When I am driving my car and the traffic starts to stress, I think of you Jack and how calm you are driving a truck. It truthfully calms me down. Thanks Jack
for an observant traveller,there could be worse things to keep close to our hearts than good faith Mr Jack.I hope that one day I get to live that otr lifestyle for a few years or more
Joliet is where I learned to drive a truck, specifically just south of that I-55/I-80 interchange in Channahon, IL. Watching your videos brings back a lot of fond trucking memories to me. Thanks for posting this video! ~Liked and Subbed~
Was wondering about you and here you are posting today. Glad to see you're well and keeping busy. yup, like to see the new camera angles too. Drive safely.
this was pretty exciting for me because that stretch of road in Charleston was where I first drove a semi on the street...and that DC in Olney was where I was based for my first driving job.
Two things stand out about Jacks videos. His mind is sharp and not bordering on the foolish like many trucker video comments throughout their presentations. Also the use of Jacks video editing is outstanding, and makes for a professional presentation, always to be enjoyed. Thank you Jack. Next time you go through Lincoln NE, I buy coffee!
+Gary Mayo I totally agree,at first his personality was a little dry but it really works and by the end of the first video I watched I was glad I gave him a chance.He has superior content and seems to genuinely care about his profession and viewers and it shows by the effort he puts into things.He's in it for the long haul so to speak and not just to create a ruckus and hype to get his face out there...........I have found Sergie Dratchev (sp?) of Heavy Haul TV to also do a great job on his videos and I would put his content and video quality up there with IndianaJack so if you're looking for another quality channel its worth checking out and fun to see his progression in video work and trucking as a owner operator in Canada.
Good to see you Jack, love the ending. You missed my house by a half hour, should have headed west towards Mattoon Il. Safe travels and Gods blessings.
God bless you sir. I am an european and I watched a lot of hours at your videos. I'm 19 years old and I love trucks since I was 9. My dream is to be able to move in USA and to be a truck driver..but the very hard part is to get in America :( I really like to watch your videos and you do a great job. Good luck sir
Great VLOG Jack as always. BEST TRUCKING VLOGS ON THE WEB. The wife and I love you jack. you ever come through the 10 exit 200 in Az. let us now in advance and we will buy you dinner. would be a honor to meet you.
I’ve been doing this for the past 2 years and always enjoy watching your videos. Sometimes it feels like travelling along with you seeing places going places and I know live really is a great adventure. This is the first time for me to send you a comment. The reason is your ending about Genesis 28:20 (Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear). Please elaborate/explain? Drive safely and stay out of trouble. Greetings from The Netherlands
There are not many things as soothing as the open road. Aside from lousy asphalt, of course. I'm getting close to retirement as an engineer and wish to take my young daughter touring the States in an RV. Your films are inspiring. Thank you and keep up the great work. Questions: How many cameras do you use, are they rolling for the entire trip, how long does it take to edit one segment and what software do you use to edit/ superimpose you onto the forward looking view?
Around the 8 minute mark, when you were looking for the Subway, I started thinking that looks like mighty familiar territory. You were on the Prairie View Road exit, in Mahomet, IL.
in that beggining clip where you were sitting in the sleeper you were sitting at a target and there was a kohls there to that location looks like yorkville il if that was yorkville il that is only 10 minutes from me if you were there man thats the closest youve ever been to me
you're bobtailing to Olney, IL. I'm assuming Walmart dc. Finding a walmart dc is easy. go to poi, then select the town, then go to bottom of screen to quick stops and select walmart. it will bring all walmarts in the area including the dc's
Hey Jack, that is the Rockport Generating Station. It is a coal-fired power plant. It does have two cooling towers that look very similar to the ones often used by Nuclear plants. But it also has one of the largest smokestacks in the world coming in at 1038 feet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockport_Power_Plant
+Rick Dunaway Coal cheaper but they trying run Coal out of USA. True ... Power bills be 5X within 10 years what I heard. Rich people want get richer. Average American has no say so.
Been down Rt 130 thru Olney many times on my way to Florida. I usually take I-64 over to Evansville then down the Pennyrile Parkway to I-24 to I-65 thru Montgomery, Al. and US 231 to Tallahassee, Fl.
hey Jack, long time listener first time caller. Thanks for the great vids. How do truckers check their back up lights when they are the only ones with the vehicle?
I watch on both a windows based machine and a Apple Macbook and have the same problem with the audio. Music is much louder than at least the narrative when you are outside....always a great ride though
Oh, i don't know why, i always thought you had an I-shift. I think it was from a video you did where you mentioned you may look INTO an I-shift when you were checking out a new truck, so of course my brain latched onto that train track.
great videos Jack, I just cant imagine the frustration at having to bobtail to some tim buck too place.... you seem to keep your cool but is that an editing technique?
hi Indiana jack this is my frist time I like you mini movie about trucking I am from connericut I like the way setup the cameras different angles my name is mo north will is my nickname I am hook up with your show
Most of the music I use including that song... Is music provided to us by TH-cam to use in our presentations. They do not allow me to use any copyrighted music. If you go to your TH-cam account and look for the tab that says create you will see the songs in that section.
Hola Jack !!! Me gustan sus videos. Lo invito a ver unos videos de algunos camioneros de mexico. "Alex el dery" Sergio mendes shasan" y "El barrabas ok" Será bueno tener Contacto en ambos lados de la frontera. saludos y Buena suerte.
argyll1952 I watch with my home theater system and either the music is too loud or his voice too low. It's needs a bit of basic mixing. A lot of his videos are like that.
You say in this video there are "no empty trailers in Chicago." Doesn't the company know where all their trailers,empty,full,in transit,at the dock,etc. are at all times? Unless I mis-understood you,it seemed like a surprise to you that Chicago didn't have any empties or did you know that beforehand?
th-cam.com/video/_6Q8_rKviGU/w-d-xo.html Here is a link to the cameras are use... There is a second half to it and the link can be found in the comments below the first video.
It's really just personal preference on the truck you drive. I like all trucks and don't really prefer one brand over the other. There are many who disagree with me however. Volvo is a good truck for fuel economy, comfort, and turning radius. The reason there are so many people that hate them is that they are associated with the big carriers.
Charleston is home of Eastern Illinois University. Many famous graduates from there. Jim Edgar = Governor of Illinois. Great athletes too - Mike Shanahan, Sean Payton, Tony Romo, Jimmy Garoppolo.
Thanks for the update on those famous people. When I was a kid my mom and dad made me come with them on all the Lincoln sightseeing stuff in Illinois. Now I wish I had paid closer attention. LOL
every time i bobtail it cost me more money for lunch/dinner because i try to find a apple bee's or a lone star steak house...or something i can't normally eat when i have a 53' trailer behind me...
Hi Jack. My advice, never eat at mac Donalds, if you can choose from that shit or subway, please take the healthy stuff. You look much better. Greetings from a huge fan in the Netherlands. Drive save.

Nice tour. I really liked the little history lesson about Lincoln. A very nice touch.
When I am driving my car and the traffic starts to stress, I think of you Jack and how calm you are driving a truck. It truthfully calms me down. Thanks Jack

Hey Jack. There's a Lincoln boyhood home memorial with the log cabin he grew up in off of I64 in southern indiana in case you haven't seen it yet.
Joliet is where I learned to drive a truck, specifically just south of that I-55/I-80 interchange in Channahon, IL. Watching your videos brings back a lot of fond trucking memories to me. Thanks for posting this video! ~Liked and Subbed~

Hey Jack. Nice to see a video again after a time. Stay safe and healthy. Greetings from Sweden
true about the audio! But no complaints-enjoy the videos-nice trucks-now whens the next video coming out!!! Be safe Mr Jack!

I love the shot from the sleeper. I can always count on you for great footage.
Thanks Adam... It's kind of a sweeping view.
Glad to see another video from you.
Good to see you Jack, love the ending. You missed my house by a half hour, should have headed west towards Mattoon Il. Safe travels and Gods blessings.
God bless you sir. I am an european and I watched a lot of hours at your videos. I'm 19 years old and I love trucks since I was 9.

Is that in Tucson? Thanks for the offer.
Casa Grande. Exit 200 is Eloy we live about 10 min .
indianajacktrucker What year model is your truck?

Happy to see more of you Jack, very nice video,different angles view,loved it.
I prefer Subway over Mcdo too. Better for you.
Be safe and healthy
Great editing and different views!!!
Nice to Bobtail for a change,can zip around and go to different places to eat! Small lots you can fit in!
Around the 8 minute mark, when you were looking for the Subway, I started thinking that looks like mighty familiar territory. You were on the Prairie View Road exit, in Mahomet, IL.
You are correct
Do you get paid for dead head? I love your videos, especially when you talk about the historic sites when you travel thru different cities.
Great Work Jack

It's crazy of all the trailers Knight has, no empties?
Hey Jack, that is the Rockport Generating Station. It is a coal-fired power plant. It does have two cooling towers that look very similar to the ones often used by Nuclear plants. But it also has one of the largest smokestacks in the world coming in at 1038 feet.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockport_Power_Plant
Yes, many people have been informing me of that... Thanks for the information, I stand corrected.
+Rick Dunaway
Coal cheaper but they trying run Coal out of USA.
True ... Power bills be 5X within 10 years what I heard.
Rich people want get richer. Average American has no say so.
short but sweet Jack :-)
Liked the ending Jack.
Been down Rt 130 thru Olney many times on my way to Florida. I usually take I-64 over to Evansville then down the Pennyrile Parkway to I-24 to I-65 thru Montgomery, Al. and US 231 to Tallahassee, Fl.
hey Jack, long time listener first time caller. Thanks for the great vids. How do truckers check their back up lights when they are the only ones with the vehicle?
never a boring moment jack
I watch on both a windows based machine and a Apple Macbook and have the same problem with the audio. Music is much louder than at least the narrative when you are outside....always a great ride though
Oh, i don't know why, i always thought you had an I-shift. I think it was from a video you did where you mentioned you may look INTO an I-shift when you were checking out a new truck, so of course my brain latched onto that train track.
good video
That's why I will be a truck driver I love the road jack!!
So you are still subject to your driving times when you bobtail? It is not that you are just driving to work?
Keep on trucking Jack!
Hey Jack when u had the door opened I noticed u had 2 pedals left of the fuel pedal is that so u can double clutch whenever u are shifting gears?
You want some grease on that 5th wheel Jack
That's the winning combination with Subway. You can customize your sandwich.
Is that long deadhead trip at your expense or someone else's when there is no empty trailer available?
So the real huge trucks are all Peterbuilts huh, I thought all US truck brand had those huge ones but not according to the slideshow.
I like those trucks
great videos Jack, I just cant imagine the frustration at having to bobtail to some tim buck too place.... you seem to keep your cool but is that an editing technique?
What brand of GPS? Happy with it?
hi Indiana jack this is my frist time I like you mini movie about trucking I am from connericut I like the way setup the cameras different angles my name is mo north will is my nickname I am hook up with your show
Hi Jack, whats the music at 5:40?
Most of the music I use including that song... Is music provided to us by TH-cam to use in our presentations. They do not allow me to use any copyrighted music. If you go to your TH-cam account and look for the tab that says create you will see the songs in that section.

Just some advise. You really need to normalize your audio. Adjusting my volume every scene. Love your videos regardless.
Did not notice any problems with the audio.
argyll1952 I watch with my home theater system and either the music is too loud or his voice too low. It's needs a bit of basic mixing. A lot of his videos are like that.
I have no problem with that
Sebastien Hache what kind of speakers you using
Just watched it over mobile and Apple headphones
You say in this video there are "no empty trailers in Chicago."
Doesn't the company know where all their trailers,empty,full,in transit,at the dock,etc. are at all times?
Unless I mis-understood you,it seemed like a surprise to you that Chicago didn't have any empties or did you know that beforehand?
but Lincoln was born in Kentucky. Lot of people do not know this, it was Hodgenville Ky.
Do you ever skip 2 or 3 gears when dead heading?
Absolutely. LOL
what is ur fuel mileage when u bobtail?
What kind of camera setup do you use ,
th-cam.com/video/_6Q8_rKviGU/w-d-xo.html
Here is a link to the cameras are use... There is a second half to it and the link can be found in the comments below the first video.
I'm like you, subway has a huge selection to choose from and healthier for people than McD's.
Is Volvo the way to go as a truck?
It's really just personal preference on the truck you drive. I like all trucks and don't really prefer one brand over the other. There are many who disagree with me however. Volvo is a good truck for fuel economy, comfort, and turning radius. The reason there are so many people that hate them is that they are associated with the big carriers.
thanks for the info, drive safe.

Say Jack How much is the wifi for your Rand mc
nally
That is not a nuclear plant @12:20. It is coal fired. Still love the videos though.
R.R. Donnelly prints the yellow and white pages.
Looked like a coal powered plant to me. Huge one in Winfield WV.
👍👍👍
I like the Genesis 28:20. I agree.
plz put all the vids in some sort of order..numbers tired o the old crap of trying to find recent
Like subway ok, but I tend to head for CHESTERS!!
Hi Jack. My advice, never eat at mac Donalds, if you can choose from that shit or subway, please take the healthy stuff. You look much better. Greetings from a huge fan in the Netherlands. Drive save.
Economy is pretty bad when there is no loads in Chicago.
Lately I've been having trouble getting loads out of Chicago... Not really sure why.
Bad audio levels
First like and comment (:
