One thing I have noticed about TDK is yall always try your best to keep the road in good condition. I have delt with several logging companies who do absolutely nothing to take care of the road, and they end up leaving loads of wood on the ground due to not being able to get it out. Good Job Tim CT3 and TDK

I miss driving log trucks. Thats a good clean load of tree length and great looking equipment. I agree. Let the dozer do the work pulling the trucks to good ground. Them trucks work hard enough. Ground stays nice and trucks stay rollin to the mills.

Hauled off a lot of jobs. That every load was a job to get out of. Even one right off Bear Creek on pickwick lake. We had to be pulled up the hill. Then the 748 skidder would winch us back down it. Couple of trucks ripped out stuff. But they were also trying to get in by there self. No reason to kill a truck, when you have something doing the work for it.

I flinch about having to haul it more then 15 miles and often times we are hauling excess rock away when building roads.

Im a New Subscriber To Your Channel And my parents were in the trucking business for a very long time, Along with a lot of my other close family members had trucking businesses as well and cutting fuel cost was important but keeping the same power or increasing it was a part of it as well... I've already watched a bunch of your videos over the past 3 days or so and I don't know much about the logging industry but didn't realize the amount of diesel fuel alone that your stuff would have to probably use each day but I figure it's quite a bit
