You do a great job Jack. In my opinion, you are the best trucking blogger on RU-vid. The only recommendation I have is go back to your old introduction music, I miss it! The one where you wave as you're pulling out of the driveway and Old Red is swaying back and forth.
I believe you encountered a school trip. May is notorious up here in Mich. for the teens going to Cedar Point or Greenfield Village, a couple others....about sewers...I read a book about infrastructure called "ON The Grid" and he explained that sewer pipes are always placed underground with a tilt to assist the flow. BUT...that tilt HAS to be slight because experience has taught them that the more solid stuff will not stay in the flow and keep moving when the tilt is more than an inch or so per 100 ft. and clogs are more likely. Many underground electric pumps are used to assist...and mostly to LIFT the flow into the next section of pipe. Sounds like they have to place a pump that shouldn't have been necessary. I consider your videos one of my 'programs' now. It took me a minute to notice, but I don't hear swears in your videos. You're smart enough to think of the real word. Good work, sir.
You made the right choice as usual, I'm regretting the burger king. Sandwich all the way! Just don't feed those birds, they'll thank you by 'decorating' your truck.
Nice ride through Florida Jack. I enjoy the diversity of your adventures. And, always well edited. Thanks as usual for sharing. First class big rig adventures. Like a Professor!! Ha, ha.
Great video Jack. I love it when you show Florida or the South in general. I discovered Vans sneakers because of watching your older videos. Greetings from Connecticut.
Great work Jack. I like your even demeanor... maybe the truck stops should pay you a consulting fee, and give you a blank piece of paper to provide input on! Always a great ride.👍🇺🇸
I had the privilege of riding greyhound back in 98 when I went to work for CRST. I had to go from Oklahoma City back to Atlanta after orientation. It was a nightmare 36 hour bus ride! I met some really strange characters on that ride. I believe that will be my only ride with Greyhound.
Hi Jack...I'm not a trucker but have filled my diesel pusher many times at the Pilot in South Bay. You came through my home town of Clewiston on your way home to Polk City.
Hey Jack, here in Western Europe, that season is also known as the dirty season since it's impossible to get a shower, even a non-cleaned one...so yes, I agree !
Whenever I unloaded at a construction site, the men had a forklift type thingy called a “pettibone” with an extendable forklift that could reach into a 53’ trailer, and they did all the unloading, easy peasy in and out...that’s what she said OH SHIT , there is the blue pettibone, I spoke too soon haha good stuff man..
Your wonderful narration truly makes me feel like I am in the passenger seat! Next time I am in those cities of Florida I will have to stop in a,d say hello!
Hi Jack, I hope your doing well and thank you for all your great videos. I am currently planning a trip to Miami from Montana with a load, once I make the long journey west to east and start heading south I was wondering if you have any favorite truck stops down that way, any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Safe journeys and thx again.
Glad you had a good trip down to the Sunshine State and it's funny that you stayed there in Cocoa cuz that's where I was born and raised and used to truck out of with my dad back in the 70s into the 80s we used to run all over the state up in the Georgia
Hey Jack he probably uses the extra floor mats to cover his windows! Because u NEVER know what kind of WEIRDO is going to be looking in ur truck whenever ur not looking 😳
Hay Jack Wecome to Cocoa. I enjoy your vidios. Did you notice the large complex behind pilot . It's a walmart distrubition center. O well so much for our hidden paradice. Keep the rubber side down Jim H
They may have had two different contractors working on two parts of the sewer, you would expose the pipe you are working toward to make sure the pipes lined up, they may not have had the fall needed to meet up with the original pipe it looks like a flat area of ground
There either going or coming back from Orlando Florida. From Graduation Week festivities based on the t shirt one young man wore as you we're vlogging at lunch time
hi jack, FYI , during construction every job-site has a specific "bench mark" that all trades use in order to establish their various systems or structural elements of the building and all elevations are taken from this "bench mark" which may include footings, foundations and most importantly sewer and storm systems, seems like someone messed up on their math when sanitation system was being layed out, very expensive mistake....tc
My neck of the woods Palm Beach County I am a 911 Dispatcher for the County I heard your gps say US-27 when you pulled out of the Pilot. Did you see any gators?
I travelled there with Greyhound bus. Im from Finland and I did not smell anything. I visit the Flying J Brunswick GA 2015, im not complaining anything
'Tourists', not to be confused with terrorists. Yeah, it seems lately that riding greyhound coach is one bar lower than navigating certain Florida Walmart parking lots.
I'm glad you fed the birds, because they feed us -IE Chickens, Geese, Ducks, Quail, etc......... When you compare a WaWa to a truck stop, I think per size, WaWa probably has a much higher profit margin. WaWa has way less maintenance, and probably sells almost as much gasoline and sandwiches as does a truck stop, & no showers to clean, all on about 1/2 Acre of real estate, what do you think? ............ Do you think Old Red got a complex parked beside that newer looking Volvo with the mud flaps inside? BTW, he may own more than one truck and is dropping the mud flaps off to repair another truck. A coordinator from Mercer told me she has a few drivers that own as many as 12 trucks, two woman drivers, and several man & wife team drivers and she handles 42 trucks currently. I also found out trucks with generators seldom have Regen Cycles.... Nicely shot Vlog Jack, thanks for leaving me ride along with you.
Greyhound passengers have B.O. ,I know this because Star Transportation and Gainey trans (are they still around) sent me a bus ticket to get to their terminal for orientation, it was horrible haha, never again, he that was funny that you said that..😎
Sir Indians Jack !!! Come on now,,,you know there ain't no cure for bad b/o other than a good shower !!!! Anyhows,, enjoy your run thru FL...!!!!!!!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!!!!
Well with the greyhound passengers, the smelly ones are usually the ones midway through or are concluding their long distance cross country trips. With that being said, greyhound should provide showers at every major layover/transfer point for said long distance passengers.
When you flush your toilet at home, it flows downhill via gravity to a lift station several blocks away. Then it is held in a very deep tank until the tank fills to a predetermined level. Then it is pumped to a sewage treatment plant for processing. Here is where this acronym came from. Old Englist term when they transported manure by Sailing Ships. S = Ship H = High I = In T = Transport
That J is tight when packed, had my starter quit on me in the fuel lane there but was able to knock it to start up one last time to get to a spot. Had to get a guy come out to replace it......what a night that was....SMH😣😩😤
