- Jeff Tellefsen comes off of Porter creek near Bellingham Wa. 8-14-17 . Hauling for ZBW logging. Truck is a 99 Peterbilt with a 550 3406E model Cat motor.
Thanks for letting us hear the sound of the engine instead of crap music. Those of us who love machinery want to hear the damn machinery. Impressive driving.
ok, but who watches this in their spare time
@@SomethingAbtScience right here
Thanks for the great video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music. I don't know why some people are compelled to add annoying background music throughout their video.
@@calebzehm2390 hell yeah

It's not just the amazing thought of a 70,000 lb semi truck loaded with logs coming off that mountain down a steep narrow winding road. But having worked in logging, don't forget the men and machines that spent all that time busting that rock and pushing that dirt that build they road all the way up the side of that mountain. Having built roads like this I know about the risks and dangers and thrill of being on the side of a mountain riding on the edge pushing dirt and rock building a road where there wasn't one before. Great video guys great work by people who deserve more gratitude and thanks.
To think....all the people who designed this truck....tires...bolts...welders. Its the man behind the wheel that makes this possible. Just an amazing act of courage and skill....all for a days wage.
I use to haul cars from Houston to Seattle some years ago...and I knew that I saw the best truckers in the US coming down the mountains late nite in very bad winter weather...
but you my friend...you are something else..
tip my hat to west log haulers
Carlos - I just did a round trip from Houston to Boise , ID to get a 1931 Ford Roadster with my F-250 and a single car hauler. I left the Houston area on Christmas day and from Albuquerque to Boise, through the mountain passes in Utah, more snow than I've ever seen in my life! Thank GOD for snow plows!!!! It was slow goin', white-knuckles all the way. I made it safely back home but I think I have PTSD from driving those icy, snow-covered mountain roads - it scared me to death. I can only imagine what stories you could tell about driving in those conditions to Seattle.
Trying to check in snow covered audis around Seattle .. Them check in guys giving you hell .. I don't miss it ..
@@BigTex347 kkkkk im an old semi retired now...and I dont go west ever anymore... all I do now is GA TX MN WI OH ...that's it..my next and final stop will be Boca Raton Fla. and say good bye to trucking....I loved and hated every mile...but my days are almost over...still think that the good old north western truck drivers are the best I ever met...
In a situation like this, I'll never underestimate how dangerous a sneeze can be
Insert the sneezing exploding dog meme

Ha! Thats what she said
😂😂😂😂😂
They should hire Swift drivers for this and then film it.
I'm sure they'd find a way to kill themselves driving this road. They'd all be shitting themselves in fear.
They'd wreck on the way up empty
Them Swift guys would screw up right on the spot and kill themselves because Swift is full of screw-ups! They couldn’t drive up or down these logging roads because they can’t even drive on the highways without damaging their truck and trailer because them Swift instructors don’t even train their drivers well! Look on TH-cam and you’ll see Swift in a lot of these trucking fail compilation videos. Same thing with Schneider!
Everyone is a rookie at one point and at least swift gives newbies a job fresh out of school ,I'll be one this spring. Newbie that is
😂😂😂
I am definitely relieved that he didn't actually go off the cliff good awesome driving to him
Its what the fucking title promised me though lol
@@SomethingAbtScience trust me it's what I thought too I was trying to wake up videos of semi trucks rolling down Hills
It's called clickbait.
I watched this 5 times. I'm a physician but I'm fascinated by all facets of driving. Particularly truck driving. I tell my family I want to truck and they look at me as though I lost my mind.
Glad you enjoyed it. If you're ever in the area come take a ride!
@@104bigTruck I cant thank you enough sir. If your ever have a question medically related or want referrals I'm here for you!
hopefully wont need any medical but with this job ya never know lol :)
LoL!!!.....Just get in the truck and show them u also can do it😂😂😂
Then add 3am in the morning side ways rain and fog with 10' or less visibility. Love it . Did it for years great video.
I really enjoy this video,to look over the edge gives me the willies, I have come off mountains roads like this a long time ago.
Next time I go to Home Depot to buy 2 X 4's, I promise not to complain about the price.
I mean I still am. That money isn’t going to the guy pulling shit, it’s going to corporate pockets that sit on their ass all day thinking of how to fuck the little man out of money
That's very true I wouldn't want to drive or ride in that truck .
I had the very same thought.
Jacob Jones it's called capitalism. I'm sure the guy driving the truck is getting paid. No one is forcing him to drive the rig. You should be glad the guy you think sits on his ass all day is able to do business cause bet the guy driving the truck is. Your way of thinking is a lot of what's wrong with this country these days. You probably think your one of the little guys and if you are it's because your lazy and probably spend more time trying to get your money off someone else's hard work. Bet you vote Democrat too
Some people are proud to do a good days work for a paycheck. Just saying. You complain more than the guy doing the work. Sad people like you feel the way you do. Quit being negative. Just spreads bad shit down the line.
No fear in the hills ,it’s when you get near the soccer moms drivers.
The most true reply I have seen.
@@jeremywall7206 😆
Got that right landfills mountains anything off road is the safer route lol
Wow, I saw this vid before that movie. Then I saw the movie. Never made rhe connection that it was the same red Pete! Thanks for the vid. Nice driving btw!
Right on right on . :)
That is a nice, smooth, well maintained haul road.
Nope. Notta. Nyet! 34 yrs, 5 million miles, coast to coast, border to border(and still driving) I thought coming down Lewiston grade in the winter grossing 80k with a load of wheat was something. Not compared to this!
Driver...I salute you!
Been down lewiston grade many times it's worse coming down it unloaded.
In the snow
Lewiston is a nice slope. Whitebird, just south, is another fun one in a foot of snow.
@@SloppyballsMcGuillicutty White Bird is nice, especially in severe wind.
AWESOME VIDEO. So much reminded me of my late 20’s when hauling logs in BC Canada. It was in the early 1970’s as I am now in my 70’s. Still trucking and love it. Absolutely LOVE IT. (And YES, the road builders are skilled beyond compare!)
I love it when you whiney boys cry about Liberals!...
@@stevebell4906you have it exactly backwards.....the liberals ARE the whiny people. Conservatives work and do useful things and make the world function. Look where the liberals are ‘employed’......usually some touchy feely soft environment where very little useful productivity occurs. If all the Conservatives disappeared in a twinkling, liberals would immediately be in chaos.
Funny....I never gave thought to the people who built the roads. In my delusional manner....I thought they just happened. Lol
@@raycoleman3183 I've a dem and proud of it and oh, by the way, I've worked at a steel mill for 33 years and counting, nothing touchy feely about that bro! Wow.....
@@deanteasdale6252 You come from the Old School Democrats…..that was my family background! Working class conservative Democrats. Nothing wrong with that clan. It is the New Liberals, the Progressives, that are the PITA and give Old School Dems like yourself a bad image. Sort of like the far Right Wing taints ‘Conservatives’. There really are at least four Party identities, two (or more) under each major party umbrella. Difficult to get a consensus on anything. Just voting by Party affiliation these days is a disaster. A voter must do their homework and vote for the Candidates best aligned with one’s values. Happy New Year!
Brings back fond memories . You almost make it look like a walk in the park. Slow and easy gets you down in one piece . Darn , I miss my logging truck.
My hubby did this in the 70's & I'd go with him sometimes. Total respect for the loggers. True professionals.
I worked for a man who did logging in the Northwest back in the 70’s (now resides in the Southeast), he said that back then if the truck even hiccuped a bit, stuttered, slipped a wheel, etc. it was your doom. He then went on to tell me that he wouldn’t trade the experience behind the wheel for anything. Great driving, really great driving. 👌🏻
This makes hauling my little ol' Travel Trailer up and down Colorado's Mesa's child's play!
Everyone has commented on the skills of the truck driver, what about the men who make the road ?
Thats kinda the easiest part. Skidders are fairly light compared to this truck. Plus this engine is more likely to 'run away' than a little skidder. Plus its like 20 to 30 foot longer.
That’s what I was thinking! Who is the cat skinner who cut that road!
@@rcymnt and @Bob W. Exactly. Road was well done. Hugged nicely and widened in just the right spots.
Must "have" been. Sheesh.
Hell yeah. Working for a company that only builds logging roads I can tell you it's way. More dangerous building the. Then driving on the finish product
There are a lot of "truckers" who drive the open interstate system doing 125,000 plus miles a year. You have my respect as to the skill it takes to drive on these goat paths.
You're truck sounds beautiful. She purrs like a panther.
Thanks 👍
Steel balls my guy steel. That's some impressive driving and must be One hell of a rush.
It gets in the blood!
Folks this is "A Professional Driver." A True Master of Skill. My hat is off to you Sir. My Late husband and I had owned a Two truck flatbed operation in Pflugerville, Tx. I most always rode along with him. He began his career hauling Tetri something Nitro something, I believe he said it was Liquid Fertilizer that was very explosive. I have yet to see anyone with the Driving Skill and Finesse he had. A very meticulous and aware Driver. You also posses these skills. Thank you for your professionalism.
Kim Guyda very professional. Driving with one hand and video taping with the other. That's not professional.
PbNTheory It's a camera on his head.
Tyler Forrester lol savage!
Kim Guyda Pflugerville Texas is a good place it defiantly grown my business is expanding in Pflugerville,North Austin, round Rock and cedar Park. Tree trimming, junk haul off, small demo, privacy fences, furniture moves, carpet, painting and other services if you're still in the area you will here about me (Helping Hands Of Texas)
Master of skill? Lol. Take it easy. Just take it slow in low gear with engine retarder. No big deal.
Autopilot will never replace drivers like you !
true
Takes a special kind of person to calmly navigate thousands of pounds of metal down a road like this. Not your average driver 4 sure.
Um those are logs
@@kazoski6110 umm the truck is made of metal
The title had me thinking that the logger was going to crash over the cliff but when I got to the end of the video I realized he's coming down from the cliff LOL
A good documentary about log trucks in their native habitat.
boy that truck working hard
My stomach was queazy just watching the video .......great driving and love that jake. Could listen to that all day
Video of a guy getting arm loppe doff by a bucket hole is what maked my queazy, this is just badass
Couldn't pay me enough 😂😂😂 more power to you brother 🤜🏻🤛🏾 and Merry Christmas ⛄🎄⛄🎄
Gotta be one of the best videos in TH-cam history! Keep trucking brother! And praying!
Wow! Thanks :)
The dislikes are from the people that object to logging and have no true understanding of what they are arguing against. As a forest manager from Arkansas we don't have "hills" like this and I would dare say that very, very few of our drivers could make this haul successfully. Well done sir, and as stated by others, thanks for not putting music over the video. Log on brother
I haul logs north of the border. Tri drive,quad trailer. This is impressive. These vids never truly show how steep the roads are.
Greg Or Jen
On the point
Greg Or Jen how long is the trailer? I'm a driver but I know absolutely nothing about logging . I would definitely drive this road!
Matthewloa sorry, don't have a measurement but I'm gonna guess it's bout 30 ft. We pack short logs, 3 bundles up to 20 ft per bundle .trailer is pulled by a hitch ,not fifth wheel. Weights are 140,000 lbs or 63 500kg legal highway weights. You can probably find vids of these units on yt. Canadian log trucks.
Pray engine noise
attle does not cause a rock slide. 😬😰😱
i haul wood in Florida. mostly double bunk pine or hard wood. 48 ft trailer with 5ft overhang allowance. due to softer soil down here we're only permitted for 88k lbs but we haul up to 110k lbs. i tip my hat to you driva cause this isnt for a rookie driver at all.
Guy on radio: “What kind of MoToR dO yOu HaVe in your truck?”
Driver: not a damn word
💯😂
Thanks for the comments everyone. I Simply and quickly made a title Peterbilt comes off a cliff meaning I just drove down a pretty impressive rd. Sorry if any of you guys felt baited. I was hoping to just share my day with everyone .
104bigTruck, greeting from down under. Mate, that looks challenging, I'd like to have a go at that just for the experience. I've had experienced quite a bit in a truck, but I believe there is still so much more try, that won't happen though as I fell off the back of a truck a few years ago and damaged my spine. Keep those wheels turning and drive safe
104bigTruck ... Sir you scart pee pee out of me! My only wish is if you could mount go pros on back side of your trailer. I get nerve wracked just trying to negotiate a poorly paved windy county road in my one ton dually pulling a 16 foot car hauler behind... its tough not banging my trailer fender into some fricking rock sticking out
Salute to you...You see a lot of truckers, who viewed this, give you the respect you deserve...Truly risking your life for the job...
That's okay. I wasn't going to ride it all the way to the bottom with you anyway. I'd pause it at the part where the tractor catches air and you start screaming. Then I'd skip ahead to the last 30 seconds to see if you made it. (you didn't...) .
104bigTruck Wow. Just wow. I've held a class A for a decade and I've never approached anything that gnarly with real weight behind me. Nice work!
Will never moan about my commute to work again....hats off to you...
Nice truck...purrs like a cat😊
Have driven my 4x4 pickup on a few roads like this in the Kootenay area of BC. Shake my head in amazement when I can see tire track going off the road on the inside of a hairpin so just the inner tire is on the road. Nuckin futs!
Holy crap I love trucks and I love scenery but that friggin drop off and the road width just shows you what these people risk everyday of the week. To the drivers...I salute you...
Jeff, your skill-set is incredible and you have massive quantities of intestinal fortitude.
Thank you for the most excellent video.
bill thompson more like testicular fortitude.
bill thompson He's just a typical driver. You yanks are the absulute wankest drivers.
That's pigeon shit if you aren't a good driver u may feel that you need balls but a great driver would see how easy it is just stay as close to the left as possible and you'll be aight
I am in my lounge and I still had my heart in my mouth. That is "real" driving. Thank you for sharing ,its a good video.
I’ve done this many times.
Yes, it’s fun.
but only when you get to the bottom.
alive.

Long-haul for 7yrs.
Oilfield for 4yrs.
Logging for 5yrs.
Local P&D for the last 4yrs.
I’ve driven more miles in reverse than you’ve gone straight.
yeah, I hear ya brother. we're a lot flatter in northern Saskatchewan but we still have challenges in log-hauling here also.
@@SloppyballsMcGuillicutty 👏👏👏You want a cookie
I learned to drive truck in the woods of Oregon and Washington in 1973 -74. This was a fun reminder. Thanks.
This dude is badass!
Not for beginners that’s for sure , this mans a professional
Dude and his truck are as one 🏆
But also these roads are not just dirt and rocks. They are made to hold and they held. Good job everyone.
Good memories. Thanks for posting. I drove off road logging. Typical summer road and then look forward to winter roads. Pushed up with Dozer, load up and slide down. Always a challenge but was fun.
Driver: Oh look, dangerous cliff edge.
Also Driver: Lemmy just record that mid corner real quick.....
lol
Love them 12' wide roads with the iffy outer edges. When I was doing it we didn't have power steering though, and only the top 2 seniority trucks had Cats with retarders. Nice trip down memory lane, hand.
BTW, I think if some of these negative commenters ever looked over the end of a hood at the top of a 25-30% grade with that Forest Service required outer camber, they'd never get the nerve up to release the brakes and call out "Leavin' the shovel"! The camera don't do it justice...
Be safe.
The fact that he filmed this while driving down is amazing
Fuck that shit. My mirror would be scraping the side the whole way down
bring ruckus Lmao
Best part of logging is first truck in bush loading at 4am !! Out on roads like that in the rain and dark here in New Zealand !!
Same here on west coast of BC . 1st truck , many times.
Brother I've been a heavy equipment operator all my life and drove big backdumps and especially Scrapers off some steep stuff but now you my friend have nerves of Steele. You definitely got the Title right.thanks for sharing
There is a truck driver me, driving in the city and acting like I'm all that and then there a trucker like this guy with a massive balls driving on this road.
And somewhere there’s a treehugger watching this and has morphed into full meltdown mode 😄
Lol, they probably watched it in person. They live within the trees out there
Old yelled 77
Hopefully!!!!😂
@@SomethingAbtScience Those are the weed farmers....
I love trees, but I also liked watching this insanity. I think this driver clearly has nerves of steel and has been doing this kind of work for quite a while now! It is possible to appreciate and respect the things that are literally crucial for our survival (seen Mars lately?) AND be blown away by the talent of those dedicated enough to spend years learning their craft and honing their skills...and we can also appreciate laws like the one about cause and effect as we watch the mudslides and natural disasters continue to increase and intensify, and I'd put big money on the fact that the ceo's don't live at the bottom of that hill! 😆
Man you have my biggest respect...
Awesome Jeff. Great to see you're following in your dad Johnny's footsteps and more. I see your trucks all over. Your dad gave me a job washing his truck when you were just a toddler in strandell and I was 10...The old Maroon log truck. Can't remember if it was a KW or Pete...great memories...
I remember you washing the truck
@@104bigTruck The area coming off blue mountain and up the switchbacks on the road to Dailey Prairie along Skookum Creek canyon is quite cliffy too. Gives me the heebie geebies anymore on that drive.
This driver is acting like just another day in the office great job. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
@@104bigTruck real truck driver in my book be safe out there
Can u tell what u weight coming off that mountain
@@lmtsmt847 I was either 80,000 or 88,000 I dont recall

Thats a beautiful view ur office is out of this world ! ! !
That brought back memories! Hauled logs in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. Drove a Pete and later one of the first T800 KW's. Took a lot of flack about the "ant eater" but sure could see the woods roads better! I pulled a pup the last several years. Good to see a truck with stake extensions! We used gun barrels. Heavy!
Glad you enjoyed it Fred.
T600 was the "anteater"

@fredgrimes4049 it's still...two totally different trucks
Thats impressive no matter what they say cause if something went wrong it would be bad wrong
Gotta do everything right on that trip
Dude, you're an excellent conductor ... you know when to play the drums and when to help Jake's saxophones, making the orchestra arrive safely at the end of the hill! Congratulations !
Great video man,you guys are freaking nuts,been driving 47 yrs and drove everything with wheels,everywhere,some bad playses,but you got me there,hats off to you boys,that takes guts and dam good skill man.
Good road builder. Smooth driving as well.
I would get years and years of experience at small hills before I would dare to go up a mountain like that. Respect
My hat off to you , bro .!!!! God bless you and keep on trucking SAFE !!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, very impressive work! Whenever I'm in my customer's mills, I wonder where each log came from and the journey they took to get there.
I was looking for video of trucks driving up stairs and found this. I train sled dogs close to hear (off Middle Fork Rd) and can see this timber contract from my parents’ place outside Sedro! Too cool.
I'm so happy you didn't go off the Cliff!...... That's one great Fair ride, Awesome Skill!.....👍
It's absolutely amazing that those trees are growing on top of all that granite rock
Holy crap! You've got major guts....and I absolutely LOVE the sound of the rig(maybe I'm just weird😂)❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻
I don't think your the only one that likes the sound of a good old caterpillar engine
It probably reminds you of a Cat Purring . . . . or CAT!
Angela G you are
What you hear from the truck sound is called a Jake Brake
Angela G I rode on a big truck as a kid like all my childhood and the smell takes me back to being a kid
Damn that truck is powerful. Not only it hauls logs, but also those balls of steel you have.
I'm actually glad I'm in the south hauling logs...I couldn't be where they at hauling logs
Man oh man… hats off to this driver and all the mountain truckers! Those blind corners soaring out to empty space around the cliff - that would freak me out. And my eyes couldn't help but focus on those places where loose scree seemed to be holding the roadbed together.
TH-cam: want to see a man drive a truck on a mountain?
Me and 1.7 Million People: Yes
Lhh
Smooth operating, you've got to know your rig on those trails.
I used to drive log truck. We would come down grades like that in East Lewis County and St Helen's country. The only difference was, My truck was a 62 KW narrow nose, 5X4, 335 Cummins and 2 speed Eaton's with walking beams for suspension. Ol for the good old days....Not! I'd take one of these sharp turning, high horsepower, 18 speed, air conditioned, air ride logger chassis over them old bastards any day! Lol
Offgrid Cabin you mean 20.speed trucks?
Offgrid Cabin I'm sure we crossed paths once or quite a few times. I live in that area too. Last log truck I drove had a C-15, 18 speed and Pete air ride. Way nicer than the old trucks, but I do still like to see them for nostalgia's sake.
Wtf is a 2 speed Eaton? Been working on and building trucks the last 13yrs and that's the first I've heard of a 2 speed
It's a two-speed rear end. They were popular on logging and heavy haul trucks before the 18-speed came along. They worked well with a 13 speed.
Another day at the office lol.... What a view!!!!
WOW is all I can say, glad you are a great driver
It looks like a lot of Seattle Liberals watched this to see you drive off a cliff Jeff! Sorry to break their hearts, but we do this every day.
This is one of the many reasons why I respect truckers!

Balls of freakin steel mate. I doth tip my cap in your direction. Nice one.
Nice job! 28 year otr guy myself , slow and steady is what is needed here...
For all those complementing the driver’s skills... he is a pretty good videographer as well! It takes talent to drive while looking through the lens of a camera!
This guy needs a second peterbilt to carry his nuts!!! Wow good job
Good driving bud what a view!!!
I'd have my eyes glued to the road, lmao.
was expecting the truck to roll off a cliff lame.
I seriously thought the video was about a truck going over 🤦🏾♀️
Some of the best things about being a flatlander, I didn't have to build that goat path , I don't have to drive that goat path and I don't have to share roads with people who drive that goat path! Well done! My hat is off to any involved with that adventure!!!
Dang dude. I know this is a 7 year old video, but watching this made me grip the edges of my desk so hard I left indentations where my fingers were.
@@stoogegamer2883 ha timeless huh?
When he said let the hills begin I said this man is crazy bcuz from the start all I saw was hills very good driving sir and that thing garbles and barks in low gears with the Jake's sweet
I remember as a kid riding with my stepdad hauling logs on the Olympic Peninsula and being terrified as I looked out the passenger window straight down. Seemed like a miles long fall to a six year old! He drove a Kenworth.
Great video,very brave guys, awesome terrain.
Truck driving excellent,all under control,at all times.
Was surprised by the steepness of the goat track.
Top man .
A goat might have trouble with that road Thought they were in Iran or somewhere!!
I literally was expecting the truck to Fall off the cliff. I didn’t know he meant just drive down the cliff. 😦
We got a few hills like that in Idaho, that's where the timber company would send you in winter, lol. There's nothing like the rush of an icy beaverslide ! 😧😬😳🤪 then you realize your crazy as hell !
Wow...very impressive video and thanks for sharing it with us. The skills involved in getting down safely in one piece is amazing.
this is how life works for us. you are raised doing this as a young person and then it is just you later. not realizing the danger of it all. I drove every kind of rig that ever been made and you have one on me. great job,fool.lol they call you clickbait. you call them candyass crybabys pulling each others kingpins. they only winners are the big money guys sitting at home. rock on big guy you win
Curt Ray well said
I’d take this over an office job anyday
That’s what my husband says...🤣
OMG, I wouldn't feel comfortable driving my 1/2 ton on that "road", amazing driving! Unbelievable amount of blasting, that must have been hairy for the drilling rigs on those native side hills.
Definitely I have to go to the toilet. I feel butterflies on my stomach For the amazing music from the truck. But the view definitely will make you go number 2. Thanks for the amazing video.
Man I miss doin this in the Sierra Cascades, you cant explain how gnarly steep some of that is. I did it for about 10 years and even though I do miss it, Im man enough to admit I dont have the desire to push the limits required anymore. Its a crazy fun and mentally taxing job, I salute all those fellas out there in the hills!
