Logging Trucks loading ships

[Sims3fan2000]

why didn't they fill the whole trailer and load the ship that way?

@Sims3fan2000 They could've started unloading the first bay (on the trailer) before he could get the video in place so he waited for the second grab as shown.The ship loader may of only wanted 1 more grab to finish the hold.Or the trucks were backing up at the loading point and the loader was getting snowed under so he decided to let the truck go with 1 grab ( because of the cost of having wharfies sit around waiting)I did this for a couple of years traveling all around Oz driving the loader

Kool..I did sawmills for the first 10yrs of my workin life..Kool to see thru vids that we share a few common interests..T-Lines, dirtbikes and good lookin gurls to name a few..Tho youre a better driver,have more friends and ya younger,taller and prolly better lookin..lol..did that Atkinson have a Detriot??(dual a/cleaners)..cause it sounds just like my cummins, with compressor and horton fan clatterin.*****

The ATKINSON is the truck I learnt to drive in. Watch my vid "Old trucks still haul arse" and you can see how good the old girl runs. She has a 400 big-cam cummins rated at 450 with a 13speed o/d. Besides my autoshift aerodyne, this is probably my favorite truck of all time. It's an '85 model and I have been driving this truck on and off for 17years now. My friend who owns it is talking about putting a series 60 in it. Just won't be the same if he does.
