I mistimed the Grand Canyon 

The teacher, the preacher and the truck driver👍🏻 Thanks for sharing…… to be continued👏🏻

Your energy and attitude for life is quite amazing. I’m a new subscriber. Thanks for the opportunity to allow us to share your daily doings. Hope all are well and safe.

I really appreciate you being true about life and family thank you it's nice to hear that these days that we live in I hope the best for you and your family and thank you for the videos

The time-lapse drive out, you could definitely see how bad that road was! The lights show the ruts better.

Love the Channel Jax!!! Great business advice with the fuel info. I had a 2014 389 black cherry pearl. Beautful truck!! I was an owner operator with AIR Freight. My friend had a 2014 Freightliner. Almost 3 mpg difference. I looked good burning money. I figured it out. Love the music of the Sightliners!!!

Once had a young porcupine in my basement. Since there was about a foot of water from my husband over watered the field behind our home, I had my teenaged son go into the basement to turn on the sump pump. As he walked down the steps and he got whapped by the quill filled tale. The mobile pincushion jumped into the small pond that was my basement, and swam into the back. Luckily my son was wearing long jeans. In the meantime, my husband and I managed to capture this scared, wet and pissed off porcupine into a trap. I should mention we had to tear apart our furnace to find it! What a wildlife rodeo that was. Ended up driving about 50 miles to release on a pine covered mountain. We all still laugh about it now. Hope you saved those quills as they make beautiful adornments on leather, such as bags and such, when you culled the ones over running your ranch. And I hope your truck is fixed next time. It's the little minor glitches that are so annoying, isn't it, Jax? Be safe.

Thats a huge bummer being that close and not getting to check it out but keep in mind how much stuff guys like us construction / farming/ truck driving get to see and do that the average people never get to !

My grandparents used to live in Silt when I was growing up, when there was only a little general store and about 10 houses. And i have an Aunt that lives in Rifle now. Lots of great memories and beautiful country. Thanks for sharing!

So true Jax, we seen so, so so many miles of country, but when you sit back and think about all the miles you see, all you got to see was what was visable from the 60 mile a hour window. there was so much people talk about that I never got to see because i had to just drive my life away right past it all. there was one trip I made. I flew out to vancouver to get a truck and load to go to edmonton. working out the details with Canadian Freightways/Transforce, I was able to fly my partener out with me, and I had 5 days to travel from vancouver to edmonton, and the freedom to say take a baby vacation, some places I hadda drop the trailer to get to some attractions, others I think we shocked all the vacationers how we got there with the unit all together. But hey it was a super fun, well worth the bang for the buck trip we got to take. chuckles, even though my partener is the worlds worst traveler. she wants to go every where, but after the first day she does not wanna do it any longer. so I gotta use my head strong stubornness and just put up with her and make her make the best of our situations.

Dude!!!! I just happened to click on this video because of the cabover, and then I see a CXT on your trailer! Wow! I used to be the main installer for the east side of the country. I covered 39 states! I even put one in IN rifle Colorado. Man, those were some adventures. But I had to come home eventually to Spokane, where they WERE making those things.

Yes there’s a lot of our country I haven’t seen, I just subscribed love what you’re sharing I’ll be watching for more

In a lot of states, if your air or electric lines are rubbing against the platform without a protective cover, DOT will cite you.

Great trucker's adventure Jax but we both know that fuel is money and how much you can recover from the trip great video thanks Jax

Bummer you missed the Grand Canyon, don't feel to bad I haven't been either, flown over quite a few times though. Cool to see you hauling some Big Bubba trailers! That's just down the road from me. As always great video.

Got me a load of liquid High Speed Crop Feed headed to the port of entry north of Plentywood MT, loading it here in the Texas Panhandle! Thought about ya when it got called in… Great video as usual buddy 🚛💨💨💨

They all tell a story,trucks have a life of there own

You might want to keep a spare headlight switch and the plug that goes onto it. The old Internationals were known to heat them up and melt the switch. just a tip.

Great video very entertaining,also instructional for new drivers.Well done.

Great video Jax! Your insight on fuel prices etc is awesome. We are headed for a recession.(hope not). As far as the Grand Canyon I was there with my boys a few years back. It’s an awesome place but so many people we couldn’t get close to it. We rolled through it in about 3 hrs and headed north. Didn’t have the time or patience to explore it. I get your dilemma. Keep on trucking! Love the new truck!

Great message Jax "there's a way." We also have a Sleeping Giant in Thunder Bay. Talk about a loud snore!👀

11:17 -- Could you imagine being the first ones to approach the Grand Canyon--just peering over the edge for a hot minute before one turned to the other and said, "How do we get over that, George!" Hopefully, they came across it during the day and not at night.

Shucks Jax, I’m sorry you didn’t get to see the Grand Canyon! Hopefully next time. You and Luke have mentioned several times on Asleep At The Wheel how frugal you are when it comes to fuel mileage. 🤣 I really enjoy seeing the older trucks out on the road. Any news yet on #5? ❤🙏

Jax I’m sure if someone saw you washing your face in that river they’d think you were a mountain man stopping by on his way through the hills looking for more porcupine and other game to trap 😂

dude your killing me right now a yr ago I drove my family from Cleveland...I stopped and have pics in rifle and the rest stop then you go to talking about moab where we went..the most beautiful place on earth to me...arches park and all...be safe and godblesswe are moving soon i hope

Aww, too bad you missed the Grand Canyon. Just means ya have to go back with the kids! (That would be a cool vid.) Surprised the crew made you wait while they did the whole install of the outhouse and that they were working through the night. Then you're on to the next stop. Thanks for all the views and commentary from your perspective. Always interesting!

Awesome video! I stumbled on your channel as a NASCAR fan and I’m SO glad I did, love your videos, your personality as well as your knowledge you share in each and every video! Thank you kind sir!🫡 (side note, I started watching heavy D a few weeks before I saw your first video now a few months in I recently watched an old video with you in it too! I said to myself “hey I know him, how freakin cool!!” 😆 Small world lol)

Diesel prices are still way out of control here in Calif. Got stuck and had to pay $6.20 on the 99 north of Bakersfield!

That's awesome 😎

I’ve mentioned it before, as well as on my channel, but I just sold my 05 379 with the Acert. It was a dream truck of mine, but my ultimate dream is providing the best I can fit my family and growing the company. So o feel privileged to be able to say I’ve owned my dream truck, but decided getting 8 mpg over a 3k mile week is a STUPID amount of money compared to the 5-5.5 I was getting in the 379. Talking SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS per month. That’d more than a lot of W-2 employees make..period. Lol. And I’m wasting it in fuel. I just couldn’t justify it anymore.

When you can use the bathroom in a cement room deep in the woods...... Thank a trucker!!!

missed watching your videos... you are awesomely smart!!

The shifter boot sounds like something a zip tie could fix.

That is because the water for the tree goes up the tree direcrly bebind the bark. Peoppe do the same tbing so they have standing deadwood to use as firewood for dollowing years

A small leak from the water pump,telltale,hole is usually a sign of slight wear but should be good for awhile yet

Beautiful lake

The whole cabover hype in the US are quite funny for a Swede, since here in Sweden 99.5% of all trucks are cabover 😁

You’re awesome. Thanks for this!

Spent lots of time under the Bright angel lodge in the old steam tunnels and at desert view doing electrical work. The canyon is a great place. All the old wires in those buildings not so much.😂

Issac your music on the outof the GC? GOODSTUFF

Herd or Ali arc are two of the GOOD bumpers /grill guards that will protect your truck..(put that SEATBELT on mr.)..I like that cabover..how does she ride and is it easy to get in and out of the sleeper?..I ve always wanted to try driving a cabover...thoes argosy's are bad ass I sat in one I had room to stand up and walk to the back..

Saw you at harlo track meet. Your son is fast at hurdles!

Well Jax... You COULD have just stayed there over night.... "Gotta check out some weird Noice the truck is making, Aaand the water pump, Yeah! Gotta do what you gotta do you know!"

Just curious, but now that you video your spot checks, etc. Have you looked at them for reference?

The welds on those trailers are terrible. Nice truck, really like the cab overs.

7:40 -- It's not hot in Texas until it hits 100*.

Do you have a exhaust leak? I think I hear tick tick noises. Got to love them old IH cab overs.

Love the content brother! I just had an injector go out on my K-100 with a 400 BC Cummins and did it for cheap! If y’all ever need injectors check Premco out! Very nice and knowledgeable people over there and get them to you quickly! Be safe brother!

I want to know if the album came out

Hey there bud. Hope all is well ✌️👍🙏🙏

Especially comes to your dogs you have to tie your dog to get them out but those porcine quills seems into your dogs

If they ever did a remake of Jeremiah Johnson, you could play the lead, with no changes to your appearance what-so-ever, lol. I was just wondering if it is normal OP to make you wait while they installed the bathroom?

Man we decided to try to help out a rez dog that got into a porcupine. We put a tire on him that I laid on and my brother got the pliers going. That was a noisy fight.

That's a scary lift on the trailers Jax

Next time your at heavy d you need to tell Alan at mtn fortress needs volunteers to get more built help him like Cerro gordo

Since you brought up the subject of fuel ⛽️ mileage, I've been told by several friends that are long time truckers, that the Detroit engines get the best mileage while still giving higher power levels. What's your experience with this one way or another, and is any of your rigs running Detroit engines? The reason I ask is some say that Detroit can't compete with the cats as far as performance and longevity. I've been in both setups, and I honestly can't from the passenger seat tell much difference, with the exception of the exhaust. Cats have a deeper tone coming from the stacks, but Detroit seems to rev higher, and sounds pissed off when going through the gears coming up to highway speeds. Now had it probably been the same driver with similar loads, and the terrain been more consistent with each trip I've been on.. That and I believe that the transmission were all different as they varied between 13 speeds and up to one 18 speed. Which changes things in my mind as to the shift points, as well as the tone of the exhaust. No one I'm aware of has a Cummins, unless it's in their trucks

Was that bigfoot😢😂😂😂,looked scary getting out on that trail/road

When you were loading trailers you were in my neck of the woods would love to meet you and show you my rig you've never seen anything quite like this enjoy you're vidieos

Haulin one of Booms poopers huh?

Forty years working on semi truck’s never saw anything so sketchy. That’s so dangerous and no trailer brakes, that tow company needs reported. If that comes loose it could kill an entire family in a car.

Porcupines strip off the outer bark to get to the inner bark, known as phloem. It's full of sugars, amino acids, vitamins, and organic and inorganic acids. All that said, yeah, it tends to destroy the tree.

I would love to have one of those trailers i need one but can't afford to get one

Better mileage at night. That good air

My thought, with those tires wearing funny like that on the trailer, could possibly be worn out bushings on the trailer. They are definitely the most un-thought of an most neglected piece/parts on equipment. Might want to have’m replaced in the future.

I put trailer's in the door to be loaded at my work. There had been a company called JR transportation company There for weeks. He had a neat old cab over. He told me his grandfather brought new in 92 and he spent a year getting it road ready again. Just because it meant something to him. Last week he had a car pull out in front of him and to keep front running over the car he took the ditch and hit a soft spot and totaled it. Tore it to pieces. Come to find out the car that caused the accident had been doing this for insurance claims.

Best attitude ever jax great voice to if your ever in the uk i would love you as a cab buddy for a run cab over baby!!

I had a girlfriend that lived in Rifle, and that rest area is where she told me she wasn't intrested in being my girlfriend any longer. But it's a beautiful rest area anyhow. 😊

Jax what happened to the NASCAR gig?

That’s my favorite body style love seeing it still on the turn n burn

my 30ft class c gets 9 when I drive at 55, drops to 5 to 6 if i go 60 to 65. Also, law of diminishing returns, look it up. Im a slow poke, with money.

42:25 -- That left a wet spot.

Have you ever verified your speedo reading with real time Gps? It says you're doing 60, but that seems pretty fast for 60...

Listening to your insight on fuel prices etc. realizing you are not getting full value out of that seat belt.

What are you allowed to gross with a 5 axle B train in Montana?

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.....

Porcupines don't not enjoy my presence

Where abouts in Montana I went to college university of Montana

Sounds like one bad injector.

I do not like porcupines at all,have taken many of them out over the years,road you didn't smoke any them elk too.i recall back to when I was surveying pipe lines we in many instances where near a lot of cool stuff but I could not go to see it cause "improper use of company vehicle" and such .

Hiiii 0:23 News new people

Shoulda hollered I’m 30 minutes from the canyon.

That's true. Slow down to save some money on fuel

Pretty pathetic welds on those trailers..lol

It is illegal to have your straps on the outside of the rub rail on your trailer. If you hit something it cuts your straps

3.19 a gallon here in Shreveport today

Jax, I'm telling you man. Kicking those tires have longterm downsides. Do yourself a favor and thump em with a hammer, your future knees will thank you.

Is there a reason they couldnt unload you and put their stuff on the ground and send you on your way...Is time, not! Money.

Just looking for a few sane people who know what time it is.

Your precious blue cabover sounds BAD… it sounds like it has a case of rod knock…cabover’s also get the worst mileage of any truck (horrible design, like pushing a brick wall against the wind)…

Every native Americans we don't have tools brother our politicians they bezels the money which united states government brother

C'mon Jax, you've been on the road long enough to know when singular speaking of a tractor/ truck is not call a semi. All semi means is combination, not a truck/ tractor.

Vote with your wallet people

God hope Trump back my work has dropped

Some ppl would rather be homeless than chromeless

#TRUMP2024 get fuel back to normal Democrats always raise fuel prices and they get in wtf

Can't wait for the next episode,your work ethic and your video editing etc are amazing 👍💯

Trucking has been kind of depressing recently, but you brother make it look a happy job, like in the old days.

The term is "shanking" a tree, nutrients move up inside the bark so once exposed 360 it's over,

I love the videos brother keep up the great work and I'll keep watching would love to meet you someday you seem like one hell of a cool dude I've been driving truck myself for 13 years

Thank you jax! I started trucking 16 years ago at 21 and just a year ago I decided to be an owner op. My first thought was I need a 359 or 379. Then I saw your videos. A cow hauler with aero trucks?what!?? Then I realized why and felt comfortable because of you to buy my cascadia and have fell in love with it. Again thank you my man!

Diesel sign says $5.55 gallon?
