As always Jack, I enjoyed this video. I drove a truck briefly in 2016 and have come to realize how much I miss the freedom that the open road offers. Your videos feed my craving to be back out there until I decide to get back in a truck. You are by far the best trucking vlogger I have seen on the net. Keep em coming...
Keep the videos comming Jack, Im a retired driver, been driving since 82, I lost both legs above the knees. thats why I retired. Anyway. Keep em comming .
Hi Jack, Been following your videos for awhile now... Really enjoy them! I've been a driver for almost 20 years now & it can get mundane; you have a great way of somehow re-sparking that feeling we get as to why we do what we do.... Thank you!! I live in Marion, Iowa... so a little heads up for ya..... It's COLD now, bring your coat. Stay safe & maybe our paths will meet someday!
Your Volvo is perfect.The KW are nice trucks no douth, but ill take a volvo with a big sleeper and an I shift anytime.I've diven many volvos and they are realy spacious and comfortable..As a broker they are great trucks to own.They turn on a dime Great visabilty, and probably the smothest ride of any truck out there. And i've driven may trucks. The last volvos ive driven had the I shift. You can drive on automatic or you can drive on my favorite setting, Manulalshift. They have really improved since they first came out.They shift really well. I really liked them. I like your truck Jack. It's serving you well.
Love your videos jack I am the guy that lives off 71 in Ohio my dad is a trucker so I know a lot and I am grateful that you teach me new things because I am only 13 you and my dad have inspired me to be a otr trucker
Max Penrod Rather you end up a trucker or not, learn how to use punctuation properly. Just because you drive a truck, doesn't give you permission to bd a complete moron. Too many people in the industry fail to communicate properly with the ol' written word.
I start my CDL school in January, probably will be with a trainer in February, I hope eventually I bump into you on the road sometime in 2018.... you are a legend Jack!
It's truly amazing Jack, how many of your videos take me back to areas of the country, settings and places I have been, back in my tenure of being a trucker. For instance, a truck stop early in this particular video on I-10 in the Fla. panhandle .... I'm wondering if the truck stop was (at least formerly) a 76 truck stop .... There was a hotel next door which had a wooden-bridge style of walkway over a deep ditch which I used to walk back and forth.. Then, you travel on to West Monroe, La (where I have also been) for the load going up to Iowa. I DO enjoy following along in these travels!!! Thank you for your great work and for your service. I've never met you Jack, but you're someone I appreciate as well as admire, for your clean, honest and informative programs. Keep up the good work, and God's Blessings.
Awww, Velcro. A truckers best friend. Hey Jack I really love your videos. Takes me back to when I was driving OTR. I really do miss it at times. There never was a truer statement as " Once a truck driver. Always a truck driver. " It just gets in your blood some how. Anyways, Ive got a request for a video. Nothing to fancy or long. Just a little night time trucker song with views of the open road. No commentary, not that I don't enjoy your banter because I do. But, just something to bring back the memories. Hell, you most likely got enough stock footage to make this. Anyways, just a request. No need to get in any rush. Thanks Driver.
Jack - next time you are at Love's, ask them to enable "pump start" on your loyalty card. It's a one page form you fill out at the fuel desk and return it. They usually activate it within 24 hours. I drove for a small company that wanted to use AMEX cards for fuel - that always necessitated a trip inside at Love's and PFJ to start the pump. But both of them can add pump start to the loyalty card - that gets the pump going and then when you are done you go inside and pay with your fuel or credit card. Saved me lots of walking back and forth.
Hi Jack. I'm willing to bet the two deliveries you made at those nurseries were either in or around Forest Hill Louisiana. I live about 25 miles from there. Glad you were in the neighborhood. Take care
You know, I have no problem staying up and driving at 2 am, but if I have to get up before 7 am you might as well forget me driving. Its hard to stay awake.
hey I'm Adrian I live in baton rouge Louisiana I hate the roads in Louisiana to but when you are on a monthly check its cheaper to live in Louisiana so I have to dill with the roads keep doing the trucker videos I love seeing them
sorry to ask Jack, but how long ago did you film this part? Since on this movie the old chair covers are still on... I noticed that B-). Keep on trucking, and thank you for sharing one of your adventures, like to watch it allways, gives me the feeling I have seen America, though I have never been there at all. I am from the Netherlands by the way... So everywhere on the world, you've got people who like to follow you on your trucking adventures...
And here I thought I was gonna see you getting a tire changed along the Interstate :( Fun watching your video's even if you didn't pick up a nail :D Safe travels...
Enjoyed the video. Do you have to put a lock 🔒 on your trailer so no one “accidentally” takes it? Also was just up in Iowa last week, went to the I-80 truck museum what a nice display of old trucks they have. Peace!
Dear Jack: When I watch your videos. you always get up at 4 AM in order to start trucking and my question is how do you deal with the time changes in USA? does it affect your sleeping time ? Thank you for reading my message and your videos are great ! I hope to watch a new video soon .take care Jack !!
Long time ago . . . once had a box of nails spill in the trailer-right over a hole in the trailer floor-for about a stretch of 75 miles north of Detroit on 1-75 . . . Oops . . . A guy behind me swerved to avoid one . . . and got a ticket . . . for "tacks evasion" . . .
if you're fueling at loves enough that your payment card not starting the pump is really getting to be a problem, you can get a pump start authorization on your loves card. then, all you have to do is swipe the rewards card at the pump, fuel, then go inside to pay and get your receipt.
Cotter pins are my enemy. Had to get one removed from a tire a couple weeks ago. Thankful for those in-dash tire pressure gages on new cars. Without it, I may have been WAY out in the country before I realized I was losing air.
I wish Jack would say where more of his stops are. He rarely does anymore. I wonder who the bag shipper was? We were based out of West Monroe and used to haul a lot for Bancroft Bag.
Hey Jack, love your videos.... so when will "old red" become "new red" ... how many miles will you run it too and will you part exchange her for something new... keep up the good work and stay safe out there....
+Gary Setterfield I guess we should just pee in bottles and leave them around? Lol. No, just kidding. I am surprised at how many times I see a sign like that.
Question , you did an oil change a few episodes back. do you know or find that is basic standard oil versus a synthetic Mobil 1 or Amsoil would be better or offer some advantages possibly . I know the price of the oil is about almost triple I think, synthetic oil versus the other.
Your short time in west Monroe u could of gone to duck commander and seen the guys from duck dynasty. I drive by there a lot just never have time to stop and see them
This is not an insult Mr. Jack lol. But.... I knew there was something about your voice and I have a good ear and it finally dawned on me, between the Cadence and the tone of your voice, the way you separate your words and take pauses between them when you talk slowly lol you're very similar to mr. Rogers! It's actually pretty cool! One of these days you got to make a video where you take us through mr. Jack's neighborhood 😆
Would you please show more of your video driving down the road without The music and no more speed on Camera please that will be good because I like your videos they are good be safe my friend
+Glenn Hunter probably not Glenn because it is very dull but thanks for the suggestion. At some point in time I might make one video about that, or something like that.
Because it's called a tractor trailer. Tractor, from what I think, meant as a large vehicle capable to hitch and carry a trailer. In the Midwest it's usually called a semi but is some states it varies. The UK and Ireland call it a lorry, and the Aussies are just goofs. 😄
Jack, on your ELD installment video I noticed your program did not show line 5 "personal conveyance" as an O/O this is an important issue,, will your ELD allow you a line 5 option when when you're bob tailed?
As always Jack, I enjoyed this video. I drove a truck briefly in 2016 and have come to realize how much I miss the freedom that the open road offers.

I always look forwards to view your trucking adventures.. Thanks for taking me (us) along..
Hi Jack,

yeah man that real smooth cool jazz; you got it going on real cool
Jack: No need to answer. Regarding your friend, Mark: Good to know that you guys look out for each other like that...'Nuff Said...
You are right about having to go inside waiting in line to have the pump turned on.
Sitting here waiting for cancer surgery in the morning. I needed something to relax me. Indiana Jack is the perfect thing for me right now!
Ha ha, Des Moines & Illinois, in France we would say Day Mwan & Eeyanwa ;-)
I had a 4 inch bolt go through my tire Back in 80\'s
. An act of God Me thinks'
Whatever happened I do not know.
Good luck to 2 you!!!!

How come you don't have your truck leased to knight eney more. I really enjoy your videos Dave in ky

You know, I have no problem staying up and driving at 2 am, but if I have to get up before 7 am you might as well forget me driving. Its hard to stay awake.
WD-40 will fix a squeaky seat spray it right on the rubber mount

"There pulling a Swift" Say no more, You need to make allowances some times.

+John Taratuta ok, so that was you. Lol

Nice offload destinations.
Cabovers are great at short loading docks, and short turning spots.. That one was esp...nice!!!
portable toilet sold in good houseware store LOL
Cotter pins are my enemy. Had to get one removed from a tire a couple weeks ago. Thankful for those in-dash tire pressure gages on new cars. Without it, I may have been WAY out in the country before I realized I was losing air.
Great video,............
A very nice video thnx
West Monroe is home of Duck Dynasty!!
I wish Jack would say where more of his stops are. He rarely does anymore. I wonder who the bag shipper was? We were based out of West Monroe and used to haul a lot for Bancroft Bag.
i love the split view jack
like your show, miss getting on a regualer basis
Hey Jack, love your videos.... so when will "old red" become "new red" ... how many miles will you run it too and will you part exchange her for something new... keep up the good work and stay safe out there....
You get the alot in the UK, no use of facilities. It's shocking how badly truckers are treated here. Keep on trucking Jack👍
+Gary Setterfield I guess we should just pee in bottles and leave them around? Lol. No, just kidding. I am surprised at how many times I see a sign like that.
It would have been cool if you ran into Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty. LOL
That’s a fact, Jack!
Thanks for hanging out in my home state Jack. Who Dat...Who Dat...Who Dat say they gonna beat dem Saints😅
Dem Bucs!!!
Duck Commander (the Duck Dynasty guys) is in West Monroe :-)
I'm sure those fish ponds are to produce fish fertilizer for the plants they raise. Thanks for the video
+jerseycowboy1 I did not know that. Thanks
4:20 i was trippin out haha
West Monroe is where duck dynasty is filmed. Great diner to eat at as well
Question , you did an oil change a few episodes back.
do you know or find that is basic standard oil versus a synthetic Mobil 1 or Amsoil would be better or offer some advantages possibly .
I know the price of the oil is about almost triple I think, synthetic oil versus the other.
that cab over had a crazy wheelbase,what are the limits for wheel bases.
i want a frostie from wendys can you stop
You got it right, its pronounced Duh Mo-een.
nice.......u look good......
Your short time in west Monroe u could of gone to duck commander and seen the guys from duck dynasty. I drive by there a lot just never have time to stop and see them
+Anthony Blackbeard I would have liked to have done that. I will have to do that next time.
This is not an insult Mr. Jack lol. But.... I knew there was something about your voice and I have a good ear and it finally dawned on me, between the Cadence and the tone of your voice, the way you separate your words and take pauses between them when you talk slowly lol you're very similar to mr. Rogers! It's actually pretty cool! One of these days you got to make a video where you take us through mr. Jack's neighborhood 😆
I'm not sure what you mean. I would have to go back and watch this film again. Won't you be my friend?" :-)
5:57 neat lil muscle car in the parking lot wonder what it is it looked like a oldsmobile
Yeah looks like an 80's Olds Cutlass Supreme
yeah
If I rember correctly that parking lot a Denham springs was rather on the small side ehhh
You got any future plans for a new truck?
hey jack i seen you in amerlio im catching up too your vids!!
+Jeremiah arthur you saw me there last week?
When are you going to buy a new truck and wil it be a volvo again ? Greetings from the Netherlands
+Rudy Van Nistelrooy hello Rudy from the Netherlands. I don't plan on buying a new truck unless I somehow come upon a lot of money.
jack love your videos...just a small nit pick can you please keep your windshield cleaner when you are filming....lol
"Des Moines" are french words that mean "monks"
French prononciation... « day mwan »
Des Moines, silent S’s on both.
it s french for The Monks
I think about you when playing on American truck simulator lol
+Leads The Fallen I have a lot of friends that play that
I don't know how realistic it is though as i don't drive trucks lol
Leads The Fallen Not completely realistic but close enough
I'm in Louisiana rt now at the Pilot on 10
You're correct about not pronouncing the S in Des Moines, IA. But, the S is pronounced for Des Moines, WA
Jim Taylor That's neat to know.
Hey Jack what mount are you using for the iPad mini
+Waseem Abdelaziz it is my old Qualcomm mount
Des Moines pronounced de Moin. I live there.
Conrad The more you know.
Next you’ll tell us how to pronounce Illinois!
Would you please show more of your video driving down the road without The music and no more speed on Camera please that will be good because I like your videos they are good be safe my friend
+Glenn Hunter probably not Glenn because it is very dull but thanks for the suggestion. At some point in time I might make one video about that, or something like that.
You are not complaining about the fuel card ,just pointing out the obvious flaw integrated within your specific fuel card!
Why is it called tractor? Farmers have tractor too, for ex. plowing or harvesting. Big difference of vehicle
In Australia we call it a "Prime Mover" don't know why, i've no idea why you blokes call it a tractor?
Dave Hinves We call them tractors to piss off people from other countries
Hahaha bad language
Stephan Nonting 😃
Because it's called a tractor trailer. Tractor, from what I think, meant as a large vehicle capable to hitch and carry a trailer. In the Midwest it's usually called a semi but is some states it varies. The UK and Ireland call it a lorry, and the Aussies are just goofs. 😄
Do u double clutch or float gears?
the A T C H A F A L A Y A
How many miles do you have on your truck now?
Jack, on your ELD installment video I noticed your program did not show line 5 "personal conveyance" as an O/O this is an important issue,, will your ELD allow you a line 5 option when when you're bob tailed?
What happened to the new seat covers?
0:07 This film is for entertainment purposes only. Events shown may or may not have taken place in the order they have been presented.
So i am not the only one that took notice of that, i’ m curious to!
Yea! me too I notice that ;o))))
He probably did this video before the seat cover video.
R Smith Yeah i saw that too!
can you give me some information about traveloko
D Barth Call them and ask for Jack or Eric. Don’t mention watermelons 🍉.
20:46---in French the last constant is silent.
not in loves anymore !!lol
splitscreen nice work makes me dizzy lol
What happened to your nice new seat covers?
George Fisher 0:07 This film is for entertainment purposes only. Events shown may or may not have taken place in the order they are presented.
I hope you dont mind me asking but why do you hit the dashborad when your pulling off
+Mike Fortune I'm not really hitting it. I'm holding in my yellow valve.
thank you and im sorry for asking
I still don’t get why people pull in on parking spots that are made to be backed in sounds like they are asking for trouble
Tim J cause ppl are lazy and dont know how to back unless its a straight line
are you still with traveloko
+D Barth yes and really enjoying it.
What happened to your seat covers?
Michael Gennuso 0:07 This film is for entertainment purposes only. Events shown may or may not have taken place in the order they have been presented.
+Michael Gennuso I still have them. They are great. The films are about a month behind
Jack, I've always wondered what made you laugh in that closing clip?
ha ha ha ha ha
maybe Loves wants to see your face :-)
You need to make it out west again. It makes for better videos.
Go visit 🦆 Commander (Duck Dynasty)
i work for that company you show
+Robert Chapman that company where I picked up the bags?
indianajacktrucker no sir holland enterprise
You should had take that out side for cutting
I was thinking the same thing, ha ha ha
If he went outside at the truck stop everyone would be yelling, “Look out, Jack’s got a Hacksaw...”. That might turn into a horror flick!
