I’m a logger myself need any help I’ll help you out best I can

[@37903eral]

Hiring the right guy may cost you, but hiring the wrong person will break you. Best of luck sir.

[@BC-iz8gt]

💯💯💯

[@Jeremy-de2of]

Hire slow & fire fast

[@x...CrankyOldMan...x]

What does the hiring pool look like. if there are no good help, it gets very difficult.

[@Jeremy-de2of]

@@x...CrankyOldMan...x yea nobody wants to work anymore I work in asphalt n I’m sure u bust your butt every day to just to pay people on welfare they r counting on us lol

[@doonhamer252]

been there

[@bradleymadosh911]

Good to see a young man starting his own business and buying up machines to better his company. Good luck young man and be safe logging is one of the most Dangerous jobs to do

[@bokluge3855]

Keep this up please! It's great to see real people at work!

[@tommymann69]

I have been knowing Mrs Lori for years from the Facebook group

[@dubya2514]

Good to see a younger generation willing to work and have someone to pass knowledge down to, very rare these days, you'll do fine, just go slow and steady, it's always better than tearing up your equipment trying to go hard and fast to make a few extra dollars.

[@TwistersmusicRadio]

My favorite new channel on KZbin.

[@michaelmartineau1373]

You have a good thing going here Lad wishing you tons of luck. When it comes to logging Bobby Godson is the real deal hands down. To have his brain to pick is a sure fire win for you.

[@nashguy207]

Good to see Bobby. Hang in there you will have your good and bad days. I know been there done that.

[@FlyingCircusAct]

A valuable lesson learned by many and all who watched. Gibtty doo daaaa!

[@suzylarry1]

going at it young , You did the same ! All the knowledge on the retro fit , We can make it work ! Trouble always has a way to find you.

[@cwg2325]

Great to see this video. Wish my father was alive to see this as he would have loved it. He was an owner/operator in the late 70's then worked for Great Northern Paper in their woodlands division as an equipment operator. He finished his career teaching high schoolers how to drive class A vehicles. Like most, owner/operators he had those days. Everyone does. Wishing you good fortune on your endeavor. Keep up the great work.

[@tiffanydoss611]

As soon as I seen the name Bobby I knew it was Bobby Goodson of all terrain. Congratulations on the business. And the experience to be around an awesome company owner

[@martinfaubert7340]

Awesome to see new videos. Camera guy is doing a great job. With angles. Editing is also great. Keep up the awesome work boys

[@GrovelandJohn]

We all have days where things don't go right Justin. Don't let it get you down.

[@Kwobler]

There is a difference between having a bad day and a bad driver. Seen both sides trucking.1

[@johnmchardy4502]

Good to see bobby again and find out what he's been doing looks like he's still selling his equipment off slowly but surely

[@vincentnail2881]

If you like the driver, teach him more. Don't throw them away. If you don't like the driver, and he's unteachable, let him go.

[@glennbryant1292]

Maybe you can hire him

[@stevenmcgregor2219]

I'd agree with you however I don't know the whole story however I do know some guys Can't be taught

[@TermiteBenny]

That man is a terminal driver. He can only pull loads to a large parking lot and unhook. I guarantee he can never be taught. Some things can never be trained on a driver if they can’t figure it out on their own. He is a steering wheel holder nothing else.

[@jay2tymes258]

@@TermiteBenny Do you work out there with them?

[@TermiteBenny]

@@jay2tymes258 no sir, I’ve been around truck drivers for over 20 years and you can tell very quickly if a driver will ever be a really good driver or just a steering wheel holder.

[@lukedesselle2491]

Good to see Bobby on video again, Justin no matter how many break downs and screw ups you have on the job it won't be anything Bobby hasn't seen or been through, that man knows he done worked in his life. If possible hiring a man like Bobby can make the difference in you succeeding or not, I've been farming for myself for 32 years now the advantages of having a person like Bobby on the job is not only can he keep the job moving he can see how what you doing today will impact the job a couple weeks or more down the road!! Also I love that you kept Bobby's theme song!! Joe South The Games people play In life you will understand and appreciate that song more and more!! Good luck bud hope it all works out!!

[@quintinjamerson9944]

I've worked hard like these fellas but I've damn near gotten rid of all of my old equipment..from skid steers to container movers ...old military trucks and all

[@davidsmathers5621]

Man this was great you got the right person to get your stuff from Bobby Goodson what a great guy

[@markpivik6211]

Great video Justin, don't get discouraged this happens to us all, you are not alone my friend. Keep pushing forward and better days are ahead.. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.

[@michaelhostetler5190]

Speaking from experience many years in logging when things go wrong and they will keep your cool if you lose it your guy's will follow....

[@bmoore3199]

26 year career Sketch Face Veneer Operations myself with Thomasville Furniture Industries 1979-2005. We bought millions of feet of imported exotic veneer from Manfred Bolke. On occasion He would fly us to and from the Mill in Ohio on his Learjet. Good to see someone from Bolke Veneer. Had the pleasure of meeting Nascar owner Rick Hendrick at the mill on one occasion. He was there selecting veneer for a new yacht he was having built. Looking forward to following you on this journey logging. Be safe 👍👍

[@lylekoss3776]

Bobby it is really great to see you again , we used to watch your show all the time ! We really miss it ! Justin good luck in your business..

[@MrGsxr10001]

I drove truck for 19 years , the last job I had was hauling logs. I"ve seen it all. I would let that guy go. Dont cuss him out, just telling he needs to go haul boxes till he gets better at trucking. Keep at it man. Your young and strong you will make good in life if you hire the right hands and treat them better than family. They will make or break you. Good luck.

[@jimmiesolomon9453]

Wrong advice you don’t let someone go because his made a mistake you teach and train him I worked for telephone company and drove TT trucks you got 4 weeks of training I worked there for 38 years

[@KA-om9oz]

Great advice, you can tell shitty employees giving advice…. Keep them, hold their hand, etc. Facts are if you paying the bills, you can’t afford stupid people. Don’t pay for their education on your equipment.

[@daviddickey4331]

I'm glad to see that the younger generation is keeping the logging industry a live. I'm a Ol school logger from N.C. I'm Bobby's age and he is a good friend of mine but he had a larger company than i. I'm looking forward to watch your videos and i'm a Subsctiber of your Channel. (RET) From the trucking of Logging and i now live in Henrico. Va. Keep a straight chin running your business. '' BONECRUSHER "" class of 82. Stay Safe and blessed young man.

Justin hang in there. Be safe. Enjoyed watching the show. Keep em coming.

[@JohnSmith-ff2qn]

Experience is key in Driving especially Driving Big Rig and you learn from your mistakes but if someone just keeps screwing up over and over and not learning from there mistakes then you have no choice but to let them go because their mistakes are going to end up costing the company, but it looked like Barney phiff didn't show up to issue any citations for Blocking the Road way, I like this kind of content and will be looking forward to future video's.

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Great video, hope to see a new one soon! Thanks much.

[@bobbrooks266]

Great video. With Bobby s help I'm sure this young man will go far. Admire how he kept his temper ( well on camera anyway)😂 . Looking forward to seeing more. Regards to the family and Bobby from across the pond 🇬🇧

Love the channel, continued success. I’ve met Bobby Goodson, good man there glad you were able to acquire some of his equipment and put it to use

[@nathanarcher6764]

9:16 I LOL'd. hate that happened, but i'm glad he wasn't going fast and your new trailer didn't end up in the ditch, and glad he didn't get hurt. Things happen when you got something on your mind, happens to all of us. I wish you and your guys all well. God Bless You all!

[@nathanarcher6764]

Fantastic video.

[@rogerlilly9629]

As soon as I saw that driver even before the ditch I knew screwed good luck. The air hose and the hat told me all I needed to know.

[@dwayneowen6262]

I was a huge fan of Swamp Loggers, I missed meeting Bobby, something I stil hope to do, at a mill in Elizabethtown I used to haul out of some by 10 minutes. I'm subscribed to y'all's channel now too, will be following closely. Good luck.

[@FromLandVegemiteSamich]

I think when hiring people you need to test them on the spot for hooking up a trailer, unhooking, reversing, take them for a test drive and see what they do before hiring, where the truck ended up in the ditch was just plain lazy and stupid on the drivers behalf, I used to watch mr bobby alot on tv and now on youtube, he seems like a good honest man and won’t do you wrong, best of luck young fella

[@gregsmith983]

Good video Justin!! Hope all works out for you.

[@yawotton]

I need a few of those trailers.. especially with the headboards

[@larrydockery7201]

i sure miss this show god bless you bobby and the family

[@dannygoss2649]

Always remember there's a big difference between a truck drive and a steering wheel holder

[@jeffmccoy6793]

There is a difference in truck drivers and log truck drivers, log truck drivers a special bred

[@bradleymadosh911]

We would back up to trees with our cable skidders and pull the logging trucks up hills or out of binds they where in. We even pushed them from behind.

[@OurStL]

If you had some cables you could've hook to the front left fork and two to the rear forks and pulled that sucker out.

[@leelahd4428]

As soon as I saw the sideways backwards cap, I knew it was trouble..

[@garylovattlovatt193]
