Looking for log trucking companies

I applied here about oh 6 to 7 years ago but never heard back from them I moved on and looked at hay hauling and live stock.

John Wheeler Logging

they ran an ad on Craigslist. there were others too

 

Yea I've heard of Wheeler Logging

 

I dont recall pay

 

Some by the hr others by the load. Ive drove logger off and on for 15 years. Log trucks in the west are not the same as a plantation job like Arkansas. Most outfits will not hire a green driver off the hiway. You will kill yourself. Maybe start out driving a chip truck or a lumber truck first. Then after a few years of that check into loggers.

 

Buy hr depends on where u are and exp spi pays 17.85 to star with over time double time and benefits when I was doing it I was getting 18.50 plus a hr and getting over 120 plus hrs every 2 week's

 

If logging paid per mile there'd be a ####-ton of broke loggers. Pulling 40 tons of wood out of the bush takes time and it's extremely slow going sometimes (be prepared to chain up several times per day in winter).

Around here in BC/AB they'll typically run year round minus a couple weeks in spring when the mud hits (can't be productive when you've got to shut the skidder down to pull every truck off the landing in diff deep mud).

Owner ops usually get paid per ton/hr (eg $2.80×40 tons = $112/hr). Each trip will have a cycle time (eg 6 hrs per load) so if you were to haul 2 loads based on the examples I gave you'd gross about $1344 per day. Most drivers I know of are paid per hour.

 

I think chip truck drivers were getting $18.00 an hour don't recal if that was Washington state or California.

I don't remember the pay scale

 

there's your answe, go to Canada.
lots of wood there

 

I took a few and looked on Craigslist, didn't see a thing for that area right now. perhaps calling or contacting your preferred method might produce something.

are you an owner operator ?
