A Case Where Wood Is Not Good

It's not a freak accident when you deliberately follow too closely.

Fortunately, the motorist was not killed, so the log truck driver won't be charged with multiple felonies and the carrier won't be ordered to pay upwards of forty million in damages.

 

2 words final destination

 

Nice goin', that guy better attend the local church of his choice this week,,I'm sure the trucker will get something, not an "official red rag" on the tail end.

 

That will teach the driver to put the phone down.

 

He had small logs I’d bet his tail lights are hard to see with the sag from the overhang.. I’m sure once they separate it they will be measuring things.. up here in Canada I see many with a blinking light bungeed to the logs at the back.. either way the suv was going too fast I suspect

 

YIKES!!

 

Maybe the red ### wont burn as hot as it might.

 

Different states have different laws as far as overhang and markings on logs.
In Texas they are exempt, or at least used to be and the logs could overhang 40 ft and be dragging the ground, here it is the normal 4 foot behind the lights, but I get a yearly permit for 10 ft, that has to be marked with one flag in the daylight hours, full light bar after dark.
I built a light bar that is mounted on the back of my trailer and held in place with 2 small spring loaded binders and pinned with the spikes that I drive in the logs to hang it. When not in use it is just an extra set of lights on my trailer, and I do not have to carry it back and forth.

 

Those logs show no mercy....better pay attention
