    Who here has the Gonnands for this kinda driving?

    Looks like log hauling but not sure how big the trailer is?

    Is it easier coming down this mountain or going up?

    I'd do it. I've been on skinny & steep little roads like that with a coal bucket...difference is it wasn't nearly as far down the hill if I screwed up but it was a lot slicker. You're only in trouble if you miss a gear or get off the road...

    I concur. I drove plenty of logging roads in a 4-wheeler in the PNW to go hiking, hunting, fishing, and climbing. Hats OFF to those that run these a few times a day hauling logs.

    By the way, going up means you are empty, with the trailer collapsed to be almost bobtail. The down part is far more challenging. Throw in some rain or snow....

    Another day in the woods. With a log trailer you can eliminate any cheating of the dolly wheels. In fact, by shortening up the reach, the dolly can actually track outside of the truck wheels.

    And your reference to Brazil reminds me of one of my favorite trucking movies, by the director of The French Connection.
