I'm an older truck driver, 66, no tickets or accidents. I'm a very sensible driver . Don't have testosterone overload, would like to try this type of work, but it's hard to get hired on anywhere.
He's doing fine. The goal here is to never let the load get any momentum. If he runs out of air, he can stop and air up because he's barely moving. Once that load gets momentum, his options are limited.
His trailer is locking up. Going to get into trouble. Right side. There is a thing asgoing to slow. Im not there ofcourse just seems to be hoing to slow
@mattdillon4398 haha you obviously have never drove a big rig with a heavy weight going . Stay in your car we don't need drivers like you driving semi tractor
The jake ain't gonna do shyte for the trailer braking, he's using all the tires he has and he's still skidding. If he just jaked that truck there, he'd jack knife in a second
@jesse75 It's a perfectly reasonable answer. If you wanted me to be more specific why not just say so? It looks like the western part of Oregon. The Mid to Northwest part to be specific. You're welcome, Mr. Grouchy Butt.
A question from an australian: Who works in the US logging industry nowadays? Are american born whites still the majority? Is there any shortage of willing workers,and perhaps an influx of immigrants?
In the east it's all American born Whites. Quite a few Amish in logging, they'll out work any regular American any day of the week. I don't know about out west though.
@@RunkStillRides do u know what a off highway truck is better look it up we don’t drive on paved roads. So before u tell people to quit making shit up do ur home work
A lot of log truckers are young guys who are invincible. Only the smart ones become old log truckers.

Its not air that he needs to worry about its glazing his brakes from too much heat then they dont work
@DionPilkington others were commenting about him loosing air. Either would be a problem
No he is not riding your brakes and stopping and going is asking for trouble
@@jasonnash3164 what do you suggest he do in this situation?
His trailer is locking up. Going to get into trouble. Right side. There is a thing asgoing to slow. Im not there ofcourse just seems to be hoing to slow
I’ve watched those log trucks coming off the Idaho mountains in the snow. Impressive!
Never be overconfident in a situation like that smart driver 👍
That guy ain't smart you burn your brakes out and lose control the way he is driving
@@jasonnash3164 You don't burn your brakes out going 1.5 miles an hour and that's a fact.
@mattdillon4398 haha you obviously have never drove a big rig with a heavy weight going . Stay in your car we don't need drivers like you driving semi tractor
Looks like western Oregon maybe. They have units like that. Beautiful country
It doesn't matter how heavy the load is .what does matter is what gear you're in and stay in .
Perfect driving. Perfect load
It's a good start when your brakes are crying right off the bat 😮
Some of the TH-cam truckers in the comments would say otherwise 😂
In my experience the only time brakes make those noises is when they're out of adjustment
@@terrypetersen4361 You don't know what you are talking about. Truck brakes always sound like that and worse in these steep mountains
@nspro931 I only started in 77, so I'm confident in my statement
I've driven every kind of truck make on the road.
Most of them brakes never made noise.
In dirt dry conditions, I could see them making some noise.
These drivers are the best
My name is Al Gore and I approve this message.
Loggers have big balls work hard and pay big taxes . God bless the Loggers.
Let it roll just a little more! Came off lots of hills like that
Bracelin log hauling HQ out of Coos Bay farest ridge is called Callihan
Yea you got to be cautious and careful about hailing logs when you are transportation logs to the mills
Put in low gear let the jake sing
Jake if it's not an automatic
I wonder if many of the commentors even know what a jake brake is.
The jake ain't gonna do shyte for the trailer braking, he's using all the tires he has and he's still skidding. If he just jaked that truck there, he'd jack knife in a second
Put in the lowest possible gear and go . You are going to run out air pumping the brakes like that. Put your foot on the brake and keep it there
Is that YOUR Expert Opinion?
@@neilo.hislop950Let's hear your sexpert opinion 😂
He is going to run out of air, the engine is pretty much at idle and yes he's pumping the brakes on and off.
Nice job. Where is this logging operation at?
In the mountains.....
Ridiculous answer.
@jesse75 It's a perfectly reasonable answer. If you wanted me to be more specific why not just say so? It looks like the western part of Oregon. The Mid to Northwest part to be specific. You're welcome, Mr. Grouchy Butt.
Somewhere on that hillside there must be a amazon or fed ex truck driver following its 14 language GPS.
You got it down the hill!
Didn’t hear the Jake cackling.

Looks like there are still a few trees left that need harvesting.
I with some of the comments made some of these guys never drove a heavily load d truck before
Holy get your foot off brake .
Right
He's scared
This is what a deep reduction 15 speed is for
Wtf, to much brakes 🤦
Cool.
Now I want yo see you do it with six inches of mud and slop.....
That would be oilfield trucking! Add in ice n snow too!
@dondavidson3440 Funny. I used to drive a B-61 Mack with a quad box in the oilfield. In low-low, you could walk faster than the truck moved.
Get off the brakes buddy, stick it in first use the jake itll hold.
Yeah, that was pretty steep..lol😮😮😮
probably 3x steeper then it looks on camera
Been on way worse roads than that. Bigger loads
12% and lockers you be fine
It’s a nice dry road let her run out np
Missing one wrap
If that is steep then u better come see some roads iv been on. 32-36 percent + tight switch backs.
You aren’t going up or down a 36% in the dirt. Stop making shit up.
@@RunkStillRides do u know what a off highway truck is better look it up we don’t drive on paved roads. So before u tell people to quit making shit up do ur home work
@ I’m a dozer hand. You’re not going up OR down a 3:1 loaded. Get real.
@@RunkStillRideswhat is a dozer man. If u want Come to Vancouver island and I’ll take to for a ride so u can shit ur pants.
I hauled logs on Fantasy Island too. I thought the grades were a solid 38 %
I love how the BOSS only cares about profit
Without profit you wouldn't have a job. Profit is absolutely the most important thing. If you were a boss you would know that.
