Thanks

@@Gearswapper it wasn’t his fault

@@benjaminvernon-i1n Vulcan scales

No he was in reverse trying to get out of the way of a pickup coming in and his mirrors were foggy

@@251boys Oh yeah it happens

He’s a better driver than me because ain’t no way I’m backing up especially loaded for a 4 wheeler. It’s easier to pull that 4wheeler out a ditch than a semi

We know all about a folding pole trailer he has had that trailer for 19 years and has always pulled one since he went in business in 96 and it’s hard to fire someone when they are the one who owns the stuff

@251boys I've been running folding pole trailers since 1984 when I got out of high school. Been running Macks and Nabors folding pole trailers since the get go You cant run fast enough to give me a 4 bunk, two of my trailers will couple up and bunk a 16 foot log, and I can extend the back stakes on all three of my folding pole trailers, We generally haul 1000 ton a week running three trucks, two 518 cat grapple skidders, a Barko 775 cutter and Barko 275 loader and delimber. I've got a 160 Barko mounted on a Mack where my drivers can load themselves so the delimber doesn't have to quit delimbing to load trucks. I've got my own sawmill so that makes it nice, we don't haul to big mills that make us wait to get unloaded. I understand what you are saying, but when it's wet and slick and there is a hill to climb coming out of the woods, it's mandatory that two skidders is on that truck when it leaves the loader, I've got a cat dozer and cat grader on the job pretty much all the time, our roads is a lot of red clay and you know that stuff is slick when it gets wet. Keep on posting those great videos and I'll keep watching. We are kinda private over here, Timber Harvesting magazine wanted to do a write up on me about 10 years ago and I declined. Maybe one day when I retire, I'll start making some videos, but it's highly doubtful as I don't think I'll ever retire. Thank you again for the great videos .

We was in Wagarville AL

When you move over 50 miles the money goes up

@@nicholasmayes4053 thank you

@@kevinstone3454 we almost done there

That boy is going to be in a log truck! He was raised to drive one and it’s in his blood

​@TimHollis3006 I was raised around logging and didn't want a life slightly above poverty. With wood prices up and down. Break downs and weather as well. Money flows through the pipeline, but doesn't stick really. To each is it own. The young man had mentioned in a video he was pursuing a degree in college.

I'm a captain of offshore boats and don't want my son in this industry. And he could make an excellent living doing that. Young people have countless opportunities and should explore them. Have this type of job as a backup plan

Not that far the road is just rough so u gotta take your time going in and out

That was after they pushed off the road with the bulldozer

It changes from load to load

Some logger up here in VA are paying 250 on minimum haul and dam near 4.50 to 5.00 a mile just gotta get with the right logger

@@devonteray2664 yea

Do you got CDL

@@bighero84permit I’m in the process of getting into a trucking school

@@adamhearts9195I like it but I don’t do it for a living yet so we’ll see and we start at different times depending on if wood is out and how far the woods is away from our house and when the mills open and we put in some long days and normally we work 5 days a week and are off the weekend but sometimes if it’s too wet in the woods or if the mills aren’t open u will be off during the week

@@251boys alright thanks for the heads up. be safe out there

That’s the thing u don’t have a cdl if somebody runs up under the load that’s gonna be a bad lawsuit

@@251boys you didn’t understand what I said…rehaul inside of the mill as in private property. You’re never getting on a public road, so you don’t need a CDL. If you’re out there on the yard down by the river coming out onto the highway then you do have to have one of course

@@TimHollis3006gotta look into it

Thank u

What mumbling?

Thanks

Thanks

Always gotta rain after you get it clean😅

@@garyuren3810 thanks

Sometimes but we mostly haul pulpwood

@@251boys ah just curious how big Canfor is down there right now, they’re moving everything south right now because we have a terrible leftist government. Might have to escape across the border if it keeps getting worse, maybe you fellas need some experienced mountain men illegals to haul them logs! ;)

@@251boys I’m in Prince George BC we have 4 huge pulp mills in town and now we’re down to 2 operational unfortunately.

They own just about every sawmill down here
