Tough job, not for the faint hearted. These guys are above average in skill and nerves of steel. A dying breed. Thanks to all the loggers and operators out there.
Greg from northern Michigan. Fantastic channel. Grew up in Spokane WA and several of my high school freinds worked in family owned logging companies. Went out a few times with them to see how it was done back in 1970. Pretty tuff work felling trees, skidding logs, bucking them by hand, and loading single logs at a time. The scariest job by far was driving the fullly loaded logging trucks down steep grades on freshly built roads. Many of these jobs have been made much safer with tree harvestors, feller buncher, forwarders, knuckleboom loaders, etc. All except for what you do ... Transport the logs to the mill. Thanks for letting others see what's involved here. Hats off to you and your family.

Wow … giữa cái rét đông buốt giá mà con người ta vẫn làm việc ngoài trời thì thật là đáng ngưỡng mộ . Chúc các Bạn trẻ đang làm việc ngoài trời luôn may mắn , thành công , vui khỏe và hạnh phúc nhiều nhé .
well done ,I remember 55 years ago traveling through BC and seeing a huge logging truck and I mean huge carrying only one stick the size of bulk tanker , I never forgot that I was so impressed, never seen sticks that big in the Yukon
Wow! Ang hirap ng trabaho ng mga truck driver sa bundok! Nakaka-amaze ang kanilang dedication at lakas ng loob sa ganitong kondisyon. Saludo ako sa inyong lahat! Ingat sa bawat biyahe 🚛🏞️ #SaluteToTruckDrivers
yes, as a young man worked for the biggest logging company in the Southern hemispere, then we had triples on forestry roads, Pacific trucks, Cummins and twin stick spicers but no snow , no chains. thanks for vid, one must learn in a cold climate, no good trying to jump in at 45 if you've never been on these icy roads
Really enjoyed the 'real sounds' of logging: diesel truck, loader, clanking noises, etc: Thank you camera woman for not spoiling the serenity of journey by needless chatter. Back in the day 1969 when i was a kid age 20, drove a smaller logging truck than this (about 40% capacity of this outfit). (I don't miss having to chain up anymore, by the way). It is always nice to make the first tracks on the road through fresh snow!
Very nice video, these Guys are doing a awesome job. Loving it. They Camera Lady is also doing a great job with the video. All well done and keep in up.😮😊
Magandang araw! Ang nakaka-aliw at nakaka-bilib panoorin ang video na ito. Saludo ako sa mga truck driver na nagtatrabaho sa ganitong kondisyon ng mga bundok. Napakahirap ng kanilang trabaho pero kahanga-hanga ang kanilang tapang at determinasyon. Keep safe always! #RespetoSaMgaTruckDriver
And that my friends is truly trucking. The way it used to be done, you don't see everything. Lowcool onions, stoolit is big peat. He's setting up paying attention. And this is from a 90-year-old trucker. It used to do it that way good job my man
Hello my dear friend, watching the white snow falling, covering the whole car, it's extremely cold here, my friend. Like and wish my friend good health.❤❤
All of m'y respect to you my friend!!! Grew up around a family mill in Qc. My father hauled logs for many years... On a much smaller scale, i do logging in winter and run a small sawmill the rest of the year. You boys are to me some of the hardest and tough men !!!
There is the definition of “truck driver” Nothing scares me more as a truck driver than cold freezing snowy winter weather days and nights in complete isolation in these remote uncivilized loading areas. And 14 hours on the clock? I assume the camera lady is his wife and I’m happy for him having her there with him, I’ve done a fair share of trucking in my life in remote areas like this in southern United States and been there alone is not the best feeling having someone like your other half just to witness of what we have to go through in trucking I think is the only thing you wish for in those moments. I salute this man for his hard work as human…
Great video! I like watching this kind of stuff...kind of wish I was living up there...beautiful looking country. Life in the US has gotten crappy...you Canadians seem so content. 👍
Good content, tough job! My grandfather was driving a logging truck (self-employed) for 30 years. Had one of those old soviet trucks with it's own cabinless logging crane. Imagine it must have really sucked during cold winters and hot summers. Also remember him having some really long days when the truck either broke down in the middle of the forest or got stuck.
First time viewer to your channel... Loved the ride up the hill the first thing in the morning, it was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your world with us.
newcomers here😊, proud of you trucker, GODBLESS and keepsafe ,kind regards small scale driver dito sa PILIPINAS (Philippines)😊😊❤❤❤❤ ingat and godbless brother🙏🙏❤️🤗
Good job showing the stamp hammer. I have a whole collection of those same ones I even have my own timber mark, but remember, don’t mash your finger with that steel handle…. in a future video, you should get your hubby to let you try stamping the logs…. Super fun, trust me 😊
Wow very beautifully captured in such crystal clear colors and sound . I can here that peterbilts engine from from start up . The turbo sound so awesome . Anyway I'm not a log truck driver nor have i ever hauled anything like that on ice and snow. I am a logger however and a driver and I know 2:30am with 13 hours left to go before I can go home and 13 gears behind Cummins engine and the sound of a turbo charger all day ..I'm the water truck driver lol.. but I only know a few people skilled and brave enough to do what you're doing and one is my mom . She has been driving truck for 45 years and started out hauling lumber eventually ended up hauling logs and was one 2 drivers back then that was skilled and brave enough to go up the switchback steap narrow unforgiving mountain road in the dead of winter on solid ice . Now getting up to that landing is one thing but hauling that load down that mountain is a complete different story and she would do it faithfully while the other drivers would be to scared . She chain that truck up so many times ..the road she was hauling off one year absolutely amazed me because it was a road that as a four wheel drive enthusiasts I was second guessing going off it and ended up turning around my jeep after only a small amount of snow and ice was present ..then mom tells me where she was hauling that winter and my jaw hit the floor! My hero . She taught me how to shift an 13 and 18 at the dinner table when I started driving water truck where as the guys trying to show me on the truck couldn't. How to adjust brakes with a 9/16th wrench on and on .. she drives truck now for construction company hauling material still getting up at 3am to go . Hell of a woman ..props to you God bless be safe out there .. need more drivers like you.
Now that's a hard labor. If the truck had liftable axles , then it might not need chains. I for example use chains if there is ice and water on top of it. Very hard working man, i respect that ;)
THAT LOOKS COLD. We get some snow here where I work in northern California but nothing like that. And starting my semi at 5am in winter sure makes me appreciate the summer!
Have to put on chains for the icy roads and take them off again to go on the highway - alcohol or methyl hydrate in the air lines so your brakes do not freeze up - up in Squamish , BC the trucks go out at 3am and are hauling 100 Miles each way from the logging past Whistler - 2 trips a day - Hard Work = hot in the summer - freezing in the winter
First of all, friend, thank you for this lovely video. It's a movie. Your life as a log truck driver in the icy mountains is both daring and crucial. Navigating challenging terrains and weather conditions, you play a vital role in transporting logs, contributing to various industries. This 13-hour journey is a testament to your and all loggers' dedication and resilience. Secondly, gaining insights into your profession involves skillful driving and a deep understanding of the surrounding environment, which is fascinating. The risks you are involved in make it a truly courageous undertaking. Yet, you and other drivers are the unsung heroes ensuring the flow of resources and knowledge within all communities. Thirdly, thank you, CoolLifeIsWonderful, and all log truck drivers, for the hard work and commitment. These experiences provide a valuable perspective on the challenges faced, and it's important to recognize and appreciate the efforts of those who take on such demanding roles. Stay safe out there! 🚛❄ Red Cardinal Kitchen
Congratulatiion, is a nice video excuseme My English I from Venezuela , I loved You work day, is hard but is life, I wish allá the Best for You, regards
Hi there,thank you for watching!Don’t worry about english as long as you can say and express it from your heart.Spanish Filipino here married to a Canadian,I write and speak english but it’s not perfect it doesn’t matter.Welcome to our youtube channel!❤️
I drive a semi log truck an trailer every day hauling logs out of the deep woods in all kinds of weather ice mudd etc to the mills put in 15 to 18 hours a day sometimes gets dangerous
Thank you for showing all of us that there are still real men in the world! Thank you for sharing all of this with us. I spent most of my childhood in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. As a kid in the 1970s and '80s, we used to go to several of the local sawmills to get slabwood pine to use as firewood. $5 a pickup truck load back in the day. Many good memories. Also good memories of the woodsman's days in Tupper Lake, where there were many competitions among the different logging trades. Those were the good old days for sure. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. And for a very interesting look into the hard work that keeps our country's moving. Or I think it's Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs that puts it as, "the men and women that make the civilized world possible". So true. Thank you for what you do, and please stay safe.
Il neige beaucoup chez vous. Vous êtes formidable. Beau travail. Bravo. Merci beaucoup d’avoir partagé votre magnifique vidéo. Je vous souhaite le meilleur. À bientôt mon cher ami 42:15👍🍀🥰
Great Video... Not to "put down" the Ice Road drivers, or Any other OTR (Over The Road) drivers... but they have it pretty easy compared to what these drivers do and have to endure. Great job of videoing this.... without all the "chatter" that you hear in most videos. What part of the Philippines do you come from?.... I have multiple friends who are married to gals/ladies from there. As soon as I saw the last portion of your video, with the food on the table.... I knew right away where you are from. lol : ) I have eaten Many meals prepared by my friends Philipina wives.... Yummmmmmy!! Keep up the great work and cheers to your husband for what he does... from a retired OTR Owner/Operator & driver with nearly 52 years experience. I live in the States, but lived and trucked all over Canada, from Newfoundland to "the Beach" (Vancouver) back in the 1970's and 1980's. I actually took a break from trucking in the mid/late 1970's and moved to Kamloops, and got a job working for the "Head Hunters" machine shop, repairing cracked cylinder heads and engine blocks for diesel engines.... beautiful country out there. This is my first video of yours that I have seen... and I subscribed right away, and "liked" the video, will be looking on your channel to see what other videos there is from you. Salamat sa lahat ng ginawa mo. ; ) Sorry, my Tagalog isn't very good.
Love to see when they can unload an entire stack of wood at once, watched a video from Sweden quite cool but he was using those automatic straps that tighten as the load compresses during travel, seems quite handy.
Great video, I see your company trucks quite often when on Interstate 87 in the Adirondacks as I go to and from work and in the truck stop near our shop. You guys haul some awesome loads. It looks like a really clean operation. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Sir, how do you get the chains over the top of the log pile.?. Wish your camera gal would ask you what your doing.!. Damb, i never knew trucking logs would require so much of ya. You make that tuff job as easy as 1, 2, 3. 😮😊
If you are referring to the wrappers you throw a certain way there is a hard way and easy way watch other video to see the easy way and thanks for watching
Hello,logs are used for plywood and lumber.On tempura recipe I use from scratch and when busy I use the store bought tempura mix powder.For one large sweet potato I measure a cup of ready mix tempura powder with 1/2 cup +3 tbsp cold water.I will post soon on live stream on how I make a yakisoba and tempura.There are practical and easy recipes too on TH-cam.
Sir you've chosen a tough life, an yet you make it go so smoothly.😮 what fluid do you use, onto the ends of cable for trailer back lites .?. Glad you have a ' right hand man' to hold the flash light!. ❤😊
@debbiebjorklund3241Hi there,thank you for watching!❤️I don’t have knowledge in trucks or mechanics ,I will let my husband answer your questions when he is not busy at work.Thank you so much for joining our channel,we appreciate it.God bless you!
I'm not a truck driver yet, but I've passed all of my test and about to start schooling for it. I believe the fluid used on the connections is alcohol to help prevent the airlines and air tanks to freeze which will cause brake failure. Not 100% sure thats what it is tho
I did a ride along with a logging truck based out of Golden around 1986 when I was 25 years old to see if it was the something I wanted to do. Nope. Those guys are crazy and take their life in their hands every time they come down off the mountain in winter or slippery conditions on those crazy unprotected switch backs that get up into the cut blocks. That plus fighting those chains twice a trip. Dangerous, driving in the dark, crazy steep winding roads, long days, after hours or weekend truck maintenance. Special breed.
That bloody pin would never have touched the Tyre if you hadnt been filming ,Thats wils Wild Country up their " had a look on google he he , its great to see that a Few people are still Doing it Old style .Used to love tear assing through the forests in the Snow , My old ERF E series had a Big cam 14 litre "CUMMINS " she could perculate when Required ." giggling to myself here" oh i got the "Private residents dont want any trucks through " Yeah what a pity , Keep up the good work , interesting to watch knowing just exactly how it feels in those conditions good on ya .what motor is in the Pete ?What size Boots on the steer ? 385/425 she seems to" sit up and Beg " at the front Looks the dogs Bollocks .
Sooo much respect for your skill and motivation. Don't think even one in ten of todays wanna Bs would qualify for your job. Sides - they couldn't wear their flip flops!😅😅😅😅 You are a hearty soul. Best Wishes for 2024.
@CoolLifeIsWonderful Tough job. I hope you are at the top end pay, you definitely deserve it. Thanks for sharing here. A couple of questions regarding the logging hauling, if you wouldn't mind, sir. Maybe it was left out of the footage edit, but do you call on the CB before going up and down that steep stretch of the Peter Hope road? Did you ever encounter another truck while driving on that stretch? I can't imagine what could be done about it in a situation like that with one lane with no passing places. Excuse me for these questions because I have no idea whatsoever what I am talking about. Why do you remove the chains on the icy highway, while the other drivers seemed to keep them? It looked obvious that it did not help them, because they all got either stuck or parked waiting for the Spring to come. It suggested me that for trucks chains are not really suitable on highways. For trucks do the chains only help when it is fresh powder? I have no idea, so I am asking. Thanks again for the upload.
To answer your question when starting u Peter hope road you start by calling 0 up Peter hope and then ever 2 k until you are getting close to another truck which is every k up he is calling every odd numbers down until getting close to truck going up it has happened when you not listening to the radio truck that is empty has to back up to when it safe for him to be out of the way As for the chains we drive slow going in the bush it is no more then 50 k an hour highway speed chains are not made for high speed as for chains on roads it all come down to a lot of factors chains in the bush turn the truck into a four wheel drive and more chains means more control just think one set of drives chain up two are better and three are even better and just think adding drag chains on the trailer which is single tire on each side chain up not like the truck with what they are call triples because context in three spot middle first in side next and outside not mention steer chains it all about control in the bush as for weight plays another factor the wight on the truck is heavier to give us more control and better traction 24000k compare to 17000k on the front 2 axle of the trailer and 17000k on the rear 2 axle when driving the ice highways it not a steep as the bush and it comes down to laws of physics weight on my drives give me traction other truck you look at are spun out on hills because weight it to spreed out and don’t have good weight on the drives so for the need for chains and if weight is not right on your truck chains will not help all the weight pulling back and not down like on the logging truck down on our drives chains for us is all about control chains for highway drivers is to get from point a to b up a hill or down a hill we care about weight and where it is highway truck driver some care about the weight but other care how many drop they can get on there truck not worrying about the real question where is my weight.
@@CoolLifeIsWonderful thank you very much for the explanation. The weight distribution makes a lot of difference, I see. It makes even more sense when you got 3 drive axles 1:35:20 . Nice rig you got there. With all respect for Peterbilt's and Kenworth's that look great but being in Canada I would go for a V8 Scania 8x4/4 . If I ever make it to Sweden and become an owner operator that will be my dream truck. I've sub'd to this channel and will watch all your vids, hope all truck drivers do the same. Haul on, sir !

My hat is off to ALL those in the logging industry, especially the drivers who bust their chops. Not a job who do NOT like very hard work!

I have never seen a drive axle that would lift i believe that a tri-drive all3 axles pull and id guess 2 have lockers maybe all of them

Navigating challenging terrains and weather conditions, you play a vital role in transporting logs, contributing to various industries. This 13-hour journey is a testament to your and all loggers' dedication and resilience.
Secondly, gaining insights into your profession involves skillful driving and a deep understanding of the surrounding environment, which is fascinating. The risks you are involved in make it a truly courageous undertaking. Yet, you and other drivers are the unsung heroes ensuring the flow of resources and knowledge within all communities.
Thirdly, thank you, CoolLifeIsWonderful, and all log truck drivers, for the hard work and commitment. These experiences provide a valuable perspective on the challenges faced, and it's important to recognize and appreciate the efforts of those who take on such demanding roles. Stay safe out there! 🚛❄ Red Cardinal Kitchen

It's always a pleasure watching your video my friend 💝💝💛 interesting and entertaining.. I wish you all the best
Thank you very much❤️
Thank you for showing all of us that there are still real men in the world! Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
I spent most of my childhood in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. As a kid in the 1970s and '80s, we used to go to several of the local sawmills to get slabwood pine to use as firewood. $5 a pickup truck load back in the day. Many good memories. Also good memories of the woodsman's days in Tupper Lake, where there were many competitions among the different logging trades. Those were the good old days for sure.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. And for a very interesting look into the hard work that keeps our country's moving. Or I think it's Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs that puts it as, "the men and women that make the civilized world possible". So true. Thank you for what you do, and please stay safe.
Thank you❤
Il neige beaucoup chez vous. Vous êtes formidable. Beau travail. Bravo. Merci beaucoup d’avoir partagé votre magnifique vidéo. Je vous souhaite le meilleur. À bientôt mon cher ami 42:15👍🍀🥰
Thank you❤
This form of trucking seems so intense 🧊
Hi there,thank you for watching!❤
Great Video... Not to "put down" the Ice Road drivers, or Any other OTR (Over The Road) drivers... but they have it pretty easy compared to what these drivers do and have to endure. Great job of videoing this.... without all the "chatter" that you hear in most videos.
What part of the Philippines do you come from?.... I have multiple friends who are married to gals/ladies from there. As soon as I saw the last portion of your video, with the food on the table.... I knew right away where you are from. lol : )
I have eaten Many meals prepared by my friends Philipina wives.... Yummmmmmy!! Keep up the great work and cheers to your husband for what he does... from a retired OTR Owner/Operator & driver with nearly 52 years experience. I live in the States, but lived and trucked all over Canada, from Newfoundland to "the Beach" (Vancouver) back in the 1970's and 1980's.
I actually took a break from trucking in the mid/late 1970's and moved to Kamloops, and got a job working for the "Head Hunters" machine shop, repairing cracked cylinder heads and engine blocks for diesel engines.... beautiful country out there.
This is my first video of yours that I have seen... and I subscribed right away, and "liked" the video, will be looking on your channel to see what other videos there is from you. Salamat sa lahat ng ginawa mo. ; ) Sorry, my Tagalog isn't very good.
Hello❤Thank you so much!I’m from Tacloban City Leyte Philippines,nice to meet you!Your tagalog is good.I have my family in TX USA.
Good old Princeton bc minus 40 🥶
Hi there,thank you for watching!❤️
Nice and Amazing sharing stay blessed ❤
Thank you! You too!❤
Love to see when they can unload an entire stack of wood at once, watched a video from Sweden quite cool but he was using those automatic straps that tighten as the load compresses during travel, seems quite handy.
That would be cool!❤
Impresionante trabajar bajo esas temperaturas.
Hi there,thank you for watching!
Great video, I see your company trucks quite often when on Interstate 87 in the Adirondacks as I go to and from work and in the truck stop near our shop. You guys haul some awesome loads. It looks like a really clean operation. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thank you❤
That is a wonderful much deserved meal after a long day hauling logs in the great north...
Thank you!❤️
Sir, how do you get the chains over the top of the log pile.?. Wish your camera gal would ask you what your doing.!. Damb, i never knew trucking logs would require so much of ya. You make that tuff job as easy as 1, 2, 3. 😮😊
Oh you do talk.❤ Way cool. And ya I can read but not too fast.
If you are referring to the wrappers you throw a certain way there is a hard way and easy way watch other video to see the easy way and thanks for watching
Nice videos my new friend ! Keep them coming ! 🍺😎
Thank you❤
Newly subscribed. Very cool to see what goes on with logging truckers. Keep it up..thank you
Thank you❤
Mashaallah zabrdast bahi good luck and keep safe always 😊😊😊
Thank you❤
Thanks for this-fun to watch
Two questions:
What are the logs used for?
Can you link a recipe for that 'Sweet Potato Tempura' & 'Yakisoba'?
Hello,logs are used for plywood and lumber.On tempura recipe I use from scratch and when busy I use the store bought tempura mix powder.For one large sweet potato I measure a cup of ready mix tempura powder with 1/2 cup +3 tbsp cold water.I will post soon on live stream on how I make a yakisoba and tempura.There are practical and easy recipes too on TH-cam.
Cheers from Scotland
Sir you've chosen a tough life, an yet you make it go so smoothly.😮 what fluid do you use, onto the ends of cable for trailer back lites .?. Glad you have a ' right hand man' to hold the flash light!. ❤😊
@debbiebjorklund3241Hi there,thank you for watching!❤️I don’t have knowledge in trucks or mechanics ,I will let my husband answer your questions when he is not busy at work.Thank you so much for joining our channel,we appreciate it.God bless you!
I'm not a truck driver yet, but I've passed all of my test and about to start schooling for it. I believe the fluid used on the connections is alcohol to help prevent the airlines and air tanks to freeze which will cause brake failure. Not 100% sure thats what it is tho
Nice video I hope to do something like this in the future.
You can do it!Thank you for watching!❤
Thanks for this fun to watch🎉🎉thanks for sharing ❤❤👍⚘️⚘️⚘️
Thank you too❤
Keep safe always sir makapal na ang snow
Thank you❤
Took a load off Huricaine ridge in Sequim. Wa, I was done after that one load!😌Loggers earn the Dough!😉
Oh wow!
I did a ride along with a logging truck based out of Golden around 1986 when I was 25 years old to see if it was the something I wanted to do.
Nope.
Those guys are crazy and take their life in their hands every time they come down off the mountain in winter or slippery conditions on those crazy unprotected switch backs that get up into the cut blocks.
That plus fighting those chains twice a trip.
Dangerous, driving in the dark, crazy steep winding roads, long days, after hours or weekend truck maintenance. Special breed.
Your life as a long truck driver in a snowy mountain is dangerous and scary.
But at times it's exciting too! Stay safe always.
Thank you!❤
What a wonderful beautiful truck
Thank you❤
That bloody pin would never have touched the Tyre if you hadnt been filming ,Thats wils Wild Country up their " had a look on google he he , its great to see that a Few people are still Doing it Old style .Used to love tear assing through the forests in the Snow , My old ERF E series had a Big cam 14 litre "CUMMINS " she could perculate when Required ." giggling to myself here" oh i got the "Private residents dont want any trucks through " Yeah what a pity , Keep up the good work , interesting to watch knowing just exactly how it feels in those conditions good on ya .what motor is in the Pete ?What size Boots on the steer ? 385/425 she seems to" sit up and Beg " at the front Looks the dogs Bollocks .
Have a wonderful day everyone 💕
God bless you always 💞💞💞💞
You too!!❤

You are a hearty soul.
Best Wishes for 2024.

Thank you for visiting our channel!❤
Are the rear three axles driving or only the first two driving??? Thank you!!!😊
Hi there,Can use three but he use one.Thank you for watching,cheers!❤️
@CoolLifeIsWonderful Tough job. I hope you are at the top end pay, you definitely deserve it.
Thanks for sharing here.
A couple of questions regarding the logging hauling, if you wouldn't mind, sir.
Maybe it was left out of the footage edit, but do you call on the CB before going up and down that steep stretch of the Peter Hope road?
Did you ever encounter another truck while driving on that stretch? I can't imagine what could be done about it in a situation like that with one lane with no passing places.
Excuse me for these questions because I have no idea whatsoever what I am talking about.
Why do you remove the chains on the icy highway, while the other drivers seemed to keep them? It looked obvious that it did not help them, because they all got either stuck or parked waiting for the Spring to come.
It suggested me that for trucks chains are not really suitable on highways. For trucks do the chains only help when it is fresh powder?
I have no idea, so I am asking.
Thanks again for the upload.
To answer your question when starting u Peter hope road you start by calling 0 up Peter hope and then ever 2 k until you are getting close to another truck which is every k up he is calling every odd numbers down until getting close to truck going up it has happened when you not listening to the radio truck that is empty has to back up to when it safe for him to be out of the way
As for the chains we drive slow going in the bush it is no more then 50 k an hour highway speed chains are not made for high speed as for chains on roads it all come down to a lot of factors chains in the bush turn the truck into a four wheel drive and more chains means more control just think one set of drives chain up two are better and three are even better and just think adding drag chains on the trailer which is single tire on each side chain up not like the truck with what they are call triples because context in three spot middle first in side next and outside not mention steer chains it all about control in the bush as for weight plays another factor the wight on the truck is heavier to give us more control and better traction 24000k compare to 17000k on the front 2 axle of the trailer and 17000k on the rear 2 axle when driving the ice highways it not a steep as the bush and it comes down to laws of physics weight on my drives give me traction other truck you look at are spun out on hills because weight it to spreed out and don’t have good weight on the drives so for the need for chains and if weight is not right on your truck chains will not help all the weight pulling back and not down like on the logging truck down on our drives chains for us is all about control chains for highway drivers is to get from point a to b up a hill or down a hill we care about weight and where it is highway truck driver some care about the weight but other care how many drop they can get on there truck not worrying about the real question where is my weight.
@@CoolLifeIsWonderful thank you very much for the explanation. The weight distribution makes a lot of difference, I see.
It makes even more sense when you got 3 drive axles 1:35:20 .
Nice rig you got there. With all respect for Peterbilt's and Kenworth's that look great but being in Canada I would go for a V8 Scania 8x4/4 . If I ever make it to Sweden and become an owner operator that will be my dream truck.
I've sub'd to this channel and will watch all your vids, hope all truck drivers do the same.
Haul on, sir !
Hey driver! What do think about automatic tire chains? Seems they would save you time , if they work.
Hi there,thank you for watching!Yes its an old school LOL!❤
@@CoolLifeIsWonderful I like old school, as I'm old school vintage 1966 lol
Beautiful place...be careful for driving...lots of snow!
Thank you, I will❤
Damn GOT TO LOVE THAT WINTER WEATHER. Separates the MEN from the Boys. :)
Thank you❤
This video posted 6 months ago ,is that accurate? I was just curious about veyerus sign, are they still pushing the mandate up there?
Hi there,thank you for watching!Yes the video was uploaded seven months ago during winter season.We are on food truck work this summer season.
Very nice video sharing 👌👌
Thanks for visiting❤️
완전 최고의 멋진 영상을 한국에서 시청합니다.
Thank you!
Is the reason they put the pup trailer on rear drives for weight and traction to climb the mountain?
So we have weight on on drives that why when we are loaded we 24000 k on drives with logs and 17000 k front and back of trailer
Very nicely sharing 👍be safe always
Thanks, you too!❤
