It has a long tradition. Of course, times are changing and the industry is changing with it. When I was a youngster, there was a steady stream of logs being hauled out of the woods. It was rampant. Much more conscious now. I grew up just north of Bonners Ferry on the Canadian side. spent a lot of time in N. Idaho. Checked out your channel. Looks like you're doing some interesting stuff.

Thanks guys. Loved this video... took me back to my youth in the mid 70's, before articulating trailers.. my buddy's dad took us up what was then called Todd Mountain, to bring down a load in a bush model Hayes. Corners were incredible. Having lived, camped, and explored in the Koots for years, and knowing exactly where you were at all times, I got a bit homesick. Living in Southern Portugal now so this little peak was therapeutic. Pat's BMW t-shirt and the 'chicken strips' comment reveal you are both bikers. Have probably met both of you at some point when I worked at Southwest Motorrad in Kelowna years ago. Cheers to you both.

Good video. Big trucks & long logs. I remember logging trucks in the 1950's in and around Everett Washington. Also over the years in central and coastal Oregon. I also now watch long-hall trucking u-tube videos, both in the USA & Canada. Interesting comparing the number of axles, weights etc allowed on the trucks. And the restrictions & legal requirements. Also how they sometimes differ from one province to another as well as from one state to another.

Thanks Wesley. These trucks are GVW around 60,000kg as they need to be able to operate on public highways. It really is a mix between jurisdictions. When they don't have to use public highways, they can go much higher than that. Up to 180 tons GVW! Here's a vid with those trucks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGTGgp2rjL16orc

I went on a ride along with a company out of Sweet Home Oregon. I was applying for a job as a log truck driver back in 1979 just as a recession hit the logging industry. So I didn't get the job. Two items on my bucket list for truck driving. Drive a log truck up and down from the landing and a road train in Australia. I had started driving trucks a day or two after turning twenry one years old. My first job was driving from Minneapolis MN to the east coast of the US from Boston down to Baltimore and back to Minneapolis all in a weeks time. Did this route for nearly a year. Just retired a year ago from nearly 40 years as a concrete mixer driver here in the twin cities.

Thank you ! A few questions if I may . Why do they put the trailer on the back while driving empty ? Was the ferry crossing Kootney Lake or ? When the empty trailer is dropped back onto the ground and hooked up to the truck the driven only needs to give the load support upright bars a push and they seem to flip upright on their own . What makes them spring up like that and what are the upright bars called if you can remember . Thank you !!!

@CamGuerilla 11 ай бұрын
No worries. They put the trailer on the back so that it is easier to maneuver up the logging roads and at the landing where they load. . It also saves fuel and tires. Yes, it was kootenay lake. There are springs in the hinges of the uprights. I can't remember what the uprights are called.

I had a friend in New Zealand that showed me how to drive on a logging truck. I enjoyed every minute going out for a ride. It was cool watching the guys on the skid sites doing the trimming and loading. Getting up speed on the main roads and cruising. The long slow crawling out of some sites was tedious but it is all a lesson that you had to learn, Patience.

Slow on the roads down and out? Not always. There are some areas where the fully loaded down hill run is done at 70 km/h + on gravel roads. And yes, I'm talking about in BC Canada. Some areas the logging roads are wide enough they are a 4 lane highway, 2 in each direction and those roads are not slow crawls down the mountainside they are full bore haul butt to get the load moved.

Had a friend who worked for WCB back when it was WCB. Anyways long story short we were taking about different jobs and their risk. In BC the number one death rate per hundred hours (might have been per thousand?) were fallers number two were log truck drivers. I definitely preferred logging over highway driving. Pretty much everyone up there knows the rules and follows them. less government types around. Where I hauled out of Hazelton mainly it was rare I had to go over a government scale. Very little traffic on the roadways. My take home pay at the time was more than the highways guys grossed.

It's pretty common to drive on roads where there is active hauling. The truckers let each other know when they see cars on the road. The main thing is to stay to the right, especially when you don't have a clear line of sight ahead. Keep a safe speed that allows you to react when you encounter a truck. Some people choose to follow a logging truck when on a FSR, but that comes with tons of dust.

The next time you are lumber shopping for that next project, stop and read the stamp or tag and honor those that bust their tales for you. Rarely does an average person witness what goes on in world of logging, mining, construction, shipping, there are people out there making the 3 B's a reality.

The only thing that surprise me in that video is how you remove and put the trailer back on the truck, it always thought it was a hydraulic system that got the trailer down instead of the need of another vehicle
@CamGuerilla
@CamGuerilla Жыл бұрын
Yup, they save the complication of a hydraulic system because there is always a loader that can take the unload the trailer at the log loading site and a crane to load it back on at the sawmill.

they cut them to length at the mill for whatever they're milling. There are other types of trucks where they cut them in shorter lengths and the trucks have 2 or three separate racks instead of the one you see in this case.
