On May 28, 2009 you may have noticed that the Forum was in maintenance mode for quite a while. Well it is a long story. But I won't bore you with all the details. The short of it is that I needed to apply an upgrade to the Forum software and there was a bug in the process. After trying many different methods to get it to work, I gave up and put the Forum back online.

Then today (May 29, 2009), I did some more research and found a workaround for the "bug". Now the Forum if properly upgraded and things appear to be okay again.

Thank you for your patience.

I do get Log Trucker but after I read them I give them to a co-worker who is a logger on the side.
I should have kept them!

Took my camera to work and looked at 15 or so trucks and this was the most popular, on the right ride of cab guard.  Since wrappers are on the left side which are used every trip.  This time of year there are no clean trucks since there is snow where they log and mud on the way to town hope this helps.

The shovel, axe, spotlamps, etc, exactly what I was looking for.

Do you know what kind of trailer you are thinking about.  I am guessing a 3 axle truck? and around here or B.C.  there are very few 2 axle log trailers for a 5 axle combination, usually 7, a few 6 and 8. If you want pictures just ask.

Here is a [icture of the same truck other side and trailer is loaded showing air lines, scale and light plugs. This truck hauls long logs.



This is a short log hauler.

I know I'm a bit behind on getting these posted so you may not have a use for them anymore but I was at the Freightliner dealer today and figured I'd get these just in case. This set up seems to be the norm in my neck of the woods.













This is a picture of the base of the log bunk on the trailer. Thought it might be somewhat helpful.
