log hauling

Do you have the rack on the cab of that truck?

 

Yeah,...Three car head rack on truck......Pics are in my profile if yous want to see what "Walleye's Folly" looks like...lol..

 

I haul beaver biscuits from portable chipper in the woods does that count?? Around here paid by the ton ( I get hr rate) way better most hauls not too far, no scales very few dot usually 32+tonne(metric) payload 117000lbs gross

 

seems like all i see these days on log trucks is SMALL pines

 

Kinda miss hauling logs.Sure was fun most of the time.We cut and exported alot of hardwoods so I also did the port thing-not as much fun.Not much fun inside of a container in the dark with a canhook spinning logs and staying out of the way at the same time.I liked being outside and running all of the little pigpath roads around virginia.

 

logging is slowing down in MI as well.

All the trucks around here charge per ton, per mile...
And the only way to make money, is running heavy, around 180-200K... 25-27 cord on the deck.

 

Right now the rate is about 3.25 a mile for anything over 50 miles minum haul pays about 135.00 ...we used regular stick wagons some double bunk trailers
