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.

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...
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.
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 RUclips 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
😂😂😂
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
My father used to haul logs here in eastern Ky. No hills as big as these but boy were they steep. I remember my first time going with him and being nervous when looking waaay down to the bottom, he joked with me and said "Don't worry about going over the side..cause if we do, we'll starve to death before we ever hit bottom".
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!
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 !
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
Then add 3am in the morning side ways rain and fog with 10' or less visibility. Love it . Did it for years great video.
Guy on radio: “What kind of MoToR dO yOu HaVe in your truck?”
Driver: not a damn word
💯😂
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.
was expecting the truck to roll off a cliff lame.
I seriously thought the video was about a truck going over 🤦🏾♀️
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
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.
It's absolutely amazing that those trees are growing on top of all that granite rock
I learned to drive truck in the woods of Oregon and Washington in 1973 -74. This was a fun reminder. Thanks.
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
@@104bigTruck I run a dump bucket some an to me it don't compair to coming off a mountain that heavy sure appreciated you sharing that be safe out that cant wait to see another
My hat off to you , bro .!!!! God bless you and keep on trucking SAFE !!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Autopilot will never replace drivers like you !
true
The fact that he filmed this while driving down is amazing
That is a nice, smooth, well maintained haul road.
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!!!
Brings back the memory of my BC logging days. Now imagine this same road in early spring, tridem truck and tridem trailer. Lots of chains, and adrenaline. God it was fun. Rookie until you crash your first time, then you become a log truck driver if you survive and have the balls to get back in another truck and go up the mountain again. Been there done that. Good times.😁
To think that he is doing this even with a phone in his hand is so cool! And I bet would take lots of skill.
Smooth operating, you've got to know your rig on those trails.
Pretty mundane stuff for coastal logging . Just another day in the woods.
Nat Calverley the thought came to me that you might not be so "cavalier" if you were the one driving that loaded log truck on those hair pin curves around cliff drop-offs. LOL (I Just wanted to use what I thought was your name, nothing personal.)
@@xxxtexanpa I have run Hayes HDX and P16 Pacific on the B.C. Coast running up to 25 % grades water cooled brake and up ton 100 ton loads for a good part of my life and I am 59 years old . I also have run up to 10 axle low beds all over B.C. Trust me I know what steep grades and cliffs are all about. Running stump to dump off highway log trucks what you see there is done every day 12 hours a day and is just part of the job. It might be impressive to people that don’t do the job but to those of us that do the work it becomes routine.
Right? Nothing special, just hauling a load of logs off site.
@@natcalverley4344 I thought you were speaking from an amateurs viewpoint but now I understand how you can make such a remark. I know it's not all luck, it takes skill and guts. That definitely leaves me out. Thanks for the feedback Nat. You're old enough to retire and not take any more chances and just enjoy life. Have a nice day and a Merry Christmas to you and yours.
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.
I'm so happy you didn't go off the Cliff!...... That's one great Fair ride, Awesome Skill!.....👍
boy that truck working hard
While most of the people praise the trucker,let's not forget all the loggers,bulldozer operators and all the crew that built that "Road"
They built that thing in the middle of winter too.
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 bet you can warm up your meal on the brake rotors
The Jake Brake is doing most of the work.
Back in the day before engine brakes, log trucks in this area had water cooled brakes. ruclips.net/video/fLatEK6im9A/видео.html
Aah hell all ya gotta do before lunch on the final load is wrap your food in tin foil, duct tape it to the inside of the hood above the engine, take your final load, and eat while you drive back to the load site
Yes the Jake's are on. But you will hardly use your brakes. For you would be in the lowest gear to transverse this little mountain.
Just another Day at the Office!
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.
Good road builder. Smooth driving as well.
A good documentary about log trucks in their native habitat.
As a former logger I live for thissss, gotta get them trees too the mill son💪
10-4
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
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 worked under a line machine in country like this. One evening I got a ride down off the hill with one of our drivers. The road was older and better compacted, but I needed a crowbar to pry my shorts out of the crack by the time we hit the bottom. He was jabbering a mile a minute, looking over at me and laughing - I wanted to scream "Would you keep your eyes on the road!!?"
I drove a road just like this in California. 7000 ft above sea level. A few turns required a multipoint turn. Pucker factor 1000! Going up wasn't so bad, a little sweaty. Going down, I could see the potential fall off the side. I'm good. Don't need to do that again.
Why so many dislikes ?? Ohhh is it the "save the tree" people ?
those and fat whiney losers lol
Please, at least hide your ignorance.
Na not only the tree huggers but the title came up in disasters because the title “comes off cliff” making it sound like he was gonna tumble down the hill in fire and fury lol
Michael Huezo I was just thinking the same thing when I saw the misleading title TRUCK OVER CLIFF BASICALLY
This gentleman has got major skills to do THAT job
They are disliking because of the clickbait title
Gotta be one of the best videos in RUclips history! Keep trucking brother! And praying!
Wow! Thanks :)
I love jobs like this, as a mule train driver. Pictures and video don't do any justice at all. I've seen guys come into the woods with 10, 20, 30 plus years driving experience, over the highway, and walk off jobs after it gets daylight saying we're all nuts and we can have it they quit.. Good job driver, now you better get to town so you can hurry back. Hats off to the road crew too!!
In the 1970's, I used to drive oilwell cement to the rigs. Went up the Alaska hyway and anywhere from 30 to 100 miles off road down a path a bulldozer just built. Mostly in the winter after freeze up. This reminds of that. We had a few hills to deal with, but nothing like this. I'm sure you kept extra shorts with you. My compliments on your video and the show of driving skill. The only thing missing was cars trying to pass you. Lol
Incredible driving sir. Those tight corners had me excited. Stay safe driver
This dude is badass!
Salute to you driver.... Excellent precision. 👌
One of the many reasons why I love being a driver!
Wow now that's an office with a great view!!
are they hiring swift drivers? 😆🤣
day & night then the title would be for real.
day & night No Swiftys!
day & night Yes, but only for one trip down. Then the position is available again. And you get a new truck!
Only if you've been trained by one with 3 month experience.
day & night
How the heck does a fella make any money at .35c a mile doing this driving
Spent most of my life hauling on roads like that. Always pushing the weather so we'd have to haul the last week of the job down that road in the mud. Lot's of fun
A nice sunny day for hauling. Remember these guys do this year round. Add 10" of the finest west coast slop that froze overnight.
I miss the old off road trucks. Used to be brake water fill up stations all over the main lines near the hills. No run away lanes.
Holy cow man... Respect.
NO THANK`S!I just laid an egg watching this..
Another day at the office lol.... What a view!!!!
I wonder how one of those new fangled 'driverless' trucks would handle this? Respect.
They'd shut themselves off and put up a message that said, "Are you trying to kill me?!"
One word...MAGNIFICENT.
Hats off to some serious truckers. That is impressive. And how the Pete just idled up the hill with that big load. Great drivers and great trucks. American workers and American equipment at work. Thank you for what you do.
Does anyone ever think nah we don't really need these trees growing on a cliff let's go log somewhere sane...
Some trees grow best in mountains
A lot of the trees have already been killed by the western beetle epidemic. The removal will facilitate reforestation and decrease demand on harvesting live healthy trees.
Not to mention 'beetle killed' trees are prime fuel for fires. The tree huggers are one of the main reasons fires grow to the point of burning down homes and thus the need to cut more trees to rebuild.
Douglas and White fir trees grow very well in terrain like this. Great for making dimension lumber and plywood out of.
That was freakn awesome
may GOD bless you........brother. this is just on another level.
Can we all appreciate the distraction of the camera for this legend?
Not sure how that pete totes him and his balls of steel plus the wood ..
Old school Pete from the sounds of it ( built stronger and more power )
36 years driving I've been in some hair raising places, you got me beat I was nervous just watching the video good job
Great video Jeff. Been a long time since I've been in one of these so I appreciate the great videos. I remember chatting with you a bunch of times, usually at Great Western.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job coming off the cliff without jakes.
What a beautiful run with a little added danger Awesome 👍
Woah. I have a new found respect for truckers. Y'all got balls of brass.
"Damn"
And I thought Driving in Utah was tough!!!
Lmao
Nice driving!!!!!
Now that takes serious balls. Mad skills mad respect!
Thank you . It's def a rush!
Look out big chungus is coming down this here hill ... great video 👍👍👍👍👍
I will always have major respect for loggers, scares the shit out of me. I could never do it
And that’s what we call just another day at the office
I clicked expecting to see you flipping down the Cliffside but you earned the thumbs up
Alright that’s a genuine REAL Trucker....!!!!!! Dang I’m a trucker who’s hauled to Alaska for 5 years and I thought the roads I traveled over were dangerous...!!!! There nothing compared to what he’s driving on...!!!!!
I wouldn't want to drive this in my Blazer, let alone a big rig! I'll stick to Interstates and be a wimp.
Looks like fun. I'd shit my pants in the winter though. Honestly this gets my juices flowing. Love it. Thanks for sharing
I'm actually glad I'm in the south hauling logs...I couldn't be where they at hauling logs
Truckers have the most dangerous jobs of ANY profession
So underpaid
hardly
This reminds me of those deadliest roads of central America
Nice work my friend! Compression braking or J brake at its finest!! Worked w a logger out of Sedro Woolley Washington he had some crazy stories come out of them mountains early 90,s
WOW is all I can say, glad you are a great driver
This guy has balls of steel. Hell if he didn’t have a jake brake he wouldn’t have any brakes at all.
Yeah sure that takes skill but is he up to date on his diversity training?
anon how dare you assume his gender!?
Fuck diversity training!
I temporarily lost my brakes on an empty water truck on a hill not as bad as this one the other day before I got my air built back up and got it stopped. After that, this video makes me sweat. Oh Jesus. Nothing like an event like that to put your life back into perspective.
I worked on a logging crew for about 5 years and had a few close calls. I know how you feel. I'm glad you were okay.
Awesome very resposible driving and recording!
Holy fuck,ol mate was driving AND filming at the same time!!.....skill!!!!!!!
Holy smokes! I'd be hesitant to drive up that in a pickup truck.
I was expecting you to fall off the cliff. but then I was so far into it I'm like wow this guy can drive. thumbs up
The driving and the truck are impressive. At the same time, it hurts to see such a verdant forest totally scarred and denuded
Wow scary just watching, you’re a true professional.
