[The72696061]

I am 75,I started hauling logs in 54, hauled thru the 80's, saw the great year's,I miss it every day,,it they don't know,you can't tell them,,

[danl2633]

How much weight do u usually haul on a load. We have to cut ours in 18-20 ft sections. pending on the kind of wood ofcourse, Most of what I haul is hardwood to be put in a chipper. Or Logs to be made into cross ties

[104bigTruck]

@danl2633 5 axle trucks from 75 to 80,000 lbs gross. 8 to 9 axle truck up to 105,500lb gross weight.

[OMBIC]

[n5ifi]

They let you away with that in the communist state of Washngton?

[104bigTruck]

@n5ifi Yah really. You said that right.

[Blue10AEMia]

That's a lot bigger timber than the little "sticks" they cut down here in Georgia.

[05VolvoVN]

[104bigTruck]

@05VolvoVN Pots rd south skagit hwy Washington state.

[grkstd1967]

have u gotten many tips

[104bigTruck]

@grkstd1967 lol not a one but I make about 200 a month from the ads.

[huntandfishtime]

Good Video!!!!! i really enjoyed it......I dont know it if was good enough to pay for. But it was good.

[jacktheripped]

What happens when you close down timber industries is the money leaves the country as you have to import everything made from wood. very stupid and shortsighted.

even your asswipe has to be imported but it seems like there's enough asswipes there already ;)

[LostInPhilly89]

That truck sounds fantastic! You must have the best job ever. Just you, nature, and a CAT powered Peterbilt.

[billalbion]

Exellent video,well shot. That truck will last a long time being driven steadily and sensibly. A ll the best from near Edinburgh Scotland.

[peterbuiltman1994]

nice vid.i no this may sound stuiped but do you own the company or are you related to the people that do

[104bigTruck]

@peterbuiltman1994 This co is my parents,my brother and I and hired employees.

[peterbuiltman1994]

@104bigTruck ok cool.btw love the trucks

[parcelmate]

God, i miss going bush in the logging trucks. No more logging in North Queensland, Australia. Greenies have killed off the tiimber industries. We had two White Road Boss's with 8V92TA GM. 13 speed box and a new Mack R-600 with 350 HP motor and two older Mack's with 285 HP motors and 12 speed box's. Now all that is just memories. September 1988 it all was shut down. All the sawmills are gone.

[104bigTruck]

@parcelmate ok seriously all of them are gone? Theneed for forests products will always be there so shutting an entire industry down is really stupid. Where is lumber brought in from,paper and many of the thousands of other uses from chemicals to medicine that are found from our God given resource called forests.People always have this little mind frame "Oh I know we have to have a forests industry .....but just not in my back yard or my home town".

[parcelmate]

@104bigTruck . Yer mate, their all gone here in North Queensland. The company that I used to work for had sawmills in every town from Townsville to Cairns and every town in between. THe mill that i worked in had two veneer mills, Sliced and rotary veneer and one large sawmill. When i started working in 1979 at the mill, we had over Three Hundred workers and in 1988 when the mill was closed we had about forty workers left. No more maple, cedar, oak, walnut, now all we have is shit pine.

[BOBBYJCAMACHO]

@parcelmate so sad to hear that my friend,so the trucks are not hauling wood anymore?,come on,I hope better times coming for you, let's pray.

[heatherroseisrflyer]

@parcelmate

Hey, we could all move to China and drive loggin' trucks there.

I hear their clear cuttin' to stoke the furnaces of Hell!

:D

[sokodad]

@parcelmate It's a renewable resource. Why shut it down?

[parcelmate]

@sokodad. In the early 80's the green movement was just starting in Australia and this was a major force for the Labour Government needed to get on side to win the next election. So they used the threat of closing down the all sawmills in North Queensland Australia and they did. Just like the presant Labour Governemt is making every company in Australia that is producing anything to pay a carbon tax of $23.00 a tonne for producing carbon waste. Everything will go up in price.

[sokodad]

@parcelmate That's sad. Politicians and tree huggers won't be happy until they've destroyed every economy.

[Jdigger4130]

thanks fer showing us all a dat in the woods

[tblac95]

sounds like a good runnin truck... im all to used to the static on the cb and gettin' pulled outa muddy ditches. I do like my truck though its an 06' Kenworth w900 with an 18spd and a 475hp c13 cat. I love that truck she'll go anywere I need her to. Were do you haul out of? I haul out of lower enchanted Maine usually.

[Scottde420]

was the crane making beeping noises at the end?

[104bigTruck]

@Scottde420 when the crane is in motion it has a movement alert alarm yes.

[hdsgoats8]

I'd take the 9300 over the Pete's but just my opinion

[daexpediter]

don't see a run-off lane, be hell meeting head-on R tryin ta pass

[104bigTruck]

@daexpediter We use mile markers and CB's to let other trucks know our where abouts.

[379peterbilt530]

man i love those peterbilts

[ImForwardlook]

Great footage, must take some nerves to come down those small mountain roads all loaded up. I guess the mountain logging stops pretty soon when snow starts to fly? Love those Peterbilts, all we have is plastic trucks here in Europe due to governments overruling free choice.

[baldymp3]

they def dont mess around getting the stuff off. great vid jeff.

[The72696061]

I really miss hauling logs,started 54'

[zachdaney13]

[tejastiger61]

Nothing NOthing purrs like a Cat ..... I've been ppurred to sleep by some V-16 Cats many a night ..

You CANNOT be purred to sleep by a GM ....no way . They sound as if their geauxing to Explode at any minute....

[OwnerOperator1984]

Great video as always... Nice truck that Wes Curtis got at 2:26 . How many tons does he haul ,with that composition?

[104bigTruck]

He is packing probably around 70,000lb net. Grossing 105,500 lbs

[KenworthPeterbilt]

wow that cat sounds great.. cool shot at 6:50

[104bigTruck]

thanks it's alot of work getting those shots having to stop and run ahead. Usually get my shots later in the day on my last loads when I have some time to spare. I need a camera crew. lol

[nokiaicon]

@104bigTruck You do a good job dude

[104bigTruck]

@nokiaicon Thanks ;)

[MrBACKWOODSPROPHET]

I am most impressed by how the driver can hold the camera in focus while steering the truck along those winding dirt roads!!Excellent concentration there!!I also learned a lot about these loggin' trucks than I had ever known before...especially at how easy they're unloaded!!Thanks for posting!!

[woody71130]

that last part was awesome. we got a lot a paper mills n login companies in Wi here but i aint seen a yard with a crane like that before

[Jesus45U]

The guy with the crane sure is efficient.

Amazing what sorta precision they can achieve with equipment of that size.

[104bigTruck]

The operator has a video camera down below so he can see as well .

[Jesus45U]

Oh, I knew about the camera, but even then, large equipment have limits to how precise it can be mechanically.

Which is really important when operating large equipment, because even the slightest accident can be real dangerous.

The precision becomes twice as impressive when you realise they have almost no feedback from the machine.

I used to drive a container forklift, and I often noticed the difference in the precision of an experienced driver and a novice. So I've tried it myself.

[Hotrodx199]

when you first put those dynaflex mufflers on was it reaally quiet?

[104bigTruck]

i didnt put them on I am the second owner but they have always had a pretty good bark but the last couple yrs it has gotten louder.

[treekiller77]

very cool, very few companys use that stlye of log truck around here(Pa) it would require logers and mills to have more equipment to unload us. LOL great video though. keep um comin id tip ya but im a log truck driver too LOL

[robodeer]

looks like oregon or washington to me. neat crane its probly tore off lots off strip chains ahha

[104bigTruck]

Bellingham Washington

[mike198748]

vaagen brothers in colville washington has the same crane in there yard. my neighbor was the head crane operator at vaagens. i even got to go up in it and run it, depth perception is a must LOL

[peterbiltexd]

i love that huge ass crane at the end id love that job

[123jozef]

Dude, youre like a little kid! Ha ha. Very Cool video. When I was a little kid I used to sit and listen to the loggers come down out of the mountains with the Jakes blaring. I could hear em comin for miles and miles. I miss that.

[dazzlindoe]

[104bigTruck]

Thats the new 100 million dollar mill Near Anacortes. SPI

[peteynum1]
