What's the Deal with these Log truck drivers?

They're not all like that. Eventually you will end up dead and in the process killing someone else. Besides hauling az doesn't really make any more money. No excuse for it.

 

awhile back ran across a want that paid $18 and change per hr for drivers at a logging company. home every night tho i dont think it was all about timber. Forset Humas and the like with benefits, passed it up. for what its worth I don't see to many logging trucks doing what you've mentioned.hmm

 

I doubt they'll end up dead, maybe a ticket or two.

Have you tried talking to them on CB? Like get inside their head man.

 

I don't know what they are smoking in the NW. Here in Arkansas we have log trucks all the time. They do not run too hard. They know better and mind. If they don't get it all down to the mill, there is more tomorrow.

Once in while though someone is fixing to get killed by log. But not too often.

 

i share forest roads with loggers (im tanker)...the local guys are usually good

when out of towners (short contracts) show up, gets interesting, they dont want to give up the center as much as they should when im loaded...yeah theyre top heavy, my tank load isnt eggsactly stable...we're by the hour so driver properly, theyre by the load, so yeah they take chances.

 

During the day it's not quite as bad but yep there is an issue developing with the log guys on I5. More of them are driving like the can haulers every day. Seems less of an issue on 97.
