The point being ,there are some VERY skilled driver's out there who work in the woods . -
Log trucks laying over all the time here. Never in the woods though, always on the hiway. 60 - 75 around 45mph curves. There are some good log truck drivers, most here are not. -
Mabey it takes an icey mountain road to bring out the best in a driver ...............I've got to admit .......you got me there. I did'nt realize there was anything left to cut there . lol
Hey there Pete , I'm sorry I did'nt include this with my first post but , should what anybody in Arkansas does be held up as a shining example of ........well anything , mabey I'm watching to much History Channel . -
Years before I used to work at a steel shop and we would have to make replacement parts for chip vans and all the other abused trucks and trailers out running around, and those chip vans took a heavy beating. Paying them to fix their broken trailer sounds like a good way to get your broken trailer fixed on someone else's dime.

not alot of icy mountain roads in south east TX. Both times were from going around corners too fast on these tiny little farm to market roads at 70 mph and he hit the shoulder.
Yes those trailer are beat to death. I've only sen one nice one running around and it's behind a nice black pete and the trailer is painted to match. I don'tknow how he manages to keep that one looking nice. I would never get into paying to repair someone elses trailer -
haha its cool. Seems like the guys around here will let anyone drive their trucks. -
wait, that doesn't say much about me.. -
I've seen similar. Also an ex Werner or Wal Mart truck even.
Yes they look hilarious. I wonder how those "road gears" are working out in that soft dirt and mud off roading. -
Now these are off-road trucks! Michigan Specials... Monster horsepower, big tires, 23 ton axles, rear gears to pull the nuts off a moose... Put a headache rack on these and ya got yourself a log truck.
