Broken carpenter looking to make a change

Worth reaching out to this company. Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about their Canadian operations.

Lol ya I’ve always had better luck going in person. This is the only site I’m on too. No Facebook or any of those things. I’ve been on here quite a few years though. Got a lot of help from these guys.

 

Dunno what the terrain is like out your way but IMO a log hauler is usually a higher skilled driver than the average OTR driver if you're hauling out of the mountains in adverse conditions on a regular basis.

 

Ya. Some you have to unhook and just dump the trailer. Most do the whole truck. If they ever catch you taking that ride you’ll be banned from the mill lol. Most mills I’ve been to you have to hold the button and dump yourself so you couldn’t stay in the truck anyway.

 

There’s a story that went around I have no idea if it’s true. A guy came into a chip mill right at closing time. They let him dump, but the ramp wouldn’t let back down once it was all the way up. They told him he would have to leave his truck there overnight since the maintenance had already left. The guy said that would be fine, except for the fact his son was up there in the truck.
