Question about Log Truck Drivers.

[Mike270412]

I really miss the logging except that part

I agree. Night time is for sleeping.

Ah download that app and log into snow and mud.
Pictures are 100x easier.
I don't think I have logged into the actual site for a few years now.

How much you allowed on a tri? Is that on private roads or you go down the hiway like that?

80,500 is my allowable off highway. Can go to 82,000 without penalty but at 82001 it's a fine and I don't get paid for the extra 1500.

Forgot about my little friend that hangs around

Wow! That's a lot on 7 axles. Only 17000 more than a hiway super B.

Mikey meant 17000 LESS then a super B...

 

[TROLLCAT]

In the late 80's a buddy used to run what they called a short logger right from the landing where they were harvested the logs on the side of the mountain into Stewart

I help him chain up triples on both drive axles and a set of singles on the front axle of the trailer

Get loaded up

Then I watched him smoke a cigarette give his little dog a treat (doggy was pissed I was in his seat)and use a jake brake,transmission retarter, trailer brake handle, brake pedal and sometime the accelerator as we came down the side of the mountain going back and forth on switch backs

think about it now and still freaks me out

 

[TROLLCAT]

[Mike270412]

Last I checked a super B on the hiway is max 63'500. You farmers probably just load those hoppers till it runs over the sides.

Can haul somewhere around 100000 on a super B. I'm no expert though. I don't drive them, just load them

 

[Trukker]

Super B 63500 kg Gross so around 92000 lbs payload . Tri axle your allowed 24000 kg on the tri so if you go Tri /Tri / steering 53500 kgs on highway 118000 lbs gross roughly so payload around 82000 lbs
