Sounds awesome to me. I’ve always wanted to be a part of a real logging operation. Get exposed to some new iron, a new twist on trucking I haven’t done yet. What’s the going rate up there....?

Air shift 5x4 is unforgiving on shifts, be gentle with it and will last a long time, get frisky and excited will cost a lot to fix.

Yah-get out of Oklahoma go where the trees and mountains are. The smell of fir trees in the early morning is hard to beat.

It is interesting seeing how everywhere does stuff. Probably half the dump trucks on the road here use two steering axles but those look very close together. I have never seen drop axles like that around here. What does that allow you to weigh in at?
