yes sir can't beat those truck stop cafe's, and you're right about watching a 35 yo man put lotion on, never thought i would do that. But then again, never thought I would run across a driver of your caliber. You're 1 in a million Mr.Jax.💯👍

I remember, as a young girl, my family would travel from Los Angeles area to visit relatives way up almost to the tip-top of Maine, to a small town called Van Buren. I also remember my dad telling me, that always look for where there are a lot of trucks and truck drivers parked and if they are near a restaurant or Cafe. Why I asked, and he replied, cause truckers AWAYS know where the best coffee and food is. 👍💯

Thanx for bringing these videos to viewers Jax. It exposes people to a way of life that many have no exposure to. I was born and raised in the Central Valley of California, still live here, grew up on a farm and when I was a young girl would haul almonds with my dad to the almond plant in Sacramento(he would drive at night too). One thing I appreciate about you is that you talk with people, chit chat, make them laugh. I like to do that too- like you said, connect to,people. Thanx for your videos.

As a wisconsinite i would like to welcome you to our crappy roads. Lol. I am a farmer and trucker. Never knew you could run heavier out west. Seems foolish to not be more uniform. Thanks for the ride and be safe!!

some of best sleeps in a truck. motor sitting there purring away heat set just right. trying to park sorta level, allot of my sleeps was winter months mostly i never did alot of sumer driving in the later years of my driving carreer. and i so agree if you actually find a truck stop diner it is best. and yes some times a lift up hug. now most are franchise restraunts ICK.

I spit my coffee out when you sprayed that axe body spray in your face, then had to get out of the cab because it’s so strong. I have twin boys, when the were little we would go shopping with their mom. When she was trying things on the boys would spray themselves with the perfume samples. Oh the memories! Thanks for sharing.

I love truck stop dinner cafes best food. My kids think i talk to much to people but i tell them always be friendly to everyone you meet at places you buy things or do business, you never know you might run into them again and be able to help them and always be respectful

As a young nebraskan not far behind you in years (I'm 34) you mentioning Alda made me perk up. My dad's side of the family lives not to far from there.

Love these loooong videos. Really enjoy your stuff man, such positive energy

Jax, Kawasaki 650 guy here. My wife and I would always have a warm bed, hot meal and soft water shower for you whenever you’re passing through Galesburg, Illinois from Indiana, back to the northwest on I-74.

I saw a purple semi in your drone footage. Every time we hit the road and I see a purple semi my kids have to turn off their screens until they spot a purple semi. Makes for good memories and sometimes some ticked off kids.😈

Loaded heavy and avoid the scales. Gotta pay the bills. Be safe out there

Thank you for the ride along, looking forward to seeing the next one. Here in the UK we have motorway services but there's a few old school truckstops knocking around if you know where they are & they make proper meals not like the fast food outlets in the services. Keep staff out on them roads.

I sure enjoyed the ride along and just listening to your stories! You are very calming to me! Love all the laughs! God bless you and your family!

This is all too relatable… in some ways better than others 😂 the demons in your mind at 1am when you see a bear sitting in the median knowing your are a couple ton over…. Love it. Keeps a guy on his toes. Not a better feeling than pulling into that elevator at 3 am knowing you got er there. Shiny side up !

THIS GUY IS THE BEST YOU TUBER THERE IS !!!!!!!

Another quality video from the Ol’ Battle Axe, himself. I’ve learned a lot from these vlogs! Never understood the whole weights thing but I have a much better understanding. I thought Eric said “it comes from Iraq” at first. Figured out he was saying a rock. We had several truck stop Cafes outside of Tucson we would go to when we wanted some delicious chicken fried steak! Many have closed now and its a real shame. Be safe out there, Shum. “C’mon”

I love the trucking vlogs keep them coming!!!! We’re going to meet one day man

Thanks for the ride Jax, Be safe and Blessed

Best thing about Chicago is I did my time there..... Safe travels!

Jaxs just wanted to let you know I've been watching your videos from the beginning just to catch up with all your videos.I'm loving all of them ( you are truly blessed by God's love and it shows).what you share with your KZfaq family is how one should be enjoying live and family.God blessed your spirit and soul.

Man I do love these videos, Jax. I work overnights and these videos really get me through.

Mushroom soil is the best, so if your making a home garden. Get i pick up load an mix it in. . Put some strawberries plants in. Be the best strawberry you will ever eat.

I run the northeast mostly and the back roads more that the highways. I absolutely support the local business. The only time I stop at a big chain is only absolutely necessary. I completely agree that we need to do more before they are gone. What I love the most is the people.

Load and Haul western legal where you can!! Keep it between you and your truck! Great video as usual. I work in oilfield we have roadside chefs offering up some great food from chicken, to enchiladas, BBQ.

You ain’t lying brother, it’s pretty sad out here in the east where I run the new breed mentality is F everyone I do things the way I want. They cut you off stop on the shoulder and take a 30 or the fuel island. With no respect or regard for anyone else

Jax I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your channel from Ghost town living to Heavy D and then all of your good natured humor. You are a diamond in the rough! Can’t wait for the next episode! Thanks for showing me stuff behind the scenes, I learn so much. And I love the down to nature quality of the basic truck stop restaurants 🙏

Grab a great diver and hammer down!! I'm from Indiana and I agree lol our roads suck!!! Lol stay safe brother!

Thank you so much for letting me ride shotgun on the road with you. I truly appreciate and enjoy your videos.

Enjoy, every load is a new adventure

I agree that we all have to support the truck stop cafés. But with that being said, you must warn people to stay away from the T/A buffets. Especially drivers, it’ll do very bad things about an hour after consumption. 😂🤣

Thank you 🙏 for the amazing trips …. By the time I grow up 😁after watching and learning your videos ….I’ll be a Encyclopaedia with so much more Knowledge and insight to your life ,trucking and how it all works up there Sending you Safe travels wishes and much love ❤️

I believe phosphate is spread onto the alfalfa fields on the bench around Fairfield

Yes, talk to people! It's what we all used to do! It's what we should be doing! Engage them, tell them they are appreciated for what they do Or just a positive little hello or chit chat. We have lost so much of that due to "social media'. Or as my friend calls it: UN--social medial. Love the road trip stories and comments!

I’ve been driving for 35 years now and it’s so sad to see how unfriendly our industry has become.

I would load the wagon super heavy go around the scales and make the money pure and simple

Love the opening shot that was great

Hey 👋 The JJ Jax, Loved Your Trip Back Easterly Bound! Drive Safe Brother 🚚 Trucker! Right On Support Your Local Truck Stop 🍽 Diners! & Oh Yea Watch Out For The 🐻 Bear In The Air!! Your Trucker Brother Snoman☃️⛄️ From WA State Says So!!😉

Buddy Safe travels God bless you a safe trip

That was great! Was it lime you were trying to remember? I hauled lime in pneumatic tanker and did a lot of belly dumps. That stuff is attracted to moisture and will make you blind and choke. I miss truck stops before cell phones. Our social media was the restaurant, pay phone rooms and trucker lounge. Oh and be careful when you say “my log BOOKS are good” lol. If I got stopped back in the day I just hoped I handed the cop the right one 😁

Always good Jax.. much love from Mina Nevada "Where we're all here cuz we're not all there!"

Heck yeah brother. Love this channel. Stay safe Jacks 👍

It ain’t no fun unless you’re running a little outlaw!

My brother lives on the other side of Grand Island off of the I80 Henderson exit. He trucked for about 12 yrs hauling a lot of cattle. Lots of DOT and State Troopers there. Heard those stories about DOT and cops and how they terrorize the truckers He got a few of those fines hauling heavy. I actually worked at the Henderson truck stop for a couple of months before having to move back to Commifornia. Enjoyed going along on this trip with you. Love your humor! Be safe and God bless

Love your videos!! Just ordered my gear!!

Oh man, not too sure about that hair care biz. Great stuff, all of it really hits home. Load that wagon, God hates a coward. . . But my bride always says noooo, no tickets! Thanks

Wisconsin, my home state, used to have good roads...sorry we caused you unnecessary stress. I appreciate the education about trucking; doing us a service while serving us. Thank You!

I have been there and done that. I knew just about every truck stop between california an washington... a occasional trip to nevada. If you don't have a backhaul to home then you wander around and listen up on the cb for someone who knows hauls going somewhere. Licence plates included the bingo card for hauling in different states...been over forty years since I was on the highway... actually thirty eight now that I did the math. I loved the road, didn't mess around on the wife, kept the zipper up an eyes open for jump scales or other inspection places. 355 gears a thirteen speed with a airshift brownie that had a long over in it..lot of the time it was in direct but pulling up and out of different locations, steep roads, I found shallow under in the brownie, and the low side of the main. Ran a big cam two in those days... a few shims n a double o button in the fuel pump... had to watch the pyrometer... some nights just pushing hard, you could see the flames coming out of the stacks. Iron and lumber for most hauls but then occasionally a bunch of two by fours with plywood for side racks to make a haul of stone. They used it for decorative roofing. I would pick up hitchhikers and hope they didn't get stupid... got shot in wyoming from a kid with nightmares. Get so tired and pushing on... find yourself way ahead and not remember even driving it... ya... lots a fun if u get it

Dang it I love your videos man! They always put me in a positive mood! I’m from Ohio and you nailed it with the weight and road conditions comment lol. But a long time ago I loaded a load on my dry van. Scaled at the shipper, only 74k gross. That’s 6k below the standard 80k gross. I took the load to a burb of Chicago. I was ON THE STREET of my delivery when I get pulled over. They “escort” me to a scale so conveniently around the corner. I wasn’t scared. I was only 74k! Right?!? Well, I proved that cop wrong. I was truly 74k. BUT, that damn street, again the street I had to deliver on, had a 70k limit!!!! He gave me a lecture about it, told me it would be something like a 1400 dollar fine. I was extremely cordial with the officer and he let me go with just a warning. It’s one thing to know what each state requires for a gross weight, but EACH street per each municipality??? C’mon lol. People wonder why truckers are in a bad mood so much. Lol. Anyway, again, I love your videos brother!

Ten days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Yeeeeaaahhh... knock off all tha crust rust n dust!

Man Jax, I been on a binge watching spree tonight watching your videos. Knocking these longer ones out first. Super groovy content brother man.

Oh & P.S. Your Song Of The Day Bob Segar - Turn The Page!😛⛄️☃️

Jax's I'm sure you have but some of the best truck stop food I ever had was at the Iron Skillet. Now I see the one closest to me in Casa Grande Az is closing. Damn shame. Use to stop on my way to the VA in Tucson. No longer have to travel over there but I miss that food made the trip not as bad. O ya and I'm an old million plusser 11 western states for what its worth. Keep em all on the ground and God bless you and your beautiful family

Brother Jax!! As a heavy hauler and specialized operator........weather I have 11, 13, 16, or 20+......it's never enough or right in every state I travel through. I say heavy, make the money. Best part of being an owner op...your choice. We have a saying in Oversized....."calculated risk"....and we live by it. If all loads were 100% in every state we travel our freight would not move, and our fleets would be out of Business waiting on the states. We do the best we can. I say understand your lanes, and judge your risks vs rates. LOVE THE DRONE BROTHER!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!🇺🇲🤘🚛

Did I see I-70EB on the west side of the range? Love that area, super scenic.

Great video brother, I hate trucking in Chicago as well my wife is from here. I’m just a small town Florida boy. But i will give the devil it’s dues I have found some amazing food here in Chicago and trucker friendly spots let me know next time your in town it’ll be awesome to show ya if I’m in town ✌️ stay safe

Jax Motion Lotion would be a good name 😁

I love the beard care segment I actually have one myself below nipple level and it's white well mostly white.

I remember as a kid riding with my Dad when their still where truck stops that had seating for drivers and seating for the general public and the waitress would run you out of the drivers section. I also remember all the drivers talking and telling stories. They all connected and got along. Everyone knew each other by your face or by your name. I could not agree with you anymore on the subject of getting up and supporting these small truck stops. I love them and I have no problem spending money in them. Go in and at least buy a cup of coffee for the parking place you took up.

GREAT VIDEO BRO!!!! KEEP TRUCKING!!!!! NEED MORE B MODEL CAT......NEED MORE CAB OVER!!!!🤣🤘🇺🇲

The UK is standard all in at 44tons Loaded, Unit are 3 axle and trailers have 3 axles with super single tyres. Another grate video and your spot on truckers do not speak much now, too busy on phones and ipads to have a conversation.👍

When I was growin up my dad would alway tell us, when your traveling on the road to just see where the truckers are eating and you will find the best food. I have been driving since 1975. Now you can’t find the cafes at truck stops anymore. Love the vids Jax

If you ever run down 287 in Texas stop at Alvord truck stop and we’ll whip up a fine meal at the ranch 10 minutes away! Used to have a great truck stop cafe there and then Burger King took over. Anyway y’all are welcome here anytime friend!! #lakevalleyfarmandcontinualsorrie’

Always so interesting!

Load heavy and run around the scales. That scale just across from Dubuque is rarely open. I've never seen it open at night. I ran beef up that way for 10 yrs. You are right truck stop cafe's are the best. I remember going to meet my grandparents at the ones by the Air Force Base my dad was stationed at in Indiana.

Beaver Dam Wisconsin? Janesville, Johnstown? (Googled the logo on Jacket.) The only worry in Wisconsin you should have would be if a church lady saw you from her front porch you would been fed like a king, tucked in and followed up to neighbors bringing you breaky. 😉

I agree with you about the roads east of the Mississippi and the traffic is terrible I won't go out there unless the pay is crazy!

We don't have the area weight limits here in the UK, the roads are bad everywhere! 😂

Hi Jax! A nice long one today, TYVM! Those 'DOT's' are universal - they just have different names. I once heard them referred to in our Western State (yup, we just have one BIG one, LOL) - as "Mermaids".. I knew WHO he was referring to but I still didn't get it, and the reply was "They're the 'beyatches' with scales".. I thought you might get a laugh too... Just when you think you've heard 'em all, hey! Prayers for you & your beautiful family as always, that God keep you all safe and well, and bring down those rains you really need : ) 🙏🏻✝️ Much love from your friend in Australia ❤️ XX Janell 🇦🇺❤️ 🇺🇲

In the east it is the old bridges that are the bigger issue along with the shear volume of traffic

You’re not old Jax, your beautiful❤️Gramma K

Great Video. Shows people what it takes to bring all that "stuff" to their local stores. My Sister drove semi's for 28 years and did the long hauls across the country. She only quit when she was hauling for Los Alamos and got real sick and died.. I warned her not to haul for the bases.. Especially those with the underground bases that have labs.. What ever it was it attacked her muscles and she went downhill fast.. Anyhow.. Thanks for showing people what it takes and with all the crazy DOT stops and the hell it puts truckers through when the laws are so uneven state to state...

Load the wagon..... that's what I did. Love the channel Jax.

Star Wars reference. Solid trucker. Cattle Hauler (just not today). All around good dude. Great channel.

Love learning all about the hauls and what they are used for, thank you.

Oh Jax you crack me up, DOT are a nightmare at customs here on. Canada/ US border they can be brutal. I live less than 10 minutes from the border so see these guys torture truckers all the time. Stay safe out there we love ya 😀👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

When my grandpa died there was 6 or so celebrations for him at all the truck stop cafes that he went to for 40+years he ran the same route. I then got to go on the road with my husband last year and the food that we had access to was absolutely horrible.

U would trip them out if you started bidding in the middle of that 🤣🤣🤣

Great job Jax looks like another day at the office. Interesting about all the stuff they use for feed or fertilizer. Always be safe in your travels and Take Care

Your almost to my state. Sorry the load has to be light in Indiana. We always drove at night when we went by Chicago too. Very informative video. Love it! Thanks

Phosphate is also used in chicken feed it makes the egg shell harder. Load the wagon don't worry about the weight just go around the scale

They have great pie at that diner! Always stopped there when I could! DOT stands for Demons Out for Truckers... Third edit... Before I was medically retired from driving, I am pretty sure i have been to or through every outback, small town, construction site, big farm or major steel plant in the US. I drove flat back since '85. Retired in 2018. I do miss it but I don't miss all the yearly regulations.

Twenty five years of trucking and I've never dealt with a fire. Last Friday my truck caught fire and burned to the ground. I grabbed my phone and wallet and lost everything else. One lesson learned, when escaping from fire, grab the keys and fobs to your pickup. Having them replaced is expensive. I don't know why but I completely forgot about them laying there on the console.

You are awesome! Keep on truckin!

Load fish meal once stays with the trailer for a week even after washing.

Every time we would stop at Midway Dinner in Pa.(78) for breakfast,when we got done and came out a big old pig truck was sitting there.😅😅

Oh my God you're right I should probably go now

Cool trip there

I like watching you’r videos I think you are funny as hell love watching you drive and use your baby power on your hair

I really like that video man that was great

Here in ok we have dot in trucks and we have chargers with state of Oklahoma on the sides and they man the weigh stations and hide on the go around routes.

People talk about Americana doesn’t get any better than that one of my first jobs was at northeast truck stop pumping fuel and washing windshields some of the best people and some of the creepiest people but it was a life lessons

cool runnin's jax

What’s with DOT setting up inspection areas on random off/on ramps-when there’s an open weight station only 10 miles away?! Weird. Anyway… Thanks Jax for the enlightening video. SUPPORT YOUR CAFES. That’s the takeaway.

I had no idea that people still remember ducktails really shows your age my age to

Great video, Jax! Love it! Such a broad spectrum of information and fun to the extent that I think you need one more "Wild" in your name! How about a video of you playing the Cody Francis song at the end? My son is trying to find tabs for some of his stuff.....

Hey bud, love your trucking videos. There are plenty of freight haulers with videos. But you represent us rural livestock and hopper pullers. Most that do try to portray us been ducking on toothpicks to long and make us look bad. Keep it up

My face gets so dry under my beard brother. I haven't shaved since I was 19; and only into my 30s has it gotten bothersome and your so right the bear conditioners dont do diddly! 🤘 Always stop in the Choke& Puke's locally and . My father made sure we understood and respected the importance of The Trucking Industry growing up. He was a semi-pro "suicide jockey" of sorts 😉. 🤘💪

Tillamook Cheese is from Tillamook, Oregon ; )
