Great videos with Jack. Today at age of 74 I'm finally fully retiring from truck driving. Passed my HGV Class 1 in 1973 and have been Trucking ever since. Driven all over UK, Europe, Middle East, also a stint in US and Canada. Really like your style man. Keep on Trucking.
Those enclosed docks (Black Holes)are something else aren’t they Jack. And then the sun shining in your face! Ah- another day at work for an exceptional Driver.
Hello Indiana Jack, For us who want to know the daily expenses of being an owner operator, when you get fuel, truck washes, oil changes, etc., would you consider stating the charges. Another video possibly: The day and a life of the office side of the business. From Truck Payments, (What amount of truck payment would be a safe amount to pay and still be profitable. I know this is different for everyone but more for a good rule of thumb), Average Annual Fuel Costs, expected insurance (s), Road Taxes, What Tags and fees, Monthly amounts put aside for maintenance, Annual Gross Income, Average Net income, (Not yours of course but and Idea of what to expect), anything one wouldn't think about when it comes to being an Owner Operator. It's something like myself would like to know when doing the homework before buying into the business of being my own boss. Thanks for your content. I have been following you for a few months now and love your footage. If your ever in the Sacramento, California area, look me up. I'd like to buy ya lunch, Dinner and ask you some questions. Maybe we can do that interview covering the above information. Nine.1.6 - eight.3.8.- two.2.seven.4 Email Pjcrewatgmaildotcom Text me if you think this is a possibility. The nearest truckstop is: Sacramento 49er Travel Plaza 2828 El Centro Rd, Sacramento, CA 95833 Or The nearest Flying J Travel Center 15100 Thornton Rd, Lodi, CA 95242 Thank you Indiana Jack, Paul
Those Asian or European lady bugs bite...enjoyed the Vlog as always...I enjoy the truck stops, the best..I visit them when health allows...Once they are in your blood, the attraction, at least for me is always there!!Tks for the ride, Jack....
Good timing, I woke up early this morning, put on a pot of fresh coffee, and discovered your new video here. Enjoyed my coffee and the video. Hmmmm … possible lot lizards one night, and lady bugs the next day. Lady bugs being the better of the two! Wherever your trucking travels take you, may there be good truck stops with room to park in, fresh hot coffee and delicious foods, quick truck maintenance and service, good roads, fast truck loading and unloading, and of course - no lot lizards! Entertaining videos Indiana Jack! BTW per the Loves.com website, a Love’s Travel Stops opened in Newcastle, Oklahoma last month in October, in case your trucking adventures takes you in that direction.
Jack, you should try 0000 steel wool on your windshield. It does not scratch and is very effective in removing water spots and other debris. The glare must make driving more of a challenge than it ought to be.
Great job on the video mr.indina Jack as always & old red looked good when you got her washed as all ways be safe out there on your adventure from Paris Texas God bless you until time
Hi Indy Jack ,, I've heard you mention Swift Drivers quite a few times ,,, Back in my day of driving it was JB Hunt ,,, Keep It Between the Ditches buddy ,, Tar Heel Jack here
I do follow along on the map, to me it's fun. You need horns like that train on your truck LoL... I always give you a thumbs up and I'm a long time subscriber. Always enjoy riding along with you Jack....
Love Your video’s Jack, and I think I saw You up here a couple weeks ago here passing thru Cowlitz county Washington at the 3-rivers mall, always nice see’ing You when I do though, it just isn’t vary often, but that’s okay- You’ve got a lot more places to deliver to than around here anyway, I enjoy Your videos anyway for now, maybe someday I’ll catch Ya at one of the truck-stops someday to chat. Drive safe my friend! 👍🏽😉
Hi Jack .... It's obvious that Loves is one of your favored truck stops .... I'll 'date myself' by saying that I've never been to a Loves stop, but curiosity is going to make me stop at one whenever I can, just so I can twenty-five their coffee!!! Lol my trucking days consisted if names of truck stops such as 'Husky', 'Skelly', 'Sunoco' and 'TSA' (now TA'), to name a few.
I was flown down to swifts terminal main terminal in fact in Arizona and they had some weird bugs but nothing like texas, their beatle bugs are harder then steel lol Arkansa has limited truck stops and rest areas like 90 miles apart..love the vlogs IJack.. keep the adventures comin::::::::
Jack i live just about an hour southwest of Joplin and on nov. 2 those Lady Bugs came through here by the thousands,they are like everything else i guess, out running the cold weather that is sure to come from the north. Dont drag it back this way please...................Good Video Jack.....
Great music Jack, one of your best vids,btw there is a freight train that goes through downtown tampa bay at 2 am in the morn and it has the loudest horn ive ever heard.
Hi Indiana Jack, I found your channel about a month ago. I really enjoy watching your videos, I wanted to be a trucker when I was a lot younger, I'm 46 by the way. I have 2 chronic lower back pain conditions so there is no way I could be a truck driver.
I gotta love seeing u locally in Kansas City. We don't have a lot of traffic here so I could see why a lot of truckers would love it here. Also FYI u were in Harrisonville Missouri not Hendersonville
Haha.....Even a swift driver can get in to....... Hey Jack, I love your channel. I have never driven a big rig before but a change in plans has brought me back to something I have always dreamed of doing. So, I decided some time ago that I would get my CDL and try my hand at trucking for a while. Your insights have been invaluable to my research. Thanks and keep it up. BTW.....I'm going to drive for Swift for a while. lol.... I promise not to hit your rig If I see you out there. ;-) Jeff
@Indiana Jack. Those little lady bugs are called pagoda beetles they swarm when the harvest soy beans here in the mid west. Safe travels driver. Love watching the videos makes me miss begin on the road.
Indiana Jack, Been watching your videos quite a while and really like them. I am a retired OTR driver myself so I know how different company drivers can get on a guys nerves for some reason or another. That being said, what is your hang up with Swift drivers? I understand it is a starting point for a lot of drivers but I am sure many of them have been trucking for a while and are professionals just like you. As for the new drivers, give them a chance, I am quite sure you were not born with a steering wheel in your mouth. And for the few that are pros and stay with that company for whatever reason, at least show them some respect. You are a pro don't cheapen yourself with these other super trucker attitudes.
I have been from Conway to almost Jonesboro, AR on a 4 lane but I was not driving I do not remember the name of it.I thought US 267 goes from Ash Flat, AR to south LA. I have been to Springfield, MO from Little Rock on US 65. It was not 4 lane then but it may be now.
A couple questions regarding your rental trailer: 1). Do you keep or have kept the same trailer since you left Knight? 2) Do you pay for the trailer by the month or by the amount of miles you pull it each month? 3) Do you see the time when you might buy your own trailer? Enjoy your videos - almost make me feel I'm in the tractor with you.
HELLO, Indiana Jack, great videos and content, new subscriber from Australia, at times your narration reminds me of the man in the bear skin in the movie True Grit, the remake version with Jeff Bridges
+john syverson in most cases I just program it into my GPS and it guides me in. Hopefully a person has to have some common sense and not go under a bridge that is too short.
Hi! I have liked, subscribed and now, commented. I am not a trucker, I refuse to drive at all, now. Maybe that's why I watch your videos. Are you always this calm whilst driving?
Great videos with Jack.

LOL. "There's no spot that even a Swift driver can't get into" That was a good one Jack!!
Those enclosed docks (Black Holes)are something else aren’t they Jack. And then the sun shining in your face! Ah- another day at work for an exceptional Driver.
Really smooth adventure Jack. Lot's of truck stop action and the weather looked great. Old
Red still looks nice Jack when she's all shined up.
Thank you for another great film. Thank you for getting the goods delivered. God is your pilot. 😇

Great video as always.thank you for doing them. You look like something is wrong in this one, hope it gets better.sending positive thoughts your way.
once you get north of Little rock, 167 becomes a 70 mph divided 4 lane. Beautiful drive, nice back road to Missouri.
I have been from Conway to almost Jonesboro, AR on a 4 lane but I was not driving I do not remember the name of it.I thought US 267 goes from Ash Flat, AR to south LA. I have been to Springfield, MO from Little Rock on US 65. It was not 4 lane then but it may be now.
Great video and them lady bugs are a pain
glad to see another one your vlog liked it,take care
Gotta love them visors! Lot to say but no way to say it all what a great trip thanks Jack
JACK ENJOY YOUR VIEDOS HAVE A GREAT DAY !!
Hey Indiana Jack you ever stop and wash your truck at the I 40 West Memphis truck wash
I've never seen so many lady bugs!!
Keep the videos coming Jack
A couple questions regarding your rental trailer:

Harley04 Jack played Rooster Cogburn in that movie.
good show jack!!
Hey 167!! I used to live in Camden, my family lives in east Camden. Been a long time since I've been there.
Love that truck stop " there, off 167 and 40 ( Hitchen it ).
Still out here looking for you Jack. Guess going around that consigned a couple times was the right trick to get them to answer the Bell. Lol
Well Jack thats one way to get them lot lizzards wet, by throwing them in a lake. 😂
That must be a new Love's there in Little Rock... at least after 2014. The one I remember there was tiny.
another good vid
There are a couple price choppers up here in the north east, new jersey, Massachusetts,and Vermont and new Hampshire.
Looked like a hoverfly to me, which are sometimes referred to as "sweat bees." The non native lady beetles are Aisian lady beetles.
you gotta clean inside of windshield
JACK I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS
Great video
Jack when you have a delivery that you’ve never been to before what’s your process of the best route to take ? Especially in a big city.
Thanks!
+john syverson in most cases I just program it into my GPS and it guides me in. Hopefully a person has to have some common sense and not go under a bridge that is too short.
Buy a "truck" gps, it plans you so you stay out of trouble, usually.
Thanks for posting edited videos rather than live feeds all the time.
They have Price Chopper in NY also. Not the same logo but same idea from the looks of it. In NY they are grocery stores.
Hey, i did subscribe, months ago, even got no more notifications. Things are different(ial). Things chance. Well, stil enjoy watching.
Awesome 👍👍👍
Price Chopper is in Des Moines now, too.
Conrad ...we have them in central NY
Hi! I have liked, subscribed and now, commented. I am not a trucker, I refuse to drive at all, now. Maybe that's why I watch your videos. Are you always this calm whilst driving?
Great video as always! If you were to buy a new tractor, would you get another Volvo? If not, what would you get and would you consider an automatic?
I don't mind a few bugs. They are organic....
But when I'm snoring and crawl in my nose , well, it's personnal!
I want to see you make a stop in Sanderson Texas. I also want to see Moab Utah.
+John Clem I made a video in Moab Utah. I think it's called a trip through Moab Utah LOL
We also have Price Chopper stores here in Massachusetts.
All the Lady bugs are good luck but they were eating the Lot Lizard "KNOCK" off your doors.
Jack has the luck of the ladybugs :)
Just stopped at that loves yesterday
Love the video
The guys who were "really close" the one was giving the other a back adjustment. He must have hurt his back at sometime.

Fine video. Archive
Got lots of Price Choppers here in upstate NY
