    All of your films are awesome! My favorite thing about it is that you have multiples GoPros, so, multiple angles. Love it!

    Went on holiday to the states back in 1990 and crossed over Hoover Dam, on the way to Las Vegas from the Grand Canyon. We stopped and had a tour all inside of it. Great videos Jack look forward to all of them.

    Great video, I have been to HOOVER DAM at the start of the new bridge construction, I have video of the CRANE on top of the pilar building the bridge, could not figure out how they got them there. Very nice highway. Love BOULDER CITY. Scotty, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

    Before I retired from the trucking industry in 2015, after 38 years, I made many trips from Phoenix up Hwy 60 to Wickenburg, then old Hwy 93 to I-40 to Kingman, then onto Laughlin, Nv. Wished I had a hundred dollar bill for every night I spent at the Kingman TA! Such a beautiful ride, especially when they rebuilt the highway and made it four lane! Your video brings back great memories...memories I'll get to re-live in the near future when I go full time living in my Roadtrek 190! God Bless! Waving from Houston, Texas! (2/6/2018)

    I enjoy watching your videos. Ive been to Las Vegas once and I like to go there again on home time for a few days and win some $$ if im lucky, take in a show, hang out at the amusement centers: mini-golf, go-cart racing, arcade, and shop. a big stress reliever.

    On my way to Vegas in the 90's, I lost my shift tower on the last horseshoe turn on Hoover dam. Luckily the truck didn't lug and made it to the pullover. Called on the cb for security "Columbo." I told him what I needed for a block of wood (to keep clutch pedal pushed in for A/C)...it's as if he cut it just for me. lol THAT was an adventure, not to be repeated. Dispatcher got a tongue lashing for giving me a time-critical load (free shipping if appt. time wasn't made) with an older truck.

    A quick way to shine plastic headlight lenses: Use deep woods Off insect repellent spray. Just spray it on and rub it off with a soft cloth. Do this twice for best results. Make sure the product contains "Deet". Saves big$$$!

    Another great video Indiana Jack. Would be great to see more from you as you don't seem to be as regular with the videos these days i guess very busy?
    Do you go into California IJ as i have seen on some trucker vlogs that some companies wont go into California because of the D.O.T is it a big problem over there? You drive mostly in the West/Central states i think.?
    Safe Trucking Indiana Jack!

    there should be a number to call so they can know your there. At that store you wait longer trying to check out at the cash registers...LOL
    I have had my old car headlights done that way. Now after I did that I got more for it when I traded my car for my new Buick! Appearance means a lot but being able to see at night is better!

  • @josephlineberger443
    @josephlineberger443 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another easy way to clean headlight lenses. Deep woods Off Insect Spray with “Deet”. Spray it on, rub the yellow film off with a cotton towel. Repeat process. This stuff works and saves big bucks!

  • @ZipKickGo
    @ZipKickGo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a completely unrelated topic that popped into my head and I'm not sure if you have a video on it but; do you have any stories on past experiences of being being stolen from, close calls, some situations in the past you thought were shady, maybe even scary moments? Stories on things you could pass down on other drivers or newbies, things we could know. Thanks for the new video!

      When my father was a trucker. His truck got jumped on by Lot lizards (prostitutes) and their pimps. He would just drive until the person jumped or fell off his truck. He carried a rifle in his truck but he never wanted to put a hole in his door.

  • @theedesperado75
    @theedesperado75 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    just have to put my $.02 in. when I started driving in 96 the TA in Kingman was 76. I remember my first time there I heard drivers talking about Hoover Dam being closed because of filming a national lampoon movie. Also on July forth 97 I was going from Shriner, TX to Vegas and I-40 was shut down for hours because of a shooting at the flying J never was big on stopping there.

  • @donotneed2250
    @donotneed2250 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you tried Deep Woods Off on your headlights? Tried it on my wife's '93 Pontiac and it worked better than I thought it wood. I came across a video one night on TH-cam on how to do it. I would show this one to my wife but I don't want her to start crying about Kingman.

    G'day Jack you do a really good job of these vids you must have very good editing soft ware. One thing I have noticed through out your filming is the state of your roads over there which are very good, a lot of concrete used not like over here in Oz. What is a flying "J" keep safe kind regards John from Tasmania Australia

      When I was in the USAF (1973-79), I was stationed at Cannon AFB, Clovis NM. I remermber the waining days of Whiting Bros. stations along I-40/US 66. They had a secret discount on gasoline if you showed an active-duty or current Reserve/Guard military ID...retirees too. BTW, Stuckey's had that secret discount, too....at 15%!

    I heard rubbing toothpaste on the headlights helps get rid of the fogginess in the plastic. I've never tried it though. Who knows!

    • @Howard1939
      @Howard1939 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      3M makes a cleaner for the headlight covers that most auto & truck parts stores carry for the do-it-yourself cleaning, all that's needed is a power drill or buffer, the 3 M kits include buffer pads and applicators.. (I haven't used them, but seen application demo on PBS Motor Week, these are essentially the same products used by dealers & body shops to clean modern headlights.)

    • @bitethedevil
      @bitethedevil 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Howard1939
      I've used the 3M stuff. It works. Takes some elbow grease if the headlights are really bad but so much work if you catch them early.

  • @stevengriffith436
    @stevengriffith436 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember the first and only time I rode over the Damm. Fourth of July weekend in 97 I was running team and we picked up a load of beer from shriner, TX going to coors in Las Vegas. Got to i-40 and heard on the cb that there was a man hunt for somebody that had just rob the Kmart and flying j and shot and killed a driver. We sat on 40 for several hours. We shut down at the TA the old 76 in kingman so we could see the Damm in daylight had plenty of time on the load. To this day I don't like that flying j in kingman. Ps you couldn't fit 2 trucks on the Damm so you had get on the cb and coordinate with on coming trucks..js

    #95 I-11, I was on that route, 2 years ago. Nice short cut. Next time, be careful when sliding into a space---look before you leap. I wheeled ships through locks, you brace against the sliding wall and gently, very slow ahead. Nothing to it!

    Here's a quick and cheap way to clean your headlights: Buy a can of Off Backwoods insect spray. Spray it on the lens a rub it off with a towel. Do this twice for best results. Sure beats the cost of the kits & the con-men.

    One point Jack makes in this video is about the plastic headlight lenses .... Maybe not important to meant, but to me one of the craziest things DOT ever made acceptable ..... on all vehicles, but ESPECIALLY on commercial vehicles! Tempered glass sealed beams worked GREAT for decades .... Plastic headlights is to me, one of the most ignorant moves ever made. I miss glass lenses!!!
