 70's / early 80's Harley exhaust, I may be off on the years but people with bikes should know what I'm relating to. My 1976 Chevy stepside exhaust smells like that as well.
+James Ritchie It might have been the sweet smell of lead in leaded gas.
I know what you mean about Atlanta. It's almost as bad as going through N.Y.C. You can waste a good two three hours sometimes
i got food poisoning from eating food from a supertarget is colorado a few years back.. never again will i buy any food from them... i was down for 36 hrs..
thanks jack
Jack. I would have told the receiver, " I need your name and company I.D. or badge number and also I need you to sign this BOL that YOU refused this load.

After 35 years of trucking, I have been in this same situation a few times. I noticed , you fulfilled your obligation on pick up and delivery times.... It's on them now. MAKE THEM PAY.
I like your videos and mostly I like the Bible verse you quoted. thanks
2 hours to drive through a city? Sounds like Toronto.
On a good day.
It starts with an 'O' because of Orlando.
Lol...He knows his stuff.
I think that happened to me with Sherman Williams at a UNION warehouse in Pennsylvania. Bad attitudes towards truckers and slow people rule the world for sure!
Atlanta sounds like Stockholm Sweden. Everybody hates it. Traffic jam and car crashes
Nobody lives in Atlanta, they live around Atlanta. You mistake was taking Ga. 400
lmao!!! "still there"
Ty
I don't want to touch your IPad. I don't need you to write the PO # down. I can just check the computer. Bearing grease!
Are u see the cake. ..........yummy and look like taste goog......I tried one and shopping tonight..........the bread here have different taste......u.see......try some food new........
Self driving car with car pooling and same car shielded ten trips per day so 33% less cars on the road.
Too many cars, not enough concrete.....Lou
They sure are proud of those sandwiches.. !!
It wasn't that good of a sandwich so I shouldn't have been proud of it.
jack you are right man.you are a bit odd ball, old truck smell?
Exactly how will you and your business be compensated for your time because of someone's screw up?
i know what you mean
if all trucks stop delivering to Atlanta then it will look like the living dead in 48hr
Amen!!! I would be for that.
hello indiana jack
this is a video not a film
Digital video.
every time the dispatcher says georgia, its usually always atlanta. hate that place.
Jesus jack . old truck smell ? give me a break!
Yes,that is my real name unfortunately and it's truly unique .lol
pat oswalt or someting ...
Jack, with all the #po number problems and empty trailer issues and basic hurdles u have to overcome,, your dispatcher sucks , furthermore when i see 1 of your vids hauling hay, you are getting screwed left and right by knight's dispatch or in some cases, lack of dispatch. landstar would be a much better company to work for
Sorry didn't finish last comment properly. It's an age thing
yes,that is my real name.lol
Ah, Georgia! Now you're in my neck of the woods.
Re: Atlanta, all I can tell you is welcome to our world, brah. I've had buddies who drove in LA traffic who said that Atlanta and the drivers are worse.
Good film. Stay safe and keep rolling. Happy Thanksgiving in advance to you and yours.
