How are the loggers doing out there pls post.....

I don't know but I'm considering taking a job driving a log truck right now.

I know my uncle is still slow. down to five days a week for the first time in years

 

I'm not a logger. But, I know of 2 fair size operations that have closed the doors for good. Within the past 2 weeks.

Over 50 trucks, shut down.

It's hurting our guys here locally.

 

Its mixed here. Some are hurtin and some are running flat out still. Alot of the companies with halfway nice trucks are gone though. Mostly O/O's are the ones still running. Chips are doing half ok.

 

A buddy of mine hauled his last load of logs a couple of months ago. He still had work. But with fuel prices and everything it just wasn't worth doing. So he parked his truck and took a job driving a car hauler for a large used car dealership.

 

Hey 1989Pete: Things are really sucking up here in the northeast

 

Cant even call it steady.... Pulp mills are slow. The bigger mills arent taking much and the small mom and pop mills are closed or just running for a day or two here and there when they get an order.... Dont know if or when it is going to change...

 

I tell ya what, I parked my truck & sold it for payoff.. I was in it 3 years here... i got out about 3 years ago too... It was good until then.. i don't see how anyone is makin it now.... I now drive locally for an oilfield company... It sure is nice to park it & forget it..LOL
