Funny I was a logger for 11 years. NEVER had to do this. Apparently our loader was a top man. Who knew.. thanks Jay!

[@josephhodges9819]

Could it have been a short log that he did not know was to short to fit properly?

[@allenandres2535]

Okay so because you've done this as a profession why could he not just get a chainsaw and cut the log put a chain around what's remaining and pull that out. I understand you're losing a good chunk of money by losing the log but wouldn't that be better than unloading it or risking fucking up your trailer?

[@josephhodges9819]

@@allenandres2535 That trailer can take a lot more abuse than he can dish out. If he cuts out everything but the tip then there is the possibility of it rolling and another log becoming loose. You said it initially because he has done it as a profession which means he is a professional and knows what he is doing.

He spent the time to put the chain around ithe could've attached the other end to a truck or tractor or a tree and pulled it out. Maybe I'm not seeing something.

I’m assuming you guys never worked commercial work? The way you define your rhythm working together is literally how every other journeyman or helper I’ve worked with has been in my entire career otherwise they didn’t get kept as my partner. Granted I was a steamfitter so it’s a two-man trade by definition but every commercial project I’ve been on had more plumbers than steamfitters lol. I don’t need to “ask” my helper for things because within a month of working with me they know how to layout ahead of me and keep me flowing about 95% of the time. It truly is a way better work day when you got that rhythm going.

​​​@@zandatsu_cooks big battery or diesel electric with like a 35-50hp 1-1.5L generator would be great, you can use the fuel for long distance or electric for short distance, with the number of businesses where you're moving less than 50 miles in a day it also makes a lot of sense. And you could have enough power for a construction site, like a household is 9kw, with the generator you could have 40kw. If the inverters are configured for it, you could run 300V motors, and use them to output 240VAC with the max power of the truck so like 100kw or whatever. Imo using 25kw per wheel makes a lot of sense, you don't really need more power with a light duty truck, and 4wd is really useful for the places you might go to.

Remember that when you're terrified of passing huge trucks, with their loads possibly coming loose and crushing you or a tire exploding right next to you or them swerving and driving you into the woods, you should absolutely not pass them in a timely manner and instead for some reason slow down going past a big and slow truck!

Off topic a bit but it always impresses me. My grandfather started driving logging trucks up and down mountains in Australia when he was 12…

[@nickieroyse8585]

My dad started his first job in a logging camp at 10 in Stevenson Wa. My grandfather owned the team of horses and was lead. He said that chainsaws were just becoming a thing and they wouldn't allow them in camp because they were too sloppy. These were men who literally surfed logs down the log flume for fun though, lol.

[@IvanhoeWolfe-zn6fc]

​@@nickieroyse8585 Bad thing is. I really understand your grandfather. People think a chainsaw is quicker and easier. But from personal experience. A good bucksaw and someone that knows how to use it. Can cut logs just as fast. And requires less work However. You need to be in good shape also A chainsaw is much more forgiving when not in as good as shape . A buck saw needs less sharping. I've been around logging on the West Coast and in the . Midwest. Two different birds I did some low-level logging. In Mid west. Missouri. I also found it amusing in Missouri how they think they have mountain and logging trucks . Lol. Ain't no mountain in Missouri. Just hills And that ain't log . This is a log. When one tree fills at least one 40 foot trailer. Close to 60 foot per log. and one log is bigger then 4 foot across. I think some were close to 8 foot across. Now that's a tree. Lol. I Make fun of the trees in Missouri and the likes. But in Truth. Both are hard work. But, I've never seen logging roads in Missouri anywhere equal to those along the California /Oregon border. Only other roads I've seen like that were in Guatemala. And they were paved. Don't worry. You go over the side. Your done. You are not stopping for several hundred or even over a thousand feet. I remember as a kid hearing the story of the drivers. And.... Bob went over the edge. Most the time avoiding some fool on the road. Those logging roads are not made to stop on. Once you start going down the road. It's a none stop trip to the bottom. Either by road or by side . And by road it at least 30 minutes going way too fast for my comfort. By this I mean what they did in like 30 minutes in logging trucks would take me 2 hours in an empty pick up. They flew done them mountains. And everyone I knew. Knew not to be on a logging road when logging was being done. But ever so once in a while some flatlander looking for someplace to hunt deer. Or one looking to see nature with the family would drive up them. And sometimes it turned bad. The nutcase drivers would rather hurt / kill themselves then another. See in Thier minds. No matter. They are going over. I only knew one guy that survived a over the edge. And He was a paraplegic . Son in law to a friend of my grandpa. I knew more drivers then loggers there. Or I should say thier kids. Oh and losing your brakes. Yeah The road by my grandpa's place. Once had a big old barn across the road where the logging road ended at the asphalt road. Lol. One day going over to his place. The barn was matchsticks. And I as a dumb kid asked about it. Grandpa laughed. Logging truck lost his brakes when though the barn and into the river behind it. What worse is he just missed a school bus by seconds. Yes the driver made it. Few cuts and bruises. But one heck of a tow bill to get the truck out of the rivers. Plus I'm sure the prize of that big old barn. About 15 years later. I drove back to my Grandpa's. And they never did rebuild that barn. Lol. It still sat there big pile of match sticks in 93. Shoot that was 30 years ago.

He was using a log to tighten the tire chain. You can see the chain tighten right before he signals to the driver to stop. Tire chains are used in snow and mud to help tires gain traction! They need to be a certain tightness so they don't fall off.

[@marvinjgerald6007]

He was not trying to tighten an already taut enough chain. He’s removing an already dislodged log that missed one of the bottom trailer bunk rails. The video is cut short but the goal was to eventually totally dislodge the log from the trailer altogether.

[@Rubensgardens.Skogsmuseum]

He is using the log to check if the chain will stay on the tire. At the same time he is checking the tire pressure. The log also doubles as a secondary parking brake, in case it fails. All loggers do this. Than they load the last log on. ;)

[@bobbing4snapples]

No. You don't need a log to put on tire chains. Do you think he just Man-handled That log in there to tighten his chains instead of just grabbing the bar he's got in the box? 😂 I can't tell if you people are serious because it's hard to believe so many are that dumb.

[@rusty4150]

The chainsaw solution would work better on them

[@Sharpshooter99100]

I've been in the logging transportation industry for 40+ yrs and this man knows his salt

[@godofrock]

I just use the parking brake. I did carry a rock for a while but a log is kind of cumbersome.

[@danmoritz3319]

Every owner or manager dealing with machinery deals with issues like this. There is no playbook other than experience, common sense, and understanding basic physics, to resolve the inevitable problems. They are just things that need done and your feelings don't matter. Often, no one will help you and no one nearby could help you. The great majority of problems end up being not so bad if you practice safety and systematic thinking.

[@svetakot6284]

😂это точно....

[@jen2076]

When I don't gettit, I read the comments. That usually helps clear it up for me. Hello from Alabama USA. 🇺🇲✝️

[@PatrickKQ4HBD]

I would've pulled out my chainsaw and cut out the protruding part, same as you do when you first get loaded. Only needs one person and a tool you already carry.

[@wesman7837]

I don't know if the truck driver's carry chainsaws, but if you are hauling logs it would be a great idea!

[@jerrybigrig9475]

It appears he's removing his tire chains..since it's dry where this is being filmed...putting slack in the binder part to release tire chains.. How would a chain saw be beneficial in this application..??

[@banffdigger]

Not to many truckers pack a chainsaw in BC, most guys will check their load quick so the loader can help pull it out . Loading pulp is a crapshoot whether or not a short chunk will cause problems like this.

[@user-nq3lb5eu6h]

Yep get your chainsaw out and cut it off!!! If you're hauling logs you better have a saw , no matter what your hauling be prepared??? Carry spare everything!!!

[@larrywiniarski1746]

And if the remaining part gets loose cuz its not between the bunks anymore and falls off and kills someone on the highway...are you going to be sooooo proud of your solution then?

[@mulletover3832]

The trick is that you leave 98 percent of your viewers unsure of what they just saw.

[@patrickstockton2091]

Joe wants you to do that with electric trucks from now on...

[@rudgerhotsma]

Im no hater but what is the goal of this operation

[@jamesdukes597]

Hes removing a stuck log

[@Chevyholicsanonymous]

Hes removing a log that fell between the bunk without taking the whole load off from above. Or he wants his chains tighter 😂

[@brandoncarver8882]

we always just used a limb saw on the end of a sthil weed eater for trimming loads and fixing stuff like this. it was the drivers responsibility once the loader honked the horn and said you were good to go from texas

[@lablaine1981]

Questioner: name 1 logger's trick,8.3 billion people later: were "stumped"☑️

[@smarro71]

If you guys wonder what they're doing. They're trying to load that last log on the truck. I was a logger for 60 years

[@larryphelps6607]

Thirty seconds with my Husqvarna would solve it, but then i would miss the show.

[@dk3062]

What a nice guy. Debarking then logs before bringing them to the mill. I could think of more efficient ways to it though

[@Torben80]

Looks like you're in the same predicament at the end of the video as you were in the beginning. Sweet trick!

[@Audrastea]

it took me 5 tries to figure out what was going on here. The first 4 watches I was thinking "What's the trick... how to get a log stuck between your tires???" xD

[@illtryanything5264]

All I could think of was me manly bits being tugged by a chain

[@jacobm9263]

We can tell by your attitude, you love this job. And that's the #1 goal, if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

[@torin725]

I was a logger for 5 years and I've never had to do this... Never even seen it done!

[@Plarndude]

I didn’t understand what the truck was until I read the comments. Cool Trick.

[@timothinking9855]

So many old tricks involving logs, chains, and trucks.

[@TimeSurfer206]

Frankly, this looks more like a "Bold Logger" trick.

[@JamesYoung1234]

I’m gonna have to agree this just happened to me this week and we had to unload the truck in order to get to the bottom log that fell through the bunk load off. I kinda get what you’re trying to do, but the fact that you didn’t show the end process makes me wonder.

[@WPSCHAASBERG]

When the log splinters, the man will be impaled multiple times

[@AbsoluteHero42]

And thats how we got the final destination franchise 😅

[@FerdinandFake]

You can also strap the log to the rims on the drive axle to dig yourself through mud

[@glynluff2595]

This is sometimes used on tractor rear wheels but lashed to wade out of mud. Beware never lean out or the rotating log will kill you!!

[@rockspoon6528]

I don't think that loggers who stand that close to unsecured logs next to rotating tires survive long enough to become 'old'.

[@trustworthydan]

The best part was when the "trick" worked and the log came unjammed.

[@mics1694]

Logger trick to jam a log in your trailer. Brilliant!

[@kylesebring]

"My genius, sometimes it frightens me"

[@2wavyB]

great content! I liked the part where I knew what was going on because you explained this so well

[@jnhook8086]

Oh yes, here's the place where KZbin loggers of 10-25 years that have never seen needed to do this before

[@coreydemarce4652]

Old loggers didn't play tiddly winks. Those are chopsticks! They were cutting trees! All my childhood I watched the trees they hauled down get smaller and smaller.

[@ernieshepard9485]

I don't know what the're doing ,but that log isn't the problem because you can see the logs end between load and truck when the chain round log is at 12:00 on the tire it is chained to (middle one)

[@427Arbok]

As a non-logger, it took me a while to figure-out that the log had slipped the... log-holder thingy, and that this was a way of un-jamming it. However, I am proud to note that I did so without reading the comments.

[@bsc1463]

Perfect old tune for the video ! Luv it !

[@yeoldpepsi]

I felt a gravitational pull from the sheer mass of Plaid's balls

[@michaelvette7659]

OK, had to watch a couple times. What U believe he's doing is using the log to give the tire chain the final tug, to lock it in. I know one time, a buddy bought a brand new 1978 Trans-am. We took a couple girls up to the snow. Tire chains were loose. They started coming apart!? They destroyed the wheel wells on a his brand new ride!

[@dawall3732]

The driver needs more training. Whoever it is, they apparently can't tell the difference between inches and feet.

[@thomasfoster5200]

I think hes going back and forth until he starts a fire and keeps everyone warm

[@atkinsatkins153]

If you ever need to put on tire chains drive your inner tires up on a 2x6 board, now your outer tire is up off the ground. Life just got easier

[@maxuabo]

Such a neat trick to drive back and forth two feet 👍👍👍👍👍👍
