Any Loggers out there?

I drive a lot of logging trucks before sunrise getting to steelhead fishing water. I have on occasion come around corners in forested, one lane dirt logging roads and encountered logging trucks headed the other direction. I realize driving these roads in darkness is not exactly the brightest adventure, though I am addicted to steelhead fishing and willing to take some chances.

The times I have come face to face with a logging truck, I always back up slowly and try to find a semi wide spot (without going off a cliff) to allow the right a way to the logger. I also put my head lights on parking mode as to not blind the logger.

My questions are these:

1. Would a CB be a wise purchase in order to communicate with loggers in these situations?

2. Is my etiquette correct in putting my parking lights on? Or should I be doing something else?

Obviously, i know that the logging truck has the right away (in more ways than one, just trying to figure out from an expert what exactly is the best thing to do.

Thanks,

I realize what I am doing is risky, just love to catch wild steelhead.

 

Thanks guys.
Yep, public roads but the only vehicles on them before sunrise are loggers and fisherman/hunters. I just returned from a week long steelhead fishing trip up on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon. The CB worked beautifully!!!
A sign driving in indicated the CB channel as 14. Loggers appreciated the fact that as soon as I hopped on the road, I was giving them the 1/2 mile markers as to my location. They did the same, and I pulled over to wide spots on the road and let them easily pass by when they were around a mile away. All in all, the CB and some common sense made the experience a lot more enjoyable for both myself and the loggers making their living. I highly recommend a CB and some common courtesy and common sense if you travel these types of roads.
