Comments: - - The first Friday I worked in a logging camp I rode home with my old loader operator. We passed an overturned truck of logs and I asked who it was. "Thats the young fella that told me he was gonna get 4 loads today instead of 3". Lesson learned.
The overturned Kenworth @7:55 appears to be east of my own "neck of the woods" in Washington State. You don't see nearly as many log trucks on the interstates here like when I was a young boy in the 80s - whether they were Weyerhaeuser fleet rigs, or independent loggers, which is rather sad.
I love logging and the concept and nature connection that comes with it. And the sad fact is that these Amazonia loggers are ruining forests and wildlife for a quick small buck that’s worth nothing more than fishing. Unrestricted mass logging is going to be the death of humanity.
This is why rock trucks have swivel joints, to save the cab in the event of a cargo spill, cab destruction or structural integrity damage can total out a truck in certain situations. I guess the idea is that these logging trucks aren’t supposed to spill? It does happen quite often though.
To compare " That`s a Knife "( meaning) , Is like comparing these machines to let`s get the SUVs . So you wanna go 4x4 on the trails do you ? The skidders may have lost the paint shine an have a few scratches but as long as the operators have the balls then they get paid . Yeah there`re some differences there .
