What keeps a log from rolling off while you are wrapping up? The side poles? That looks like the most dangerous time to me; seen any pop up and roll down?
@AluminumSteel The loader operator visualizes what the load looks like for safety and i do an inspection and then usually tighten the middle wrapper first. Iike to hook all three binders to the chains and then tighten the middle to make it even. When I was about 20 I had some very small cedar logs roll off after I had thrown my center wrapper and was walking back to grap another wrapper. If I had been there I probably would have been hauling the old growth logs of heaven.
I think he did a fantastic job of chaining his load....quick with no time wasted, heck of a good arm to throw....but ONE IMPORTANT EXCEPTION: I was always taught to bind on the right (passenger) side. That way, the first time...and each time you stop to check and/or tighten the binders, if you're on the highway you're not running the risk of a passing vehicle smearing you against the side of your trailer. People doze all the time.
~Ocean Jockey...Maine to Florida....Flatbed truckin' is my game
@oceanjockey1000 Thanks Ocean! I am required to place the wrappers on the drivers side because the machine operator has to have a full visual of me as he unloading from the drivers side.
I'm going to post some videos of some logging here in Georgia not as extreme as you guys have it but very challenging..i believe the best job in the world!!.....Sometimes
This style of logging truck is very unique in the way that the weight of the logs sitting on the knife of the bunk biting in makes it pull the trailer and stay together. At the hitch there is a pipes that runs inside the reach (pole) called and compensator and as the truck turns this pipe sides in and out as you can see on some other vids of mine. Also the bunks on the truck and trailer turn as well.
Sorry I was typing to fast, There is one pipe that slides in and out. If I was going down the rd and someone pulled out in from of me and I hit the brakes hard enough it has been known to happen that a load could slide off the bunks or a driver pulling out from under the load on an adverse. this is why it's important to have plenty of log over the bunk so if it does slide you can have some play.
@104bigTruck What is even more remarkable is the fact that the bunks that hold the logs and the logs themselves, upwards of 70 tonnes in some cases, all sit on two pieces of round steel, one that sits on top of the other in a sort of "cup and saucer" set up. That's what they are called, the cup and saucer, there is one under the front bunk and one under the rear, that is all that that whole load is balanced on is 2 sq feet of surface and on an off-highway application the bunks are "live"
Its amazing how when a man is just wrappin his logs and gettin ready to ride how it can become a big pissin' match on a fuckin computer screen.Take your time and wrap your load,,,these motherfuckers talkin all that I'm in a hurry shit are usually the ones stoppin every round for a coffee and to flirt with some fat bitch at the truck stop.And for the hero that mentioned Joel Olson,I am a former Olson driver and the man has the baddest rides in the NW,don't be jealous,,,its a sign of weakness.....
lol I posted this on my last trip,plenty of time and now hurry so wtf people? lol I agree take your time pay attention and make sure it's secure. safety first!
safety first...wheres ur hard hat?wheres ur safety vest?why arent u wearing gloves...huh?...here in saskatchewan...where we haul 62,500kgz...if u were caught without a hard hat...you would be gone...safety first!
listen up douchenozzle i could do better in half the time as your lil bag draggin buddy. plus id pass you both on my way back to the landing for another load.
newbie? lol id like to see you do and he was just casuly doing it maybe he doesnt like to rush? maybe this is a demonstartion video by request who knows... and im a log driver in england i use a scania r500 non-sleeper cab with the log guard and trailer and i can do it uner 1 minute but i take 3-4 cuz i take my time and dont like to rush and hes not a newbie his whole familys been in logging i think and if so why shud sum idiot like you come and say summit bad.you have to write to say bad stuf..
it's sarcasm there bagdragger! no speed records being set by your wrappin a load for sure. just get the fuck outta my way time is money.unless your getting paid by the hour? then by all means take your time. big strapper. you must be a former joel olson super trucker! lmao....

that was a quick chain up! I haul oversize pre-cast concrete pieces for parking garages and at only 150 pounds it takes me a bit longer. Nice job!
