thanks Mr Skadill .... thanks for my £1 royalty from buying the video back when I made it... that is very good of you - you helped feed my family and pay the rent.
I am retired now but worked for many years as a First Aid Attendant and Log Truck Dispatcher for Pat Carson Bulldozing, later bought out by Hayes Forest Services in their Walbran Division. An empty off highway truck and trailer weighs about 75tons and hauls 100+tons of wood. Driving one of these trucks off a mountain is THE most dangerous job in the woods.
Thank you for posting these videos again. I saw this video on TH-cam back in high school 13-14 years ago and I remember falling in love these trucks and wanting to drive on so bad, and just a few weeks ago I was looking for this exact video too. I drive them small little highway log trucks now but those beautiful beast are still my dream.
I'm an old adrenaline junkie, but I'll pass on your job as quick as I would ice road trucking. Retirement must be making me soft, I'm just not lured to doing that stuff anymore, but I do enjoy watching it. Thanks for the educational experience.
there are some very good jobs in the woods - I saw some of the finest excavator operators I have ever seen. The man who feeds the loggers was also a very nice man.
I am re digitising some of my work before sailing films and parking them here - I got an email from the wife of one of the loggers in the films asking me if I would put them on the web so that her kids could see what their dad was like.
Why is Canadian forests slow burning in WEF Biomass Energy? All that wood seen here is destined for UK Energy production. No new homes for young Canadian families
I bought this 86 minute dvd near 20 years ago, I've have watched it enough to narrarate most of it now.

they are marvelous trucks - so impressive - and the blokes were really nice to deal with ..... intelligent, thoughtful and with real guts
Short of being a fighter pilot I can't imagine a bigger adrenalin rush. Much respect!
No kidding on that job....They are huge. This is what the West Coast of Canada log world is all about...100 % respect to these drivers.
Great film thanks for that
