Place of mine for many years.they are very friendly Christian staffed and managed.if I never meet you this side of heaven,I will see you on the other side with your late Uncle. Drive safe,have a prosperous new year in 2020. From Shadyhills Florida, USA. GOD is your Pilot.

I was in the Military years ago, the slogan was “hurry up and wait “ as for us truckers, the slogan is “ A day late, and a dollar short” as you know...Happy New Decade Jack!

The old is just as good, i watch all of Texas, Thanks

Happy new year Jack from new zealand

I'm usually ready to go but I constantly find myself waiting for other people to get their acts together. Lol.

Yeah Indiana Jack you spend a majority of your life waiting but fortunately GOD GIVES US THE PATIENCE. to be patient. There sure are a lot of crazy,dangerous drivers out there which I’m sure you saw a lot of during your years of truck driving,as all truck drivers do my friend. Wishing you a Happy,healthy and prosperous New Year and May GOD BLESS YOU and give you all the best !!! 🎆🎆🎆🎆🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

HEY JACK....JUST WENT THRU ORIENTATION WITH MY NEW COMPANY AND HAD TO WATCH ALL THE SAFETY AND ORIENTATION VIDEOS....THE VERY LAST VIDEO WAS ABOUT THE PILOT APP AND NONE OTHER THAN YOURS TRULY WAS EXPLAINING IT....YES!!! MY COMPANY USED "INDIANA JACKS" VIDEO ABOUT "PILOT APP"!!!! SO YOU ARE NOW USED FOR ORIENTATION VIDEOS!!!! LOVE YOU BROTHER!!!!

Happy New Year Indiana jack

Nice video once again. You spoke of waiting. Seems like I wait all the time for these truckers to upload more awesome videos! =D j/k! It's worth the wait! I went to get pharmacy stuff and there was zero wait which I was shocked. I can get a better deal but waiting would be involved, though. I'll stop waiting and do my job search plus exercise like you suggested! But I am studying Mandarin plus on a strict healthy diet so those tasks are done waiting. =D

Stay safe man hello right now from Corona California. That's happen when I was attempting to get on the highway someone tail gated me thank goodness there was a cop there and they pulled them over. These 4 wheelers.i swear and it's other truckers too that are not giving other drivers space. Safe distance. Watching movies while driving. We all need to be safe

Love YRC the yellow roadway corporation for years had orange cabs. That's good humor

I watched most of the videos as you made then. I found them interesting and entertaining. And the newer version is also entertaining. I have done the paper and the electronic log several years with Werner and then back to paper log with my own truck ( owner operator) then electronic when the change came. I do not like the electronic log for several reasons. And no I never did run more than the allocated hours. As a matter of fact I was happy with doing 10 hrs. The 10 hour shift was plenty of hours to operate a large commercial vehicle. But the change to 11 came about as a favor that Bush#2 done for the larger companies just prior to Bush #2 leaving office. More about the electronic log with this change came more regulations, such as the regulation that requires the electronic device to be fastened to the dash in view and in reach of the driver. Totally to much micromanaging. A lot of roads are very rough and this beats the heck out of the electronic device. My biggest concern this brings on more micromanaging where there was already too much. The larger companies or some did endorse the change to electronic log, if they want that great to them do it. For guys like me with one truck or a small fleet we just don't need the extra micro-managing. I see some say they like the electronic log they say they like it because they don't have to run illegal. I say to those individuals "you are the captain" of the ship when the drive time or the hours each day is up that is all folks. I have never had to explain that to anyone the second time.

Finding loads is always my favorite part of the show...If I were to use a load board I would use DAT because its America's #1 software for finding loads and I would get it for the first month free right here at Life After Trucking!

Happy new year be safe out there on the road I live in Hawaii so me as far as meeting up with you probably highly unlikely that we will ever meet up in less you come to Hawaii you’re a big Aloha

Sometimes I'm waiting to WAIT!

Nice Video Jack Peace ✌️

Happy New Year, Jack- keep up the good work and the interesting videos!

Hurry up and wait! Anyone else ready for summer?

keep the videos coming

After watching various truckers, here on You Tube, dealing with ELDs, I see the one problem is getting the most miles in the limited time allowed before violation. Some drive down to the last minute until violation, praying that they will have a place to park for the night. If the lot is full, then it is street parking if you can find a street that will allow it.

Mercer yay! I have my truck leased on with Mercer. We don't wait much.

Even in your cage, that looked like a close call @ 4:50! As far as trucking goes, I've been otr for 26 years (20 as an owner operator), all with one company. Waiting in a dock doesn't bother me. My company still pays percentage, not mileage. Back in the 90s, when I was a fleet driver, they charged $100/hr if their trucks sat over 2 hrs and I got 30% ($30/hr) of that. These days, they charge $200/hr. As an owner op, I get 85% minus 5% trailer fee. So, I get $160/hr for detention. I actually own 5 tractors, all leased to this company. 4 of them are on the road every day, the 5th is a backup. When one of my drivers is detained, they get their % of what the truck makes. For example, my lowest paid driver makes 35% of my 80% (after trailer fee). That means that she, yes, SHE, makes $56/hr after 2 hrs. As far as "waiting" to do what you want, and/or need to do, I don't do that! 2 of my tractors are getting replaced soon. I don't NEED to replace them since they're only 3 years old. I'm GOING to replace them because I can. As for waiting at the fuel desk, shipping/receiving window etc. there's NO need to get an attitude with those people! Any issues that arise there are NOT their fault! They're human too!

Sounds like you were channeling George Lucas. He added to episodes 3, 4 and 5 . Made them better, I think! Well Happy New Year Jack! You keep makin' em and I'll keep watching em!

The onset of ELDs has shown the problems in the HOS rules. Changes will need to be made at that level to continue to allow people to carve out a living g in an already difficult industry. Changes will,also need to happen at the shippers and receivers to allow for these changes.

Years ago, I almost didn't subscribe to your channel because, as an owner op, you drove a "Valvo". I've never liked that brand, but, I subscribed anyway. Now, after all these years, I'm curious. I remember the video where you sold Old Red and introduced us to The Swede. Now that you're "in the office", I wonder what ever became of Old Red and The Swede in the long run. Do you know where they are, and what they're doing now? If so, I'd like to see a video about them. Happy New Year to all!

Hope u have a good New Year Jack. We will be having a party with friend's. And we will have a ride home. Casuse me and my wife don't drink and drive.

I feel like It's always a hurry up and wait scenario

What type of side of truck angle cams do you use? I'd like those for mine.

Hmm. Load boards. My previous boss had a fleet of 15 trucks. At the same time, he was running a load board. I was always leery if he wasn't giving the good stuff away, while his senior company drivers weren't being paid more than 37 CPM.

Watching the old vids is ok havent seen all of them yet lol

It's quite simple, drive and work within the rules and you won't get any violations. We have had this recording system in Europe for many years and I never get any violations.

Up and around the bend That's a fact Jack What's the name of your show again?

Jack why didnt you do power loads only all drop and hook

In Canada, previous to the "Humboldt" incident (google it), a "professional" driver could acquire a Class 1 license within a day and be on the road same day. But now, we have a minimum requirement of ten weeks training which is no where near enough education and training or experience before you become a "professional" driver. The "professional" driver takes all responsibility for the load and equipment once the driver completes the pre-trip no matter the experience, training or education. The Carrier takes almost no liability. It's all on the "professional" driver. So, if something happened along the way, the Carrier has no liability, the driver takes full responsibility for life, limb, property and harm. They don't teach you that in school. You have the right to refuse unsafe work but if you do, you will receive reprisal. They will make you sit and your income will drop to part-time status. Bills will pile up at home. Your spouse will threaten to boot you out of the house. Your kids will suffer. You will be stressed. You will start losing sleep. Your thinking will not be correct. You will start taking chances. You will cut corners. You will take risks because the Carrier will punish you for standing up for your rights. When you have an accident it will all be on you. But with the huge shortage of drivers, there will always be another numb nuts Carrier that will hire you no matter egregious the incident. So you will always have work. The electronic logs will prevent all of that complete and utter stupidity and nonesene. I can hardly wait for it to come to Canada.

Just so you know...Pilot never has only one person in their stations at night. Company policy as is most other truck stops. If you only say one that means someone was in the back somewhere doing something...

I have always liked your videos, even when you were on the road. Quite entertaining. So many professional drivers just upload anything which consists of very little content or nothing at all, presumably for the single purpose of generating more personal revenue. I heard one guy whine because his new subscriber growth rate on KZread had slowed. This guy had around 100k subscribers. I believe it was more than that. I had already lost interest in his videos, but I unsubscribed when he complained about that. Your channel is fine and contains an interesting insight to your industry and the people who work in it. Your videos are positive and you don't ramble on about American politics. Keep making videos. Thank you and happy new year.

How do you stay in the center of the lane with the steering wheel?

I'm lucky cuz I am exempt from The eld I tow all of the semis and tow trucks are exempt from it but I dont agree with it at all it's too hard for all you drivers and it is causing them to race the clock I have seen a huge increase in semi wrecks lately

hello. i thought we were going to see something about those drivers of truck, that tie up the center lane, and will not move to the right. please respond

HAPPY NEW YEAR JACK Jack if there is someway in the new year could you explain the new Electric Logs system I don’t drive anymore but from one other trucking video I watch the driver said there is no way to edit the system I know there are times a driver will get to a shipper or receiver and have to wait to be loaded or unloaded and sometimes that could take a full day and a driver could work their 10 hr brake in but now the way I understand it if the truck moves the 14 hr clock starts could you maybe explain the new system please

What part of Indiana are you from??? I live in Nw Indiana...

If you’ve ever delivered refrigerated freight you are no stranger to waiting , that’s for damn sure.

What is ur opinion on these trucking companies going belly up last year??

Yea mr.jack that happens here in southeast texas daily. These people have no regard for human life in this damn state

Mr Jack, how does one obtain a cdl in the states. I'm a Jamaican who is planning on coming to the states in the near future

Common sense tells me that the center lane of travel is the safest. As long as you are paying attention

You will have to phone ahead. And reserve a parking spot

The ELDs really show all the work driver do. We can't even change parking spots in truck stop without logging something. They can be good and bad, they force all the companies and drivers that think sitting for free is good, to stop driving. They can't sit for free and then make up for that by driving later in the day because of the 14 hour limit. They also force dispatcher and trucking companies to be responsible for the load being late. They can't expect the drive make up time. They can be bad for the driver because their is no wiggle room for even simple mistakes. I had load to home couple weeks ago it was 3+ hour to the house but I only had 2.5 driving time. Dispatch cuts the time to close on the load planning. So you don't go home because you can't do it legal and go home. The load can't be late so the driver has to give up his/her home time.

When I'm waiting and waiting and waiting to wait....I'm watching Indian Jack!
