Well I am officionally a brand new, half arsed log truck driver. I got my first load all the way out of the hills without crashing. lol
30 miles back in on a logging road, and the weather got warm enouth there was water on the ice on every hill the sun was hitting. 30 mile superslide, roller coaster combined, way better than any amusement park. lol I did not see any game, except for several grouse begging to get on the dinner table.
Congrats
Congratulations! Sounds like it won't be dull. Be careful out there.
Now tell us how many hours it took for your nerves to settle back down?
Definitely not a job for an amateur.
WE WON. WE BEAT THE MACHINE. WE HAVE CCW NOW.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
TV, not a chance. The road is not that bad or won't be as soon as it cools off and we get some more snow. It is a lot worse than the road they folmed on, but a lot slower paced and much less traffic.
The logging co is new and ust in the beginning stages, so everything is in slooow mode right now. I always wanted to do this, but unles it speeds up some I will go back to the so called ice road, at least one trip a week. It is fun to be out in the woods, but It has to pay the bills. lol
Congrats Star, but can't say I envy that job! Lol

I consider logging truck drivers to be some of the best drivers in the world. Seeing them come out of the mountains on pure ice roads pulling tandem makes my butt hole pucker, just watching them.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
gotta love driving an 18 wheeler down a mountain.
one good thing is, you won't fall asleep behind the wheel.
This sounds really terrifying! I couldn't imagine riding along. Good for you though. Congrats on the new gig.
I agree 100% The boys that pull lumber out of the hills on the east side of Ohio are excellent. How they keep it together with the worn out trucks the companies give them on the worn out roads is pure skill.Originally Posted by waksupi
And I thought keeping heavy equipment afloat in the Mississippi gumbo was a challenge.You go dude!
Congrats Starmac!
If you get tired of the weather up there, there's lots of logg'n here in East Texas.

Does not sound like fun! My days of doing things that are dangerous are over, paying for it now too!
No thanks, I was raised in East Texas, and would be tired of your weather by the time I got there. lol Besides that driving in an ice storm in Texas is DANGEROUS.
I came within 15 to 20 feet of crashing head on with a dog team today, you just can't do that in Texas. lol
Most exciting thing I did today was pull an ancient twin-stick Mack into the shop from our back lot for one of the new guys to service...glad he wasn't with me because it took me ten minutes to remember the combination for reverse. Real truck drivers have my deepest respect, it's dangerous enough just working on the rigs much less driving them places I wouldn't take a HMMWV.
