I love these videos. I like watching them in bed. I usually drop to sleep with them on. I mean that in a positive way. I then pick up what I missed the next day.

Enjoyed that long run Jack. Educational and the adventurous. I'm sure no love lost in New England. Feelings are mutual. Thank you once again for sharing your well done trucking adventures. Much appreciated sir.

Another great film Jack thankyou from the UK

I always enjoy your videos about your life on the road. The parade of trucks was gorgeous.

Great vid Jack! I look forward to next weeks episode.

Your videos are very well produced. They are always a treat to watch!

Hi Jack, another entertaining video..always great spending time with you.

Unfortunately being sucessful is not looked at favorabley any more in this country. As always Jack excellent film, thanks, and keep them coming.

I am so happy my OTR Trucker brother introduced me to you wonderful video blogs. You sir are "the truckers' trucker".

Thanks Jack for ride my wife liked the GW bridge (just wonderful even the travel centers) you do a great job

Jack l like the way you hight light the truck passing ( with the stop and zoo in ). Great trip

Great video, as always Jack! Continue please👍

Awesome Jack.Love your videos and I live in the northeast and i don't blame you for not wanting to come here. Safe trucking

Another great video, thank you!

Indiana Jack: I just subscribed to Trucking Exec because I too celebrate people with pools.😊😊😊😊😊Thanks for your great videos and super positive attitude and outlook, all with a sense of humor.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Another great Video 👌👌👌

Thank you for posting this great video!. I hope to watch you soon.Take care Indiana!

Whats up Indiana Jack been watching your videos ever since i started trucking I think you and JBG travels are the best old school truckers i mean top 5 keep them coming my brother

Good video as usual, thanks Jack...

Nice job on the video mr.indina Jack be safe out there and God bless u from Paris Texas God bless you and thank you for keeping American rolling

Right on point Jack! I was taught early on by my Grandfather (a trucker) not to be envious of others success.

Always nice riding along with you Jack..

As always great video Indianajack

I deliver to costco in the North east and travel through there twice a day. The best way to bypass the GW is get on exit 10 in NJ and follow that to i287 to i684. 684 to 84. Another good way is get on 80 west from 95 and get on 287 from 17. Been watching your videos for a long time and I enjoy every one. Stay safe out there.

Yes if you have to deliver in the NE area it's always smart to get advice from local drivers who do it every day. They know all the shortcuts. I have a question. If you are going into NYC from upstate NY are there tolls going in that direction.

Thanks. I forgot about I87 being the NYS Thruway but if there was another way to get to New Jersey without actually going through New York City although none of the Hudson River crossings have the tolls going out of New York. only on the inbound side.from Jersey.

from 87 get on 287 (exit15) follow that all the way to 95 unless you want to avoid the new jersey turnpike. if so from 287 you can get on US 1. i normaly get on us1 from exit 9 off 287.

nice and great video again jack.... miss that old red... lol

Hello Indiana Jack from Oklahoma ......thanks for the video ...safe travels ;)

Great job jack.

I see from your map you rolled through my hometown... Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I'm sure you said a few things to yourself about our roads here. Great footage as usual! Stay safe and watch out for those products you love so much. (starts with a N ends with an E)

Howdy Jack from Lubbock, Texas!! Enjoy your vid's!

Me and my daughter went over that bridge during the summer. We came the other way though. We was coming from Vermont to new jersey. And was on a summer time adventure!!

It is too bad I didn't know you were passing through the PA/DE/MD area on I-95 beforehand. 10 miles from where I live in PA. I would have really enjoyed meeting you in person; your videos are a true joy to watch. Wish I had found you earlier on KZread. Be safe in your travels!

Thanks Jack for another good video, can’t believe u can pay that kind of toll and still make a little money. Be safe and have a good run from calif.

I just moved out of NYC after living there my whole life. I'm in western NY state now and I love the open roads out here. Driving in and around NYC sucks to put it mildly and I drive a pickup truck. I can't imagine how it is to push an 18 wheeler around the NYC area with all the idiots in a rush in cars all over the place. I'm glad I'm out of there and I am not missing it one bit! Great video as always, be safe out there.

Great video jack

The last time I was in Milford, CT was maybe around 2001, the Pilot was half-built so I stopped at that Secondi Bros. truckstop and that was by far one of the filthiest and most run-down truck stops I had ever been to. I'm surprised they're still there, hard to tell in the video but it looks like they cleaned it up somewhat. The parking lot had holes big enough to bury your truck in, and was covered with pissbottles, trash, busted pallets, and blown tires. Inside was no better, filthy bathrooms with no toilet seats or stall doors, walls and ceilings covered with years of cigarette smoke. I can't believe they jacked up the GW bridge toll to $105, it was only $40 back in 2001. Great video as always Jack, keep up the good work.

Rubes in Newark, NJ fits that description, the only truck stop i was ever afraid to get out of the truck at night. No lights, deal deals going down and whores galore, dirt parking lot. An old an dilapidated T/S. GW toll was $20 in '94 if i remember right.

I really love your videos Jack

Hi Jack, always enjoy your vlogs. I agree with you about taking advice from someone who is,or seems to be doing well. Why someone would not support success is beyond me. I guess some people can't keep air in their blowup pool and Walmart is sold out. Just a little humour for your day. Stay safe and between the ditches.😎

And I keep coming back for more. And btw that's a good stand you took on that comment, we should celebrate other people's success as it makes us grow too. I don't blame the people, its a common notion to be jealous but it takes courage to looks beyond these materialistic things Thanks for the videos again :) God bless

David Brown, you're probably right. I haven't been up that way in years. But when I was driving to and returning from New England everyday the Tappen Zee was my bridge. The GW and the road after that I won't wish on anyone.

I LIKE going into service plazas and seeing what they have and what you get.

Your awesome Jack

Thanks for the ride, jack. It is OK by me to see service plazas and truck stops. Keep on truckin!

Jack I live in Massachusetts and love your videos.....Massachusetts is absolutely horrible when it come to truck stops. No consideration for truckers at all!! I don't blame you for never wanting to take another trip up this way lol.

Your A Great Trucker Jack

Sorry about all those tolls you had to pay Jack but me and my wife like your vids and the parade of trucks was awesome maybe someday you can make a film like parade of trucks across america but don't leave out Old Red. Always be safe out there driver and may the roads always be good to you.

Thanks Jack!!

Good to know. I always wondered what they were building there in Lubbock

You have some wise words Jack. I cant believe that guy made that pool comment lol. That W& B truck got awefully close....

Thanks Jack!

Thanks, Jack. I used to think that the people in England that complained about wind turbines being noisy neighbors were overstating a mild 'whoosh' - - - or something like that. Your video coming thru these bose speakers says that a thud is - or can be - involved, too. Sounds almost industrial.

I agree! No New England!! Hated going there. I had a pool at one house.... guess I am more successful than I thought?? Keep Trucking and I love your upbeat attitude! I wish more people in all aspects would think positive. Safe Travels!

I’m from Iowa originally and I now reside in Massachusetts moved out there a few months ago and got remarried I’m on a dedicated account for Sysco so I run Across the George Washington Bridge weekly and my usual route is all of New England I enjoyed your video stay safe out there

Hey Indiana Jack trucker gym again wow it's nice to see you in my backyard I live in Connecticut I have a house in Vermont I work out of Vermont that's something else is it

Welcome to New York!!!! My Neighborhood Washington Heights within walking distance of the GW I can walk a block and get great shots. You are driving under huge high-rise "projects on either side. The bridge lies between 178th and 179th Streets and there is a building that covers the streets off of the bridge. Those tolls are a killer for sure. Most drivers hate the Northeast for that very reason. I don't like driving in NYC and all I drive is a regular car.

You’re in my stomping grounds. Was at that very Pilot in New Milford around the same time. I don’t go into NY though. Run Regional in the Northeast. In CT and MA a lot.

I spent a lot of years out there on the road and now that my health prevents me from doing what I love, i gotta say that I really enjoy your videos. If you are going to be in the area sometime let me know. I'd love sit and talk to someone who enjoys the open road the way I did. I'm in the eastern panhandle of WV and there is a Flying J off exit 323 in VA.

Darn. I've been back and forth over that bridge for the last week. Sitting at the pilot now 😀

I live in NYC...I choose to cross on a good day...The traffic was moving...somewhat...Thanks again for an excellent video...

That's the way I used to go, but now I always bypass the George Washington Bridge by taking I-287, going around NYC then back to I-95 on the other side of NYC. It adds a few miles but it's a lot less traffic and a lot less in tolls.

Yes, when I left I took the Tappan Zee Bridge. Much better

Here in Massachusetts, we don't call them "round-a-bouts" we call them Rotaries, or Rotary. I know we are one of the few states that use them, but if you know what you're doing, they work when you have several intersecting roads. People who are already in the rotary have the right of way, so you have to wait for enough space to get into it. Some are big enough to have 2 lanes of traffic, but I don't like to be on the inner lane and then have to move to the outer one when the exit to get onto comes up. If the traffic is real busy, it can be hard to move over to the right to get the exit you want, so I stay to the outside lane.

Speaking of the wind generator, a fellow I knew in Colorado lived off I-70, West of Denver. Two cell providers had sites on his property. They paid to bring in their own power and leased the land from him. He was an electronics engineer and made good money. He said the two leases paid about what he got at work. He said another cell provider was talking with him. Apparently the existing providers were sharing one tower so the new guys would install their own tower.

Merry Christmas, Jack. Early...around the 4:15mark in the vid. you mentioned you like mentioning odd ball info. on the G W Bridge. Did you know that "The Miracle on the Hudson" passenger plane flown by Sully Sulenberger that crash landed just down river from this bridge narrowly missed it? He cleared it by less than 100feet in height. There are photo's around showing that. THAT is some freaky stuff

Gosh....I hate the GW bridge in an automobile-- I can't imagine crossing it in a truck. My "hats off" to truck drivers....you're amazing 👍

Have you ever been in Brooklyn? I just came from there to bring water from the country of Georgia. Which is northeast of Turkey. I don't recommend dropping off loads and picking them up in Brooklyn... Everyone parks right up to the corner of the street there... 24/7!!!

Just came over ot today first time for me. Got unloaded in brookyn then went west heading to monroe michigan

3 Hi! As a long retired driver I enjoy your videos. One thing I think would improve the viewing experience is the PiPs. Although when you are stopped and talking you come off well, while moving how about small PiPs(rear view) on each side only to simulate mirrors? Keep up the good work!

go to miss you and your videos

I was just passing through new York yesterday out of Connecticut one day Indiana jack traffic be a mess going across that bridge.

Good choice, the 44 from OKC to Wichita falls is just more tolls.

Usually traffic is dreadful crossin that G.Dub., I go to Secondi 's next to that Pilot in Milford when up there,, I like watching videos of places I've been to.. 👍

Any fuel cards like chasing Andrew Jackson has? Love your videos

I love the George Washington bridge! What do you do if you have to change lanes in all that traffic? I was nervous enough doing it in a car.

a bridge and tunnel, I would have liked to see much more of the entire route through New York

Hello jack well this time you literally drove though my town fairhaven ma exit 18 off 195 west bond wich is 240 south I don't blame you for not wanting to come back to the Northeast cost too much we live here we're broke too they say someday our paths may cross

If you ever find yourself in the Boston area in need of a place to park theres a shopping plasa off of I93 just north of Cambridge.

Happy you were in MA youtube truckers never really get up my way

Sometimes it seems people's only joy is the failure of other people... In our country, it seems like a norm but I find it nice in some places people very often openly encourage others to success. We get nowhere being negative, that's for sure...

The whole toll road system is completely ridiculous. Just have the government build the roads and that's it. It seems the toll roads are in crappy condition anyway.

Providence RI, my home town

Lol the Mountaire farms truck tho. I used to work there

Wish I would have known you were here in Lubbock, I would have bought you a meal or even just a coffee.

Nice trek story. Yep, too many tolls suck. I'd think that there would be big time saving if that bridge was converted to speed pass. I guess it depends which gov unit is collecting.

Oh yeah I brought that load to Niles, IL which is in Chicago!!!

Indiana Jack we think your videos are great. Even the service plazas. Meat and potatoes man.

That white Pete was a beauty.

Hi jack I give you credit u made it in and out of RI i dislike that truck unfriendly state old town small streets not a good place for trux I don't no how u stay calm all the time I enjoy your videos keep them coming thanks

You put some real effort into this video Jack. Does that fan really make that much noise ? Do you keep spare new glasses ?

hi my boyfriend Jeff is a trucker & misses being out there on the road. ( been since 2014 since he been in a truck) he would like to see if things have changed much. he's a big fan of yours. peace and thank you :)
