I will be in either Rome or Dalton next week to take my CDL exam.. watching your channel over the past several years contributed to my decision to pursue my CDL .. thx !
Appreciate you taking the time to share this story. I've seen some videos where drivers abandon their trucks and companies have to search to find them, sometimes finding them in very poor condition. I really enjoyed when you would say "that's behind the scenes stuff" during your videos. Since I know nothing about what went on behind the scenes with this driver, I will not judge them. I'll give them credit for not trashing that truck. Your right about adventures, they are always a good time. Lastly, enjoy your life after trucking, you deserve it.
Doesn’t matter if it’s behind the wheel of a truck or behind a desk, still like following in your adventures in this crazy industry we work in. Great to have you back!
It's so good to watch you again. I watch the other Trucking shows but even my wife likes the sound of your voice. There's something soothing about you that makes life good. Please keep up the videos.
Keep on doing great videos Mr.Indiana Jack.... I worked for a produce company closed to Tifton, by the 112 in Rebecca,GA. I used to load the produce trucks by hand, there the big trucks began to attract attention. It was a very hard job. I remember that the boss used to shout "to the roof" ... meaning from nose to tail all the way to the roof ...that was long time ago... good memories...
glade to see you back Jack . truck videos have went nuts trying to find you . Glad to see the Pete not damaged .take care we will see you down the road .
man, I just love watching your videos Jack, you are the best! and thank you for sharing with us, as I know you are busy. Life after trucking is still an adventure.
As always nice to see a new video. I got a kick out of seeing an Advance Transportation trailer at 1:48. A good small company I drive for out of Chicago land.
It's really refreshing to see someone enjoy real QUALITY OF LIFE nowadays! It is the "little things" that make a difference. Can't stand the high paced, cut-throat shallowness of a lot people these days. Jack shows that life CAN BE and IS enjoyable. Life is VERY SHORT. Keep up the great work Jack ! Of course I Subscribed !
It's really nice to have you back Jack. A very enjoyable ride and adventure. "Life after Trucking". I like it. Thank you for sharing once again. I look forward to the next adventure.
Life after ... anything is a challenge. I am trying to figure how to do after 39 yrs of nursing when myositis fatigue and weakness made working impossible on the terms they want. Son looked up to you when he first started trucking 18+ mos ago but mega crappy carrier had slip seated him 8 times in 12 mos, still left him broken down and stranded on the road 3 times, stranded in UT without load out for days on end, held in terminal in PA sleeping on chair 3 days at their insistence. Next carrier truck was good for all 5 mos but dispatch abuse in blizzard when he was exhausted after turning and burning months on end... he drove by a bad wreck and decided he wanted to live to see his 29th birthday and quit. We salute you for getting out safely.
Great to have an update from you Jack. I miss the old trucking videos. I wish there was another channel that would truck me across America like you did. Suggestions would be appreciated.
Life after trucking😏 means I now get to sit home with my disability and wait on trucking hubby to come home every week. I do miss it, but I think I miss the old days of it🙃. Keep the shiny side up!! God bless!
Good video. Reminds me of a show from a few years back, it was about people who went out and found abandoned rig's and got paid by whatever company that hired em for either bringing the truck back and/or delivery of the load.
Jack, that's an understatement ,, about having another adventure next week in trucking. The next adventures seem never ending when you talking trucking,, If it's not one thing it's another. Thanks for the video. Did you dead head back I wonder? Bet the company wanted the unit back,, and the unit back in service with a new driver in the cab pulling the better pay'n freight outbound and not worrying about fuel money loads to get back to the barn.
I did a recovery for my company yrs ago. I brought the truck back to the yard the shop cleaned it out and informed me there was marijuana in it. I never did a recovery again.
I picked up a trucker once while running as a paramedic, and took him to the local hospital. Never thought about his truck. I guess he probably was one of the abandoned trucks someone else had to recover.
I know this is an old video but did you bring those golf carts back to Calhoun and if you did where do they sell them at over there I need one!! I live about 18 miles East of Calhoun
Ro here with 9 line transportation.. just ran across your channel and would like to get to know ya, life after trucking huh .... looks like your far from it lol .. hope to hear from ya . great video and old school music felt like I was surfing ....... MURICA!!!🇺🇸🇨🇱
A good video Jack it is good to see you back behind the wheel I can’t understand some drivers and why they ruin their DAC reports by abandoning a truck some place I hate the fact that having health problems put me out of trucking and I miss it everyday
yea truck recovery can be pretty scary. i had to retrieve one in Indy and when i showed up to get it,there were deputies all over it. apparently the driver had threatened to shoot anyone who came to get it. it did resolve peacefully,but i was a little unnerved
I preside in Conley GA , I use to truck to Ats Specialized flatbed I also had a pete.nice truck retired 2014. going back to do something after a while it gets boring.
Non driver question....Do you have to keep an electronic log when you are doing these infrequent trips, or do you just keep a paper one? Thanks for sharing with us, Jack!
Trucks are abandoned because a lot of drivers are driving crap and getting crap for pay. No... I wouldn’t advice leaving your truck but I can understand it. I’ve never done it. Twice... I took a truck back to base and quit!
I really enjoyed this. So glad you are back, you are a great asset as being a driver and OO you can do any task that comes along. Life after trucking is a perfect new title for your adventures. I will enjoy anything hou post as i am also enjoying life after trucking.
Good to see ya out there again. If only for one trip. Can't believe people can't follow through with their commitment and just ditch a truck. Not good. See you next time
Not saying traveloco but them large outfits drive them hands that far to do that which still isn't correct to do that plus some of them hands probably can't afford to get back home is another reason why they do it lol
@@indianajack Yes Jack, unfortunately it is. Added to the cost of living has skyrocketed. Auburndale/Winter Haven/Lakeland used to be great places to live. Not any more. One of the main reasons I became an OTR driver.
You waited a half hour for Mexican take out? Wow! Judging by your over all shots of the place, it didn't look busy in there. I like the carved back rests on the chairs and some of the other decorations. That big rig that pulled in that was decorated with an eagle and our flag pulling what looked like golf carts, some of those carts were modified, but I couldn't tell what they were for. They had a boxed in area in the back with a bin on the bottom and some smaller doors like cabinets. What were they for? I imagine they might be food carts to bring food items to golfers on a large golf field. Or are they lockers to keep a golfer's clubs and other equipment secure? Maybe they're not for golfing at all.
I will be in either Rome or Dalton next week to take my CDL exam.. watching your channel over the past several years contributed to my decision to pursue my CDL .. thx !
Right on and good luck.

JBG travels and Long haul Larry . Big rig videos good too
The old feel of Jack on the road again was great. Getting away from those long desk job hours must feel good for the change.
Good to see you are making videos again. Hope you are enjoying the job.
Thank you guys very much. Are you guys still making videos? Good luck to you my friends.
Glad you are back. I enjoy all of your adventures.
Glad you’re back! Tifton is famous for it’s turf grass used on golf courses.
I was really missing your shows thanks to came back...
Life after trucking😏 means I now get to sit home with my disability and wait on trucking hubby to come home every week. I do miss it, but I think I miss the old days of it🙃. Keep the shiny side up!! God bless!
Another great video glad you got your truck back ok keep up the great videos an God bless
Good video. Reminds me of a show from a few years back, it was about people who went out and found abandoned rig's and got paid by whatever company that hired em for either bringing the truck back and/or delivery of the load.
I think the show your thinking of is big rig bounty hunters
Jack, that's an understatement ,, about having another adventure next week in trucking. The next adventures seem never ending when you talking trucking,, If it's not one thing it's another. Thanks for the video.
Did you dead head back I wonder? Bet the company wanted the unit back,, and the unit back in service with a new driver in the cab pulling the better pay'n freight outbound and not worrying about fuel money loads to get back to the barn.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN ON THE ROAD.I WATCH YOU FROM GREECE AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WERE OK.
Good to see another video from you. I was hoping that you'd offer some insight into this business of truck abandonment, what the root causes are, etc.
Good morning ser I hope you have a safe drive and have a good Sunday and God bless you and thank you for all your videos
Thanks for sharing another story video on TH-cam 👍
I just love your videos. Very respectful man.
So glad to have the possibility to watch your videos! Do not take it too heavy on you, anyhow, short ones are just fine!
That was like watching mr. Rogers neighborhood damn I almost fell asleep
Just wondering, was anything in the trailer?
There was nothing left in the trailer.
I really enjoy your edits man. Videos are always great.
I did a recovery for my company yrs ago. I brought the truck back to the yard the shop cleaned it out and informed me there was marijuana in it. I never did a recovery again.
MOONSHADOW 1918 got real lucky on that one brother.
It was loaded with marijuana?
Or you found some seeds in the carpet?
I'll volunteer, business comes first.
Well don't leave your weed in the truck next time.
Great video always good to see you behind the steering wheel. But you has to look out for #1 YOU.
Thanks for the video Jack love too see you around again.
Great, so there’s a nice restaurant and motel in Tifton. Yes, I gotta say, that was very exciting!
Glad to see you back Jack! Miss your videos. Hope your doing well! Take care! Kenny 🤙🤙
Glad to see you back. Been missing the videos Jack. Keep on trucking.
So good to see you back Jack God bless you
Great to see a new Indiana Jack video.
Great video Jack. Like always.
Glad you guys visited. :-)
@@indianajack Always
Jack, its good to see you rolling down the slab again.
I picked up a trucker once while running as a paramedic, and took him to the local hospital. Never thought about his truck. I guess he probably was one of the abandoned trucks someone else had to recover.
I know this is an old video but did you bring those golf carts back to Calhoun and if you did where do they sell them at over there I need one!! I live about 18 miles East of Calhoun
Great to see you again Jack
Regards George a dutch truckdriver
So why the switch to office work?
Great video as usual. Seems like old times riding along with you.
Marvin Elder But it was a Pete and not a Volvo! Could viewer’s adjust?
Hi Jack
Nice to see you out on the road again
From pat in the UK
ps the tee shirts are still wearing well
If your not under a load and only dead heading back to the yard, do you still have run a e-log?
Yes but you can use personal conveyance. That does not affect your logs.
Hi Jack,you must miss driving a lot.i'd love to see you back behind the wheel😁
Ro here with 9 line transportation.. just ran across your channel and would like to get to know ya, life after trucking huh .... looks like your far from it lol .. hope to hear from ya . great video and old school music felt like I was surfing .......
MURICA!!!🇺🇸🇨🇱
What trucking company does IndianaJack work for?
Nice to see you driving under any circumstance.
Great to have you back Jack!!!
Oh yeah glad you are back my friend. Peace ✌️
Glad u doing good jack...i just came through calhoun, ga...abandoning equipment goes on your record and its hard to get trucking jobs after that
I am really glad you got your truck and trailer back
Nice job
Nice to see you back in a truck
A good video Jack it is good to see you back behind the wheel I can’t understand some drivers and why they ruin their DAC reports by abandoning a truck some place
I hate the fact that having health problems put me out of trucking and I miss it everyday
Why you didn’t flew to Orlando ?
I do not like to fly anymore.
yea truck recovery can be pretty scary. i had to retrieve one in Indy and when i showed up to get it,there were deputies all over it. apparently the driver had threatened to shoot anyone who came to get it. it did resolve peacefully,but i was a little unnerved
Hey nice to see ya again ! good vid reminded me of when you were on to road drew me in had to watch ! thank you take care
Did you move out of Osceola County? Btw,there is a new Loves in Hwy 27 North in Davenport less than a mile on left.
Life after trucking for means I can't drive a truck anymore do to medical.
Same here.
That is a valid reason. I wish you all the best.
Trying to get SS disability
Bless you both and keep faith.. God will provide.
I preside in Conley GA , I use to truck to Ats Specialized flatbed I also had a pete.nice truck retired 2014. going back to do something after a while it gets boring.
At least it nice to see a familiar face, thnx jack. Keep on trucking
In just curious....why do truckers ditch their truck??? U sorta explained it but I need more insight...
Buying a truck is one of the hardest things to do. I don't think they were prepared enough.
was it for a local trucking company or what, ?
Hey jack glad you back
Mr Jack do u work at rrr in Calhoun GA love your video's
What would it cost you to recover an abandoned truck if you had to hire a company to retrieve it? Glad you’re back!
Thanks for the video Jack !
My late father was on the board of directors of Cummins Inc. and XTRA INC. Piggyback Trailers in the area of corporate finance.
Your laugh at the end is always worth it! :-)
so why did the driver leave the truck?
Hahaha..i dont think he just ran out of fuel and abandoned the truck..theres more to it than that
He was not prepared to buy a truck.
Which is nicer/best Pete or Kenny?
I would drive either one.
Non driver question....Do you have to keep an electronic log when you are doing these infrequent trips, or do you just keep a paper one? Thanks for sharing with us, Jack!
Yes I was using Keep Truckin on this trip. That is the logging system that we use.
Glad to see your show again!
Trucks are abandoned because a lot of drivers are driving crap and getting crap for pay. No... I wouldn’t advice leaving your truck but I can understand it. I’ve never done it. Twice... I took a truck back to base and quit!
Buying a truck is very difficult. It has to be your total focus. You can't have house payments and car payments on top of it or you will fail.
indianajacktrucker true
I really enjoyed this. So glad you are back, you are a great asset as being a driver and OO you can do any task that comes along. Life after trucking is a perfect new title for your adventures. I will enjoy anything hou post as i am also enjoying life after trucking.
Why was a Mechanic Required?
It's sat a while and would not start.
Enjoyed the video! Could you link the music in the description? I really liked it. Would be great for a farm video.
All the music I use is available on TH-cam. If you go to the Creator section in TH-cam you will find it.
@@indianajack Thank you! Wish you all the best!
You can always use Shazam to figure out what is playing.
Good to see ya out there again. If only for one trip.
Can't believe people can't follow through with their commitment and just ditch a truck. Not good.
See you next time
how does your log look on a jump like that
1was nice to see ya jack.. it's just not the same out here with out you..good to see ya.
Jack was there undelivered freight in the trailer? If there is freight how is the delivery process done?
I'm pretty sure that guy delivered his load.
Great to see you again really been missing you!!!
It's great to see you again
Good to see you behind the wheel again. Wish you well.
Hauled a lot of carpeting out of Calhoun Ga years ago and brought it back to Agusta Maine
Thanks Jack good to see you in a truck always enjoy your videos!!!
Happy New Year Mr Jack and truckers! FYI the grapevine is open. Yipee.
Traveloko is obviously struggling in this market. But I still dint understand why drivers just can’t bring the truck back to the yard.
Not saying traveloco but them large outfits drive them hands that far to do that which still isn't correct to do that plus some of them hands probably can't afford to get back home is another reason why they do it lol
People abandoned trucks even when times are going really good. In most cases it's the person and not the people who are selling them the truck.
Meth hole Auburndale, Florida. Damn I hated living there! Run away Jack! Run away!
Is it known for meth there?
@@indianajack Yes Jack, unfortunately it is. Added to the cost of living has skyrocketed. Auburndale/Winter Haven/Lakeland used to be great places to live. Not any more. One of the main reasons I became an OTR driver.

What's happening Indiana jack,as always nice informative video, do you still have the red Volvo
Nope, sold her in 2018.
Good to have Indiana Jack back!
