Log Truck Drivers part 1 of 2 - www.TruckingFantastic.com

[tur1taka]

my dad drove on of these kenworfhs before

[bigoldtreefeller]

those truckers have some balls. you wouldnt catch me driven one of those down that hill

[dirtyboy304]

i'ma logger and those are huge loads

[periesicsd]

@o6one9o yeah, dil, you watched it, and just gave it that final push! you are responsible for that! how could you,do!

[nokiaicon]

I wonder what one load of those logs pay the truck and driver

[TheBjack1]

@offamychain don't hold back on those tree hugging F'ers!

[AC160]

Is it permissible for these "log trucks" to run on regular roads?

[KeepTurningLeft]

@AC160 not road legal - they are three times the size of ordinary trucks

[AC160]

@KeepTurningLeft Thanks for the info.

[Idaho278]

That is some old equiptment, my dad did something like that, in just a normal Kenworth 800 1976 special edition, beautiful truck.

[xXBroBuddyXx]

thats how real men log

[prescomp]

big deal .. just a bunch of jackasses depleting ( killing Off) resources that took years and years to grow. I bet they never plant anything!

[offamychain]

@prescomp Idiot .... the LARGE majority of the modern logging industry doesn't deal with old growth timber, but rather trees planted specifically to be harvested later, usually on land completely unsuited for anything but growing trees. The "cut out & get out"method died out .... oh .... 6 or 7 decades ago. Why don't you try to join the rest of us in the 21st century. And until you can figure out how to do that, don't you DARE use any toilet paper. Wipe your ass with plastic instead.

[jasanovic]

@prescomp Dumbass, It's people like you that are killing primary industry. We cut down trees, we waste water on crops, we kill animals, we feed, dress and shelter you. If you don't like it, move out of your parents house and live in a cave somewhere. But don't light a fire, you'll fuck the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. Leave your laptop with your parents as well, there is no power where you're going. By the way - no clothes.

[HOWNDOG66]

@prescomp

What's a "resource" if you don't use it?

I can't stand enviro geeks that have no idea where the stuff they use to slag real working people comes from. A good portion of you lazy whiners are supported by the taxes these guys pay. You live off their sweat, blood and life, like parasites.

[mosesanderson]

my dads truck has a 620 cummins engine and it only carries upto 20-40 tonnes

of coca cola or general freight

[24preacherboy]

Notice there are no black guys driving these trucks.

In Canada, they are banned from heavy machinery because they are easily distracted by pictures of naked white women.

[studeystudebaker50]

I would like to see the hitch,is it a heavy pendal----

[7100vlad]

i"m romanian boy and i love the EUROPEAN TRUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!

[JMLev88432]

Mais laissez donc ces arbres tranquille !

[WhosTheBesTx]

0:01

[meinerzweier]

Leave the trees where they are, fools.

[JRtransport379]

@meinerzweier why, so they can fall over and rot and become a breeding ground for bugs and diseases, or so that you can buy all of your paper and wood from 3rd world countrys that use slave labour?

commie Fool

[meinerzweier]

@JRtransport379: Poor boy.

[jguillenster]

dejen de talar arboles asesinos de mierda!!!!

[jaynedenham]

Heavy trucking, hope these forests are plantation! Are they Mack's?

[msg2urudy]

holy heck that load was scary, are these off road? we call these Forwarders I think. cool video,well done.

[turtleryan]

@msg2urudy its logging roads, and no there not forwarders, a forwarder is like an 8 wheel skidder that has its own bed to haul logs

[moonisveri]

holy shit thats big load

[HaulingTV]

cool

[EJW1]

@o6one9o You watched it didnt you? ;)

[thehascott18]

only like 550 hp id expect more :L

[sixspeedking]

@thehascott18 only 550hp but something like 1200lbs/ft torque. Thats how they are meant to be to pull all the heavy weight.

[o56kid]

@sixspeedking

I think there is alllllittle more than 1200 fps at the wheels of one of those trucks LOLOL.

[Malawianborn2fly]

Look at all those trees BEEN cut down...I hope u plant new ones everyday!!!!!

[criticalcaleb]

those trucks look way overloaded. im not a logger but... it just looks like it. You wouldn't see anything like that in Canada

[KeepTurningLeft]

@criticalcaleb it is Canada - well on the Island anyway

[robertgift]

Nice.

How do they get the empty trailer back on the truck?

[KeepTurningLeft]

@robertgift the loader lifts them up

take a look at some of the other films on the dylanwinter1 site

[robertgift]

@KeepTurningLeft I was wondering if there were a winch behind the cab which could pull the trailer onto the truck.

But loaders at both ends of the trip makes more sense.

[sonofalogger97]

@robertgift They pick it it by the banjo stap on the trailer with a log loader then back the truck under the trailer then they put the trailer on the truck.

[1FatBastard4u]

I've driven different trucks over the years, including oilfield, but these things make me really nervous. You guys hauling logs are incredibly good. Amazingly huge loads, down switchbacks, what a skill. You don't know fear until you have a big truck get away on you down switchbacks. Been there.

[LSZocker2009]

Very very overload!

[captindookie]

uggly ass trucks my dad was a log truck driver for 40+ years and he drove a bad ass 77 pete that thing could out pull out hall anything around in california but omg u guys are dumb for hulling that much on such a small tuck wow

[zavizionov]

Ok, looks good. But, have you ever seen big trucks in RUSSIA ?

Look at watch?v=u6lBig8gdfM

[pco86473]

In Hong Kong, the drivers would be summoned for "Overloading" for sure .

Lifes is percious , beware of own safety hardworking guys =)

[JealousyAWAKENED]

where was this filmed?

[smehta63]

AMAZING AMAZING PASSION OF THESE TRUCKERS. HATS OFF AND SALUTE TO ALL OF THEM. ITS ADVENTOUROUS BUT RISKY AND HARSH AND DEEP THINKING TECHNICALLY. TOO GUD TO WATCH AND LEARN.

TKS.

SANDEEP

[CEFD11777]

legalize hemp

[4inches4u]

@CEFD11777 legalize ocs

[CEFD11777]

legalize hemp

[h1n1mexicankiller117]

theirs n such thing as over loading an HDX

[raidon33]

now there logging trucks,beastly hunks of metal

[thapajoshep]

Your video is looking amazing with lots of quality info

thanks

[m8s4lif]

Thats a job that takes mature workers. Goof offs, and careless workers need not apply. Those men are Pros.

[yourass117]

Who usually gets paid more: the off-road logging truck drivers, or the on road ones?

[billeybop]

I rode the balony pony but never a log truck!

[odmcarp]

there are way way too many logs on that truck at the end of this video...have you ever heard of "over load"

how many trucks do you guys tip over in a week?

[black7xit]

omg haha like going back to the stoneage wtf

[Busdude97]

Those trucks are nice trucks too. I like the cat engines on them.

[Busdude97]

@ 1:27 if you listen closely the crane has a detroit diesel 6v92.

[JerronHonda]

How much you get for this Job per day?

[Na8Dogg]

Good god..the load at 2:54.,..is unreal..that's soo top heavy...crazy.!..

[Meteorotaki]

@Na8Dogg

yeah, the gravity center of the load is so high that's scary

[UglyJoe2007]

there is a really old version of these sitting in Revelstoke British Columbia along the hwy last i saw it it had 3 massive cedar log's on the bunks. my cousin chris still drives these newer looking trucks on Vancouver island though there are cool to see in the yard near Courtnay B.C. though

[1981GYPO]

Who the hell uses line machines anymore?

[EssenceCA]

yeah thats weird.

[420witchdoctor]

Real men...

[eyevangogh]

kinda looked like tha Courtenay Yard there for a bit......ya?

[nathanaelnainggolan]

Massive trucks and massive load..cool...is there Western Star big logging trucks there?

[jeepin99999]

These are absolutely massive trucks when you actually see them. They are strictly off road non highway trucks. They are basically 2 lanes wide. You can see how the cab looks offset to the driver-side well that's a normal sized truck cab used on these massive things. They haul logs well into the night so you have to beware when on the logging roads of Vancouver Island.

[tobbol]

1845!!

[hallilom]

aga işiniz zor yaa :D

[backwoodsgps]

the elegance of gluttony?

thanks for showing

this vid!!!

[truckersresource]

wonderful log trucks...

[TheVcan]

É assim que vai se acabando as florestas do mundo inteiro e depois vem essas ong's estrangeiras aqui no Brasil dizer o que tem e o que não tem que se fazer com nossas florestas.

[Shqiptart123]

hate to drive next to it

[dozer3man]

overloaded

[mog5858]

not when you make and own the roads lol

[Ghostrider2999]

I would love to have one of these even as a road truck,lol,

[auralite30]

I hjave actually had the pleasure of working on these we used to run them on vancouver island at Hayes logging took the old v 12 detroits out of them and put cat c-15's in them they are a joy to drive

[9876rt]

1945?

[Lexey1974]

It's not beautiful truck like Pete...it's shit

[Bushemi1]

there are still a few running out here on vancouver island!

[HardRokMiner]

@Bushemi1 - Where are you on Vancouver Island? I live in Campbell River

[Bushemi1]

@HardRokMiner - Port Alberni

[Bushemi1]

@HardRokMiner - Port Alberni

[Tominator907]

Fuck this is such an old video.....there is no trucks here that look anything like those things anymore

[henryfan88]

ive actually seen a few up in canada,montana and such places like those,there arent many left but yhere are still a good bunch around.

[clubxtra]

Actualy, I just saw one a couple weeks ago on a logging road heading to Winter Harbour Vancouver Island.

[lucasm8303]

fucken massive loads....

[stoufferloaf1]

that is a awsome video and i want to be a logger to

[snakeman32212]

@stoufferloaf1 r U 5

[mustangguy6501]

thats a hell ofa load

[mariusivan48098]

that are really big loads..

[abiavillovieco]

sin arboles nos iremos a dar un paseo por el desierto que es mas bonito

[andresruiloba]

pero no os entra en la cabeza que el problema no es tirarlos, sino el no plantarlos.

[puerco7777]

Pobres arbolitos!!

[andresruiloba]

y quien no gasta nada que no sea derivado de la madera?

[Katmandoo57]

dammm

[perabrown]

talk about over loading there trucks, the hays pacific were made to handel it, the certainly earn there money there, certainly not public roads

[SuperMuise]

i remember being at my grandfathers house in anglemont bc, seeing these things come flying down that steep twisty hill....

you truly have to have the nards for this job!

[bestamerica]

nice work,,,

but risk job

[crazyman7000]

was that crane at 1:21 a Detroit Diesel powered crane

[Grbgman]

Its called a grapple yarder. And probly not.

[douger0500]

Has to be. uNLESS THey make a different 2 cycle diesel.

[straightpipesrule]

darn, i wanted to see him try to throw those wrappers

[deuchmarks]

my dad works at a mill .some times i get to go and fix stuff with him :)

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

Awesome drivers here...makes me wish I lived a bit further north so I could learn the secrets of towing down wood like that.

[jacktheripped]

i'd just about bet they weren't taking loads like these down those mountains in 1955 :)

[jacktheripped]

That truck is dangerously overloaded, not only that the load is unbalanced from side to side.

That kind of crap comes down from the owners looking for profitability.

Endangering your workers like this is stupid and counterproductive.

[Camstyn]

Hate to tell you experts, but they've been doing it this way successfully since before yo were born. If they could stack it higher they would.

[scrimshawshank]

these are not "experts" they are products of the liberal acedemia. it all started in preschool when they "graduated" with honors, was built up by the public system where they got praised for pissing in the bowl and coloring within the lines and culminated at the obama inaugurational ceremony.

[cullenequipment]

You's shure dun told us!

I bets you's gots one of dem deplomas things cuz you's are a smrt one?

[Conan568]

You can tell how heavy the load is, and you pick an appropriate gear before you hit the hill.

We also have water streams that spray the outside of the brake drums.

These trucks are a lot safer than the rigs driving by you every day on the highway.

It's a great job. I loved it.

[creedence18]

They know how to truck

[DoCSC20k4]

dont know where  i found this vide.. why im watching it.. and whny im commenting.. and FINISHING watching it.. but yea... they better drive slow or they'll flip it.. like noobs :p

[johnnyyoyo]

Awsome loads.

[VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

That's a huge load they're taking...

[CatLowboyDriver]

Thats what she said...

[jusportel]

The log loader probably has a 6V92T or a 6-71 inline. Almost all log loaders sound the same, no matter which Jimmy they have in them. Some of the trucks still run the 12V71N or T, but I think HAYES converted most of theirs to C15 CATS or N14 CUMMINS power.

[Righty736]

Do I hear a 2 stroke detroit in the video?

[Dave7060]

That's exactly what I was thinking, I think the log crane type thing has one, but I ain't sure

[blackmale78]

Do any of these guys lose loads or rigs? Because they look like they're overloaded.

[dylanwinter1]

in the DVD there is one bloke talking about rolling a truck on the switchback sections. Hayes lost a man in a truck accident in 2004 - so it is a dangerous job

[earthboundcruiser]

@dylanwinter1 even more dangerous if you are the one driving a pick-up truck on a road with one of these guys....scary!

[mike198748]

@blackmale78 these are not your trypical highway trucks, they are hauling up to capacity yes, like the big dump trucks you see at the mines, off road there really isnt any weight laws so who cares wood it up!

[popeto17]

@blackmale78 these trucks are made to carry those loads they are a fair amount bigger than your normal highway truck

[santerre1974]

@blackmale78 its called off roads

[chewwie101]

Tell you what, them cat engines can do a lot of amazing things

[fuscipes]

It's a shame you didn't mention the damage done to the forests in supplying the loads for these huge trucks.

[dylanwinter1]

you could take a look at some of the other items I have posted - in particular "Logging Canadians have their say"

[hellow3456]

holy shitit that by sireta by bamfield

[dylanwinter1]

correct - Sirita

[hellow3456]

omg i always go d biking there do u no were poett nook marina is if so thats my dads camp sight

[santerre1974]

@dylanwinter1 these guys are small timer now we load same in 5 mins and go a hell alot faster....

[Bennyboy46a]

Do you live in a wooden house by any chance?

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

@fuscipes actully when the companies are done they plant more trees and diesal is actully cleaner then gasoline instead of being absorbed by the atmosphere it just falls to the ground.

[gmpowerjustwheel]

Seen a lot of bir loads in oregon but damn that's the biggest I ever seen

[CreativExplorer101]

very cool video. Dylan, has it occur yet that a truck with high load like that had tipped over? It looks dangerously high, that it could easily tip over. what happen if you suddenly get a tire flat on one side ?

[dylanwinter1]

In other parts of the loggers DVD truckers talk about rolling one of the trucks

a chap died there a couple of years ago

the problem comes when they turn a switchback bend and do not line up just right - then one wheel drops into a ditch

and over it goes

it is not a job I would relish

[chevguy502]

it has duals only one tire will go flat if they both go flat u gotta chain up the axle it wont tip over

[CreativExplorer101]

Interesting replies. Thank you Dylan and Chevguy !

[Conquest97]

Reminds me of the off highway Weyerhauser rigs I saw growing up in Southern Oregon. Where was this filmed? Canada? I grew up with a log truck driver as a dad.

[dylanwinter1]

vancouver Island

[pearldrumsarecool]

Thi video is very cool I loike it very much I'm only 12 and it helps me learn about trucks and the industry very cool video!

[SUNDANCE5220]

nice job mate, bet those rocky roads eat up the rubber quickly

[bcnu62]

"Logging is my life. Logging is my life."

who's going to pay the bills?

who's going to pay the bills?

[misterbravo12]

hmm i thought they wuold use hydraulics to unfold the trailers..

[makosta]

Great vid!

[TINBENDER53]

earth first.... well log the other planets later

[dylanwinter1]

Good point try looking at this clip

Logging Canadians have their say - then you could try getting a copy of the DVD that adreses these and other issues

[p16loggers]

i am only 11 yrs old and i drove 1 from lake cowichan to nitinat bc in 2 hours by my self wif ma grandpa!!!!!!!!hahahahahahahah­ahahahaha

[rd309]

Nothing beats a Canadian PACIFIC truck!

[rise51]

Can I download the video "logging canadians have their say" from you? I have a presentation tomorrow and this would be a really good video to show my class. Thanks

[rise51]

how could you guys like this video. its disgusting. they are DESTROYING THE RAINFOREST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS HORRIBLE

[dylanwinter1]

I think people are admiring the skills of the truck drivers. Please take a look at "Logging Canadians have their say" on you tube - another clip from the DVD about the issues of deforestation. Contact me if you wish.

[BRTowe]

The rain forest? Damn global warming is gonna have to get sure enough drastic to have rain forests in Canada. Good video, they sure ain't afraid to load the wagon are they?

[Jthumper]

just visited the site, nice videos! where in BC are you? I live in the Oregon cascade MTN's myself and logging here as pretty much stopped- and roads are being removed, Id love to visit the area up there!

[Jthumper]

umm, looks like they dont have the 80,000lb weight limit! That truck easily has 200,000 pounds on it

[dylanwinter1]

Thanks ....You are right - think its 100 tonnes plus - if you want to see more trucking vids try customcutters dot org

[jschmid]

holy shit thats a big load, i'd be nervous going down hill. lol

[ohmygodthisisfucked]

Cool video!

[paradou]

Every small boy's dream! Nice clip.

[j943a]

Nothing beats off-road truckin, never seen this before either, gr88 post dylan .)

[ladaladaladalada]

the trucks we drove at school were 500 hp 1k lb torque, they were mostly four stroke detroit diesels
