Tough job, not for the faint hearted. These guys are above average in skill and nerves of steel. A dying breed. Thanks to all the loggers and operators out there.
Greg from northern Michigan. Fantastic channel. Grew up in Spokane WA and several of my high school freinds worked in family owned logging companies. Went out a few times with them to see how it was done back in 1970. Pretty tuff work felling trees, skidding logs, bucking them by hand, and loading single logs at a time. The scariest job by far was driving the fullly loaded logging trucks down steep grades on freshly built roads. Many of these jobs have been made much safer with tree harvestors, feller buncher, forwarders, knuckleboom loaders, etc. All except for what you do ... Transport the logs to the mill. Thanks for letting others see what's involved here. Hats off to you and your family.

Really enjoyed the 'real sounds' of logging: diesel truck, loader, clanking noises, etc: Thank you camera woman for not spoiling the serenity of journey by needless chatter. Back in the day 1969 when i was a kid age 20, drove a smaller logging truck than this (about 40% capacity of this outfit). (I don't miss having to chain up anymore, by the way). It is always nice to make the first tracks on the road through fresh snow!
There is the definition of “truck driver” Nothing scares me more as a truck driver than cold freezing snowy winter weather days and nights in complete isolation in these remote uncivilized loading areas. And 14 hours on the clock? I assume the camera lady is his wife and I’m happy for him having her there with him, I’ve done a fair share of trucking in my life in remote areas like this in southern United States and been there alone is not the best feeling having someone like your other half just to witness of what we have to go through in trucking I think is the only thing you wish for in those moments. I salute this man for his hard work as human…
well done ,I remember 55 years ago traveling through BC and seeing a huge logging truck and I mean huge carrying only one stick the size of bulk tanker , I never forgot that I was so impressed, never seen sticks that big in the Yukon
Wow … giữa cái rét đông buốt giá mà con người ta vẫn làm việc ngoài trời thì thật là đáng ngưỡng mộ . Chúc các Bạn trẻ đang làm việc ngoài trời luôn may mắn , thành công , vui khỏe và hạnh phúc nhiều nhé .
All of m'y respect to you my friend!!! Grew up around a family mill in Qc. My father hauled logs for many years... On a much smaller scale, i do logging in winter and run a small sawmill the rest of the year. You boys are to me some of the hardest and tough men !!!
And that my friends is truly trucking. The way it used to be done, you don't see everything. Lowcool onions, stoolit is big peat. He's setting up paying attention. And this is from a 90-year-old trucker. It used to do it that way good job my man
Hello my dear friend, watching the white snow falling, covering the whole car, it's extremely cold here, my friend. Like and wish my friend good health.❤❤
I drive a semi log truck an trailer every day hauling logs out of the deep woods in all kinds of weather ice mudd etc to the mills put in 15 to 18 hours a day sometimes gets dangerous

Hi there,thank you for watching!Don’t worry about english as long as you can say and express it from your heart.Spanish Filipino here married to a Canadian,I write and speak english but it’s not perfect it doesn’t matter.Welcome to our youtube channel!❤️
Good job showing the stamp hammer. I have a whole collection of those same ones I even have my own timber mark, but remember, don’t mash your finger with that steel handle…. in a future video, you should get your hubby to let you try stamping the logs…. Super fun, trust me 😊
First time viewer to your channel... Loved the ride up the hill the first thing in the morning, it was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your world with us.
Wow very beautifully captured in such crystal clear colors and sound . I can here that peterbilts engine from from start up . The turbo sound so awesome . Anyway I'm not a log truck driver nor have i ever hauled anything like that on ice and snow. I am a logger however and a driver and I know 2:30am with 13 hours left to go before I can go home and 13 gears behind Cummins engine and the sound of a turbo charger all day ..I'm the water truck driver lol.. but I only know a few people skilled and brave enough to do what you're doing and one is my mom . She has been driving truck for 45 years and started out hauling lumber eventually ended up hauling logs and was one 2 drivers back then that was skilled and brave enough to go up the switchback steap narrow unforgiving mountain road in the dead of winter on solid ice . Now getting up to that landing is one thing but hauling that load down that mountain is a complete different story and she would do it faithfully while the other drivers would be to scared . She chain that truck up so many times ..the road she was hauling off one year absolutely amazed me because it was a road that as a four wheel drive enthusiasts I was second guessing going off it and ended up turning around my jeep after only a small amount of snow and ice was present ..then mom tells me where she was hauling that winter and my jaw hit the floor! My hero . She taught me how to shift an 13 and 18 at the dinner table when I started driving water truck where as the guys trying to show me on the truck couldn't. How to adjust brakes with a 9/16th wrench on and on .. she drives truck now for construction company hauling material still getting up at 3am to go . Hell of a woman ..props to you God bless be safe out there .. need more drivers like you.
Il neige beaucoup chez vous. Vous êtes formidable. Beau travail. Bravo. Merci beaucoup d’avoir partagé votre magnifique vidéo. Je vous souhaite le meilleur. À bientôt mon cher ami 42:15👍🍀🥰
Have to put on chains for the icy roads and take them off again to go on the highway - alcohol or methyl hydrate in the air lines so your brakes do not freeze up - up in Squamish , BC the trucks go out at 3am and are hauling 100 Miles each way from the logging past Whistler - 2 trips a day - Hard Work = hot in the summer - freezing in the winter
We get our drivers from our current drivers. $20,000. Bonus placed in escrow acct. if new driver gets a ticket deduct $1000. From drivers acct. If drivers cause accident deduct $5000. From. Acct. so you can see, our drivers are very careful to recommend. One of our drivers had $300,000. In his escrow acct. another lost it all bringing his nephew on board. Nephew walk away from company leaving his uncle hanging😳
Thank you for showing all of us that there are still real men in the world! Thank you for sharing all of this with us. I spent most of my childhood in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. As a kid in the 1970s and '80s, we used to go to several of the local sawmills to get slabwood pine to use as firewood. $5 a pickup truck load back in the day. Many good memories. Also good memories of the woodsman's days in Tupper Lake, where there were many competitions among the different logging trades. Those were the good old days for sure. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. And for a very interesting look into the hard work that keeps our country's moving. Or I think it's Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs that puts it as, "the men and women that make the civilized world possible". So true. Thank you for what you do, and please stay safe.
First of all, friend, thank you for this lovely video. It's a movie. Your life as a log truck driver in the icy mountains is both daring and crucial. Navigating challenging terrains and weather conditions, you play a vital role in transporting logs, contributing to various industries. This 13-hour journey is a testament to your and all loggers' dedication and resilience. Secondly, gaining insights into your profession involves skillful driving and a deep understanding of the surrounding environment, which is fascinating. The risks you are involved in make it a truly courageous undertaking. Yet, you and other drivers are the unsung heroes ensuring the flow of resources and knowledge within all communities. Thirdly, thank you, CoolLifeIsWonderful, and all log truck drivers, for the hard work and commitment. These experiences provide a valuable perspective on the challenges faced, and it's important to recognize and appreciate the efforts of those who take on such demanding roles. Stay safe out there! 🚛❄ Red Cardinal Kitchen
THAT LOOKS COLD. We get some snow here where I work in northern California but nothing like that. And starting my semi at 5am in winter sure makes me appreciate the summer!
Now that's a hard labor. If the truck had liftable axles , then it might not need chains. I for example use chains if there is ice and water on top of it. Very hard working man, i respect that ;)
Great video, I see your company trucks quite often when on Interstate 87 in the Adirondacks as I go to and from work and in the truck stop near our shop. You guys haul some awesome loads. It looks like a really clean operation. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I'M WATCHING YOUR VIDEO HERE IN BRAZIL, THIS WORK IS NOT FOR EVERYONE, AS WE SAY HERE, YOU MUST HAVE BLOOD IN YOUR EYES LOL, CONGRATULATIONS, GOD BLESS YOU
Great Video... Not to "put down" the Ice Road drivers, or Any other OTR (Over The Road) drivers... but they have it pretty easy compared to what these drivers do and have to endure. Great job of videoing this.... without all the "chatter" that you hear in most videos. What part of the Philippines do you come from?.... I have multiple friends who are married to gals/ladies from there. As soon as I saw the last portion of your video, with the food on the table.... I knew right away where you are from. lol : ) I have eaten Many meals prepared by my friends Philipina wives.... Yummmmmmy!! Keep up the great work and cheers to your husband for what he does... from a retired OTR Owner/Operator & driver with nearly 52 years experience. I live in the States, but lived and trucked all over Canada, from Newfoundland to "the Beach" (Vancouver) back in the 1970's and 1980's. I actually took a break from trucking in the mid/late 1970's and moved to Kamloops, and got a job working for the "Head Hunters" machine shop, repairing cracked cylinder heads and engine blocks for diesel engines.... beautiful country out there. This is my first video of yours that I have seen... and I subscribed right away, and "liked" the video, will be looking on your channel to see what other videos there is from you. Salamat sa lahat ng ginawa mo. ; ) Sorry, my Tagalog isn't very good.
Thank you so much!I wanted to comment in Tagalog but the auto translation on my iPhones sucks.😢So that makes me comment in English only.Proud Filipino here❤
I did a ride along with a logging truck based out of Golden around 1986 when I was 25 years old to see if it was the something I wanted to do. Nope. Those guys are crazy and take their life in their hands every time they come down off the mountain in winter or slippery conditions on those crazy unprotected switch backs that get up into the cut blocks. That plus fighting those chains twice a trip. Dangerous, driving in the dark, crazy steep winding roads, long days, after hours or weekend truck maintenance. Special breed.
That bloody pin would never have touched the Tyre if you hadnt been filming ,Thats wils Wild Country up their " had a look on google he he , its great to see that a Few people are still Doing it Old style .Used to love tear assing through the forests in the Snow , My old ERF E series had a Big cam 14 litre "CUMMINS " she could perculate when Required ." giggling to myself here" oh i got the "Private residents dont want any trucks through " Yeah what a pity , Keep up the good work , interesting to watch knowing just exactly how it feels in those conditions good on ya .what motor is in the Pete ?What size Boots on the steer ? 385/425 she seems to" sit up and Beg " at the front Looks the dogs Bollocks .
I'm really amazed by the extreme tough and challenging work this guy is doing in extremely challenging circumstances. Especially the work starting timing, daily work duration of 13 hours continuous skillful oprating such a big Peter Belt log truck transporting 65ton with 44 ton net wood weight on icy roads on mountainous track in snow fall with wind chills then repeated chaining unchaining and wrapping of logs at 54 years age, i am astonished. What a tough guy and equally amazed by the support and company given by his better half. 🫡 Salute
Sir you've chosen a tough life, an yet you make it go so smoothly.😮 what fluid do you use, onto the ends of cable for trailer back lites .?. Glad you have a ' right hand man' to hold the flash light!. ❤😊
@debbiebjorklund3241Hi there,thank you for watching!❤️I don’t have knowledge in trucks or mechanics ,I will let my husband answer your questions when he is not busy at work.Thank you so much for joining our channel,we appreciate it.God bless you!
I'm not a truck driver yet, but I've passed all of my test and about to start schooling for it. I believe the fluid used on the connections is alcohol to help prevent the airlines and air tanks to freeze which will cause brake failure. Not 100% sure thats what it is tho
Love to see when they can unload an entire stack of wood at once, watched a video from Sweden quite cool but he was using those automatic straps that tighten as the load compresses during travel, seems quite handy.
