Load of Logs

[barbender]

I think that once again Poston was helping someone dump the load off of their truck by lifting the front with his backhoe, they forgot to take the straps off though ;D

Driver needs to eat more grits. If he was somewhere where the load should be dropped I'd say he just forgot to unstrap the load.The older members here will remember how they used to deliver lumber,back of the load on a roller, unstrap, back up fast,load shifts, front of truck skyward.You pull out easy and grab the steering wheel with a death grip and bam your unloaded.Now they have hydraulics or a moffet.

Not sure if it really works for logs, but maybe a way to partially debark. this is how we actually would unload damaged or non running tanks in the Army. ramps up, tank unchained, reverse to about 15 mph and hit the skids. thing would roll back and flip the ramps down with a bang, and roll right off. we called it the combat unload. Never did it with an officer around though.

Maybe the photographer just has an incredibly fast shutter speed and the driver is so good at hauling logs , he's just doing a wheelie for the fun of it on his way out to the mill 8)

He might get great life out of the front tires but the mud flaps don't last long.
He might be acting like some of those guys you see on bikes doing wheelies through town.

Keeps them from running away while inside having tea....

[terrifictimbersllc]

[Monte Pittman]

This is a guy who shouldn't be running power tools. Grit your teeth and make an extra trip.

We used to have that happen now and again to our end dump drivers. They would be hauling removals, and if there was a large rock or slab of concrete occasionally they would hang up on the tailgate. Wheelie time! One fella that was quite a card, he got tipped up so high that he was just looking at the sky, he couldn't even get out so he calmly read a magazine and waited for us to come get him :D

I've had the tailgate fail to open on a ten wheeler before.

Ah, a reclining seat.  Time for a nap.
