Dude, Kod-man is going to flip when he sees that he made it on the big time CZcams! Thanks again for taking a couple hours to come see us. We will always have a warm meal and some family time waiting. Love ya buddy!
Love the kids great that they love the truck
He reminded me to hit the like great stuff
That's awesome for sure!!
Kod-Man is an Awesome Young Blood & I personally look forward to watching future Videos of Jax Schooling Him on the Fundamentals of Life on the Open Roads! Going to be a great time
When he was in his 70's my dad used to man a volunteer free coffee bar at a rest area. Once in a while some poor broke down trucker would limp in. If the fella had to wait for service or parts, dad would call ahead to mom to fire up the stove and get ready. He'd bring a trucker or two home for a shower and a hot home cooked meal followed by some rack time with a wake up call or a game of cribbage and conversation, until the service truck was ready to head back with the parts. One fella used to drop by with a new blown glass angel bell if he would be thru when it was her birthday. Never underestimate the value of hot food, coffee, conversation and consideration that you can give to a trucker.👍
Wow! How wonderful! Thanks for sharing your family's caring of others, especially strangers.
I live about 100 miles south of Madison, GA.
The restaurant he was talking about was tore down to build the Pilot truck stop. I use to stop there on a Nashville to Savannah, GA run I use to do.
20:47. Hats off to the stud who brings his Harley with him behind the sleeper of his truck
Wild huh?!
Hit that like button and smash that bell! You tell'em Cody! Lol love it!
St. Louis shout-out! That was the Veterans Memorial /slash/Stan 'the Man' Musial bridge.
I'm parked I'd say about 34 miles (as the crow flies) SW of STL. Parked so long, my tires got roots.
Always had a spare CB-radio. Years of training drivers, I've sold many of them to newbies. Now with cell phones, everybody is a media station, and no one knows the courtesy on the radio anymore. I was one of the last White Knights of the road. Lol, and I had a black Stetson with a titanium band. And like you, hairier than the dog. But for me I inherited a wool suit to match! Thanks Dad. But not like him with the skull hair, I grew my scalp hair long like you, but a bit longer. I'd say, bout down to my vertical smile. Dang if I didn't sit on it more times than I cared to. Worked great in the cold. Used it as a muffler. Ha, I miss the road, and then again, I don't. Don't miss the long hours or the knock on the door by the lot lizards beggin' to get out. Err, uh, get in. Happy Trails Wild Wild West. Wait up, is that your handle? I go by my alias: SNAFU. In military ways the F word is used, but when asked what that means, I'll respond with Fowled Up so if kids are listening. Don't like the word, but still love the activity. HA! Take care Jax! Smooth Roads Ahead!
Your story reminded me of the time my 10 year old daughter was with me on the truck (34 years ago now) and heard the F word on the CB and immediately asked what it meant. After few moments of thought, I explained it was a bad word and she shouldn't ever use it. She insisted that there must be a meaning, then I told her to ask her mom when she got home. To make kind of a long story short, now I needed to know too. So, again I said ask your mom if we can find out the origin of the word.
Well, about a week later they seem to have found an answer after a great deal of time in research, they ended up at the Gonzaga law library for the definition. As it turned out it wasn't a word at all. It was an acronym. An acronym that was commonly used around the turn of the 20th century pertaining to the law, in regards to criminal sex offender, and the evidence of.
The prosecutor for the state would ask the court to "file under carnal knowledge" in short; F.U.C.K. the evidence. Totally misused for sure.
I’m buying it, plain & simple no more questions asked
I remember in early 80s being a kid and my father was a trucker. he ran cement at the time.
just short runs to be near his family, but i absolutely loved when he took me for rides.
this year he will be 70 and still trucking. and to this day i love the smell of diesel burning, brings me way back.
Watching you reminds me so much of my childhood. I grew up in the passenger seat of an R model Mack logging truck in North Central Idaho. Love the family vibe on your videos. By the way my new favorite saying in this day and age,...."todays people make terrible human beings"
Those children will never forget their great adventure trucking with you! Thank you, it was so fun and beautiful to watch. Little Kod-man is adorable and smart as a whip! His excitement over being on CZcams swelled my heart.
That white marble is used in landscaping a lot and is usually sold in 40 pound bags. I had a spot between the sidewalk and fence that drove me crazy, couldn’t ever get anything to grow there but weeds so I finally weeded it, laid down weed barrier fabric and filled it in with white marble rock and didn’t have to weed again. While I didn’t really love it washing the dirt off the marble once in a while was a lot better than fighting the weeds!
Glad we finished the Georgia trip 😅, that was some dang good trucking you did young man. It makes me so sad that so many ranchers have had to resort to feeding corn and straw to get their cattle through the winter, it shouldn’t be that way.
Jax you are a beautiful human being!
God bless you all and keep you safe ❤️🙏
Hi from southern Ireland Jax,
Been driving trucks for 34 years, I'll agree with being nice, I was told once, never upset the loader operator as he's the one that really slow up your day , keep on trucking my friend
I enjoy watching your travels. My dad had 5 grain semi’s and run mostly western us. Then I married a truck driver and he had his own rig. They are both gone now but I remember the weird schedules and all the things that happen on the road. Prayers for safe travels for you and your family always. I even drove one trip as we needed to get home and my hubby was so tired. Stay safe and Keep trucking!
I deliver structural tubing to lots of farms and ranches and love it when they say it's no problem getting up to their place cause they have trucks in and out all the time meaning their pickups pulling stock trailers
Like how you handled the safety guy. In my work we have a company safety officer. Most customers have their own safety officer. Then there's the state occupational safety officers with tens of thousands of conflicting regulations. Just like DOT. Everybody looking for some reason to justify their jobs. I used to hunt Lysite Agate out in those lonely Wyoming hills. Great video.
Jax, I love all of your adventures. It doesnt matter what it is I always learn something. You and your family are always in my prayers. from northwestern New Mex,
I worked on the Schute Creek and LaBarge projects in the early to mid 80s, in the winter both times one on the night crew. It was so cold, when you melted the ice and snow off the pipe, as I was a pipefitter, as soon as it hit the bottom of the hooch it would freeze instantaneously.
12days on 2 days off. I would drive my 72 AMX javelin to Chubbuck and come back Monday to work the night shift..
In May we had 3-4 feet of snow in LaBarge to Jackson Hole.
We had snow this morning here in Southern California. How ironic. I move to Southern California to get away from the snow and ice, and I miscalculated on that...
God bless you and your loved ones
Godspeed
I was assigned a 660 KW yrs ago. I loved that truck and it was great. Also when I drove through heavy rain the ABS light would come on and go off when things dried up. Eventually the vendor figured out what it was and they fixed it.
'Hi guys it's Kel and I've got a solution.' Watch Wild Wild West. Jax and the gang are the best!
I live in S.C. but only 10 miles from Augusta,G.A. You were talking about spring fever in January but to us that's just normal.Its great in the winter but our summers are brutal especially the humidity and I hate it lol
Thanks for the road trip Jaxs. Your Awesome.😁
AWESOME JOURNEY! AWESOME VIDEO! THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONE!
Was little wild I am watching and I am like hey that looks a lot like my home area, I rewind zoom in & realize yeap that 1 tree that 1 twig I knew it looked familiar 😉. Maybe not a twig but odd little things you dont even realize you see and when watching a video something so small you recognize, realize hey that's my road, my area, it is just weird. I know it not unusally especially nowadays with all videos cameras that you going see your area on a video. What was odd to me was it was the little things I seen on the side of road and the road that I didn't even know I knew was like a landmark for me because you think of big signs, buildings, or mile marker as what you recognize, not what catch my eye yes validated later by seeing a sign or building but not what made me go wait what.
Jax Thanks for the journey REALLY ENJOYED IT!
Be Safe!
Keep Your Head Up! 👍
I'm retired military,, we go however long, and just do what you have to do,, Im so glad that I found your videos,, so real,, the way it is,,
Hi Jaxon it is so funny to see you when you g'ets angry and tells the story agian about the safety guy 😂😂😂 our eyes gets smal when our angry 🤣🤣
Oh man would I like to ride along with you, teaching people about how they use language improperly is one of favorite things to do. To stand by and watch you do that would be very entertaining, not that the story wasn't entertaining already. Thanks for the smiles.
Kinda cool to see ya down around my neck of the woods. I live about 45 min southeast of Paducah, Ky
Awesome stories, Jax! :) The salt on cars hurts my soul, too.
" And here's your sign" to quote Bill Engvall!!
Just left Georgia going to ky
Hi another top video full of content and well informed video stay safe out there and keep on trucking from the uk 🇬🇧
I parked in a actual spot on the end like that and had a J.B. Hunt take my right front fender off my truck
You're a great man Jax. Don't know why anyone would treat you with disrespect and ugliness. My brother always disliked trucking anything east of the Mississippi River. Really enjoy these videos and your content. Hope all is well with your family. God bless
My dad used to tell me when the back of your mirrors freezing up the rd will be getting slick stay safe brother good to see you are rolling a lot of guys are sitting still no loads worth it 😢
Thank you for standing your ground.
The secretary of the company I work at lives in Dallas GA. I work in Nashville and live just south of the metro area! Loved the video seeing all my stomping ground on youtube!
Another Georgia fan here. I live about 10 miles East of Dallas Ga.. That was quite a trip, thatnks for taking us along.
Love these videos Jax. Love to see your adventures.
Absolutely LOVE your content!! But camping in the ticket lane across the bridge is FROWNED upon!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Jaxs you are a pretty good adventurous truck driver always a great video thanks
Jax’s I love watching you’r videos you alway’s have really good ones keep it up and have a wonderful day.
Glad you like them!
You get to have all the fun. I love that I miss it snow backed up. My buddy was overland tracker and I've been all the way from California to Alabama. L o yeah great job brother!
JAX!!!!! I LIVE 15 MINS FROM Dallas GA!! Taylorsville GA!!! THAT IS A SMALL WORLD BROTHER!!! COME CHECK OUT TAYLORSVILLE!!!!🇺🇲
Truckers, gotta lovem!!😅
Thank you very much for bringing us along on your journey Jax!!! I love and appreciate your videos and REALLY looking forward to all the NASCAR stories as I'm a fan!! Thanks again buddy and safe travels!
Small world, I used to haul loads in Talking Rock!
I like your positive attitude.. I lost that after driving for 20 years . Got agree at all drivers and road rage decided to quit driving. I'm a better person now
The truck stop he's probably talking about is or was (been awhile since I was there, might not be now) a really good stop for a meal. They had dollar bills on walls and ceiling from all drivers. When there was a wreck and a driver died on moneteagle they would donate all the money to the drivers family. Dad always stopped there when I rode with him as a little boy. I drive myself and pull jopper and livestock. But I miss going over Monteagle.
be careful and safe outside there
Great video as always! Your uploads, be it here or steady at the wheel, are the only things I genuinely look forward to on CZcams
I could feel the anger and frustration boiling up in me as you described your experience with the crazed and power hungry safety guy. Mainly bc I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had the exact same style of confrontation with a power hungry guard who thinks their “authority” actually means something lol. Or a shipping and receiving clerk who forgets if it weren’t for me, and many like me, they wouldn’t have a job to begin with.
Anyway, lol, again I loved the upload! Stay safe
I love it. I unloaded in Casper Wyoming February 2, I wish I would have known. I would have tooted the ol train horn as I drove by Lysite at 60 mph. On my way home to Idaho 😂
Valdosta GA, in the house!
Good job and stay safe out there
Mount Eagle(Top of the Rock)there was a really good truck stop restaurant where the Pilot came in and ruined it like they do everywhere they buy out
Used to hate it when dad pulled in home with his truck looking like your did at the truck stop all that salt on it it was time to get ready to freeze your but off an start washing we didn't have a pressure washer back then it was a frozen up water hose an ice cold water you couldn't fill anything when you got done clothes were frozen up yourself was frozen up it was fun 😉 👍🏻
I have never personally pulled one but I see them around from time to time but man that hopper trailer is super versatile!!! I'm really impressed with the stuff you can put it , I never considered it but like you said pretty much anything that will kinda flow will come out
Another epic episode!
I still cannot fathom the immense size of the US compared to the UK and the amount of miles you cover.
Matt really bought this episode together with the editing at the end, and I liked being able to tie up the stories of the steady at the wheel podcast with a video 😁👍
Always a spot to park at co ops. You're pulling hopper or livestock, most co ops won't mind a overnight pull off. I've done it for years. Especially, if your a early up driver. I personally would do that then parking at a rest area or truck stop.
I preach this to my kids allllll the time. Start off every interaction nice. Kind doesn't mean weak.
Thats cool you met up with a friend and showed the kids the way. This is the way as mandalorians say😂 Thanks for the update and the peaceful drive👊Have a great day brother🙏😎
Jax I completely agree with you on the use of the F word. It gets me heated all the time!!!
Fantastic video. I use to live in Douglas, Casper and Lusk Wyoming thinking about moving back from Arizona
I'm from Michigan and I have a bunch of buddies I met mudbogging they're all from Dallas Georgia 😂
I love that truck stop in South Dakota.
you are down the street from my house am glad Georgia is on your mind
Once again Jax great video I was getting tired from all that driving you doing mate happy travels bud
Hay if that abs light for your trailer on your 3rd axle or we call it tag check your senior they slide out of there holder just push them back in and it should go out.
Obviously another great video. Keep up the great work Jax.
Parking east of the Mississippi is ridiculous. I keep looking for you. I truck all 48 states. I was in Billings the other day. I was surprised there were no cattle trucks at the Pilot
As always, a great adventure. As for your catchy last line... Mr. Gas man... I pray for your wife...lol
Rear end breather. Great adventure as always, brother. 😂 I’ve had to use the end of the parking/rest area - basically over the fog line of the re-entry/on-ramp for the ‘ol PowerSmoke a few times.
Sign sign everywhere a sign. Hell yeah brother, good stuff keep up the good work!! Enjoy seeing Wyoming in your video, we live at the bottom of the mountains you where looking at leaving that place in lysine. Pretty sure even know the people you dropped that load at. Good stuff keep it up.
Snoman Says So!!⛄️☃️
Jackson,,, it's real man working,,
Hey there young man! Love to see you frequently use the "coffee Cup" off of I90 in So. Dak! My cousin Mary's farm is just 3 miles strait south of there. The place is a gas stop for me whenever I head up to the homestead north of Gettysburg. Thoroughly enjoy your content!
Nice trip, think you could use some wipers
Haha. Just bought my 2013 f150 from Dallas Ga. I’m a little south in Heard Co!
You were in my neck of the woods. If you find yourself going to GA, and I'm assuming you took 24 in, there is a shortcut of sorts around Nashville so you don't have to play lane change games to get thru. It adds some miles to your trip but saves time in traffic. Once you get in TN take exit 43 that exit splits into 2 exits take 52nd toward Opryland. Follow that to interstate 40 E. Then take interstate 840 back around to 24 E. On 840 there is a Love's it's Couchville Pike exit. If it's full you can park on the left side of the street.
YOU are fantastic driver!!!
Love these long videos😎 great one just like always
I love how honest you are… “took a break and let the scale close.” Haha
I absolutely love your videos! Thanks for bringing us along on the adventures.
Wow! the morning after that night run through the sleet and seeing all that salt all over the rig and the trailer. I know what salt does to the hardware, I feel for you because I know you take care of your equipment
Watching this Video is my ride home 50% of the time!!! Lol
Man your great guy
Love watching your videos
Hello there Jax. Hope all is well...me ? Not so well... hospice has been here since 6am...not such a great day. Stay safe out there and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.👍✌️🙏🙏
Sorry to hear it my friend. 😕 The changes of life are difficult. Hang in as best you can ♥️
@@realwildwildwest thank you Jax. I appreciate you commenting...I know you're a very busy fella. Much love from West Virginia 👍✌️🙏🙏
Great content. Keep it coming
such a good video you always make me laugh and smile love your sense of humor keep up your vids and keep on trucking
Jax Right On Be Nice, Tell Em Like it is, Life is Short., Don't Need all That Hate & Disconnect! Why Can't We All Just Get Along!!
On the road again, new Jake brake and visit his friend, hauling sunflower seeds, rocks, and pellets, places Jax never been. Like a cow trucker figuring his log book with a laser pen, He can't wait to get on the snow again.
😁
Great video!!
There definitely is a lot less good "sit down" places to eat on the road. I'm one of the old truckers now (weird to admit that...). But I gotta say your attitude is awesome. Enjoying the ride is the secret. And treating your customers with respect always makes pickup and delivery easier. My motto is "your house, your rules" at the stops and they appreciate that. but dude you gotta fix the cracked windshield, kinda a flag for DOT inspection . Enjoy and be safe.
Awesome, that’s exactly what I do.
One day I hope to get my channel where yours is,love seeing local CZcamsrs getting big!
Rock & Roll 🤘
What ive found is if your not parked around 1900 to 2000 especialy near the est cst line you better just consider pushin thru to ur load/unload site. Or prepare to park on a rest area ramp. Bout 0130 you can start seein some spots open up.
I went and made a few google map lists of hole in wall park spots, reat areas, just to help plan my runs
Even have a washout list aimed for hoppers.
Sadly no way to really share these publicly for all to use very well.
Well, believe it or not.. I do live in Dallas, Ga.
I like in Ringgold, Ga.
Thank you for sharing some of the spectacular scenery that you encounterd on your trip. great content as usual.
Like Dad done ,, and is still doing
The guy that you were behind while passing the truck in the ditch probably couldn’t see with the tow trucks lights, and your high beams on shining in his mirror.
the Smokehouse on top of Mont Eagle could have been the place,it burnt to the ground April 28 2021
