Hey Digger ! ….. Glad to see a couple of Familiar names here (your's and willie) …… gotta warn you tho …. "I Double Park" …. gotta make room while the gett'ns Good ….. old habits Die Hard ….LOL
Well it's time to Start Rolling the Dice !
My Name is Gary …… I started back in the Late '70s …. Under Powered and noisey Cabover Cornbinders, 45' hi-boys, Lumber down and what ever back …. we ran alot of double miles all over the country …. including Stateside ….. seen lots of country ….. Then there was the Logging Off Hwy 70+tonne loads with 5&6 axle configuration to 53 tonne legal long loads on Hwy all with the same Truck ….. In some of the worst Country imaginable in North Western BC …... Rain, Sun, MUD, and Snow ….LOTS & LOTS of Snow and Ice and chaining up all axles at times …… then logging collapsed in the beginning of the '90s and back to Hwy hauling, mostly Super-B trains (8-axle) 63,500 Kgs 25 meters long (140,000 #'s , 82' long)…..all over BC & Alta. ….. Then it was back to Logs and we also did a fair amount of Low Bedding, mostly in the winter and made the Truck versatile by quick switching to a 16'-6 Hi-lift Dump Box c/w a tandem axled Pony Dumping trailer the rest of the Year doing Excavations and bulk material hauling of all sorts ………
Got permanently out out the Logging in '99 and stayed with the Dump set-up got rid of the Pony and got a new Trail-King TKT 40 tilt deck for the Excavator on Back.
