I was in a similar situation , it was only my service truck and service trailer I ended being towed out by a line skidded , what a mess I was in I feel bad for the man Thanks for sharing the real goings on in the logging world out West 👍
With nothing exciting, you sure had a good one this time. Without lugging it out log by log, after it freezes it will be a piece of cake! Great coverage!!!
I guess you don't know where tswasene is. You would some years have to wait the whole winter and still not get a proper freeze to support the truck and if it did occur the fuel tanks and other running gear would be frozen in. Best to unload the trailer and use the excavator to get dunnage under the tractor drive wheels and then try to get the front end up. Or still unload and call a big tow truck that can lift on the front end and pull.
Why did that left front wheel keep locking up? Kind of looks like the front brakes are adjusted way to tight. Hog fuel roads are used all the time here in Washington and work real well unless there is no bottom underneath. Thanks for the show.
Probably nothing wrong with the brakes. If there is no bottom to support the loaded truck, once the tires start to sink then it started to push the hog fuel and it was done in at that point.
Checks out, road has to give completely out before a the logger or forester wants to fix it. Meanwhile the truck is donating his time not getting a load out

This is Tsawassen B.C.
Canadian's wisdom at it`s best...
Wood chips and water don't make for much of a road bed.
That looks like a long day ahead.
I was waiting for some of the logs come off the front bunk. Great save there.
Thumbs up(#289).Good little vid!
As a former owner/ operator log trucker of 27 years ,I could comment for days.
But I wouldn't want to crush anyone's dreams.
Ur a big showoff Cliff
Poor Terry lol . I feel the pain 😭❤
Big money cottonwood, too, well worth all the trouble.
Not for the driver who gets paid by the load that he cant even get...
my calculator says 9000 KG is 19000lbs. good video, was nice seeing a current one from you
sharp looking kenworth it reminds me of sonny pruit trucking from the tv series " movin on " starring Claude Akins and Frank Converse ..
A few rig mats would have made life so much easier in that wet spot....
Those jeeps are a pain. Some rig mats would be a good solution, cheap option.
Maybe gravel works better there. Nice Kenworth!
Guess they got as much rain as we did on the island. Oh boy
Who makes roads out of wood chips. A nice gravel driveway is a must.
Hog fuel roads are very good until the bottom drops out of the base
Thanks Todd adventures never stop ain’t logging in the rain fun
Log truck trying to be a bulldozer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bound up with bark 😊 no biggie.

One more cheap road what do you think going to happen,
been there done that thats looggin sometimes lol
Typical truck driver, not a pulling chain to be found 😂
A chian is not going to nothing in this case, too heavy , too deep .
They should have 6 wheel drive Army Truck's
They'd be good for offroad but they are slow, loud, uncomfortable, and hard to control once you get on the highway. It would be cool to see one though
W 900 b setback ? Or t800 square hood
T800H I think. I don't think they ever made a setback w900, or at least I can't find a picture of one.
Doug in the cab of the log truck?
no, he drives the loader truck
@skadill Todd, you work with Whieldon? Aaron and I work together. Darren has hauled a bunch of short loads for me 👍
Ain't logging fun?
You play snowrunner
What a nuisance. (didn't want to swear)
Couldn’t the loader tow him out from the front?
in a public park,would have ended up on pavement parking lot and wasnt allowed where the orange tree protection fence is located
