Huge Log Trucks Of Maine

Yes I recently uploaded a version of this to post 10 as a short but here it is as a video. Thanks for watching

This episode is great! It's like a movie edited down to just the fight scenes. Those are some impressive dust clouds. I live on rural gravel, and I've never seen them as thick and large as that.

[@richardsylvanus2717]

I live on a dirt road myself & make huge dust clouds. It's fun.

[@andersnetsman3509]

Really like that you have this channel for ”extra material” for us followers. Big thanks from Sweden! 🇸🇪

I lived in Ft. Kent about 20 years ago and I vividly remember the log trucks going up and down the hills of Northern Maine! I had a Ford Escort at the time and I always knew to let them pass me while going downhill and it was always fun overtaking them on the uphill sections again. I'm sure they regularly passed me doing about 90mph down those hills, but it was all about the momentum for them. What always made me laugh/cringe was when they'd completely disintegrate a moose on the downhill sections. That's about the only vehicle I'd ever wanna hit one in too, haha! I'm not sure how Rt. 11 is now, but back then, the tree line was right up to the road and not really cut back at all. So you'd always see them poking their heads out at ya at the last moment and nearly make you crap your pants and pray they weren't going to wander out in front of you in a car that barely weighed more than they did, lol... Good times! I'm gonna have to get back up that way and visit some family I haven't seen in over a decade. Now that I live out West in Utah, it's definitely a bit outta the way even when I head back to CT where I grew up. I've always loved Northern Maine though. As I get older, I definitely see the appeal of how simple things are up there. I'm sure it's changed quite a bit, but I don't think it'll ever be an area that becomes too overpopulated due to the harsh winters and black flies in the summer lmao.

Cough splutter air filter in car and pollen filters may need changing out and i could see the car changing colour with all of that dust. Lucky road is wide to move aside.

[@LenniePike]

The loggers, truckers, beavers and Post10 are the only ones hard at work out in the forests.

[@bigupyourself]

Do the truck drivers ever say thanks for pulling over?

[@post10Vlogs]

Sometimes

[@aaronsanborn4291]

Depends...but trucks especially loaded trucks have the right of way

[@towerofresonance4877]

​@@post10VlogsThat's surprising since they are hauling ass and really have to keep moving😅

[@LogiForce86]

Some of those truckers are really hoaling ass on those dirt roads, to the point of it being dangerous if you ask me.

[@garybrown9311]

Some of the best drivers in Maine and Quebec.

[@603goons9]

They literally own the road/land so they do what they want. Nature of the beast.

[@ricj7517]

I would love to hang out with you there's never a dull moment with Post 10

[@samwenske]

Quick question, have you been to Canada and saw their logging truck there? Big thanks from Ontario, Canada! 🇨🇦

[@bfoz]

Did you wave when he passed you?

[@post10Vlogs]

The big trucks rarely ever wave back but most of the loggers do

👍

[@chrisstott4100]

How many inches of dust on your vehicle after those dust storms,Post?:-)

[@post10Vlogs]

If I left the vehicle parked there all day I could come back and there'd be a good 10th of an inch. It finds its way in every little Nook and cranny,

[@jonathanjudd3168]

That truck going around the corner would have had trouble slowing down, going downhill they have to be careful riding the brakes.

[@stellamaggard3669]

❤❤❤

[@2212db]

Do you know what sort of weight those loggers carry? How much more do the carry than normal road carriers?

[@post10Vlogs]

Some of these trucks i think are up to 160,000 pounds. Most roads have a legal weight if 80,000. 100,000 some places. These trucks are going to the sawmill right outside the forest

[@2212db]

@@post10Vlogs wow, that's a heavy load. More than double the legal load on the roads in the UK and Europe

[@garybrown9311]

@@post10Vlogs Well over 200,000 pounds on a regular basis

[@peterselin2745]

163000 pounds (740000kg) is a normal legal logging truck in Sweden. It would be awsome to see some of these american truckers drive a Scania here in Sweden and hear them talk about the differences between the American and Swedish way of trucking.

[@brianteed7390]

​@@peterselin2745in Michigan trucks are allowed to gross 164k.

[@fhwolthuis]

Impressive, Post! BTW, the wheelbase is the distance between the axles, I think you meant the track, which is the distance between the left and right wheels 😉

[@ThrottleTherapy094]

Track width not wheelbase

[@johnpeschke7723]

it's because there's almost no logging to speak of on federal land in the western states and Alaska.

[@bobdole1570]

They really haul ass out there don’t they? Damn man
