Hauling logs, Peterbilt 378 550 3406E CAT

This is a video I made partly in response to a request I received to show the whole process of hauling logs. Shows some of the logging equipment working, to me getting to the landing to get loaded, to getting unloaded at the mill and loading the trailer. Sorry if there is anything about it you don't like. Such is life.

Can't believe it passed cali smog laws smokin like that, though it looks awesome. I've never seen The first peice of machinery(forget the name) grab and cut 2 trees at the same time. Pretty cool.

Nice good with the fastforwarding. Great job on the camera veiws. This is my fav video by you.

It only smoked because I put a power harness on it that was supposed to give me more power, but instead only made it smoke a lot with absolutely no noticeable power increase at all. So I ended up taking it off. Normally this truck would not smoke at all no matter how hard I tried.

Hell at the begining of this video i saw hwy 70 canyon i said damn he's in my back yard!! then i spotted Quincy mill, ive been bringing a couple a day up there lately from Stirling city,man that truck sounds nice ,you sold it? I just dont recall seeing it in this area.

Ha ha yeah when you said you hauled logs in California I figured you might be somewhere close around here. I live just outside of Quincy, and both years I was using this truck, I was hauling out of Greagle into Quincy and Oroville, so you wouldn't have had a whole lot of opportunity to see me out on the road I guess. But yeah, I sold this truck and got a Peterbilt 387 highway truck and decided to go over the road. That about did me in.

So now I bought another logging truck, a 1990 Kenworth T-800, but have not been able to find any work for it yet this year. I actually hauled 2 loads for John Wheeler logging from Highway 32, one to Lincoln and one to Quincy, and then they said that was all they had for me. I couldn't believe it. This has been ridiculous. Normally I would be able to find work no problem for my truck, but now when I need it the most, I can't find anything! It's making me crazy.

One of the best videos I've seen on YouTube. I loved the fast-forwarding with sound still going. Great camera placement. Just an all-around quality video. Two thumbs up!
