It's those darn bicycle people. Getch ya every chance they can

Cool stuff. That log truck is awesome, I love when its on the channel.

That was close to the pole. Great video I love watching the work you do. The log truck is cool with the trailer that can collapse to fit short logs. Love seeing the 5500 doing work no matter what that is. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

I appreciate that bit at the end where you were talking about the proper legalities of doing this kind of business. You put it in a way that was easy to digest.

I am a Otr driver and I live in Las Vegas And I love watching your channel! I take loads by southern cali all the time.

Good video Sam the mountain loin was like ah crap a camera run away just like big foot. Love watching the 5500 getting the job done with ease. Love the work yinz do keep it up.

Excellent video, always entertaining. 👍🏻 Gotta watch those bicycle riders. 😆

Amen brother about the cycles. They don't pay anything but think they own the road .

Great video and like your truck and trailer set up.

Another stellar video nicely done man

Love the channel. And 100% agree on bicycles.

dammit your videos are soo freaking good!

Hard working you got the best videos

Great video and explanation

Nice, couldn't explain it any better

Great video man 😎👌👍

Sam another great video, make that money where you can. Love to see people out there working as hard as you and VBelt do. America !!!!!!

In my home state of Wisconsin they've told me that if I'm just hauling here and there and it's not a primary source not income then it's not considered commercial.

Keep up the good work Sam

Great video’s, Sam

There's an annual bike race here in my area that is very rural. One year, a neighbor ran his herd of cattle down the road the night before the race so that the road would have a fresh coat of manure.

I saw the mountain lion and great video

Cool video 👍

DOT cops told me to get magnetic stickers. When I'm commercial put them on when just driving around take them off. I keep all my trucks in my personal name not my company name. They did tell me if they see me with a skid steer on back pulling into a job site, they know I'm working for hire. I own several semis, I just don't want to fill out a log book for rest of my life and deal with there 11 hour work day crap.

13:00 situations like that backing into a right hand corner, definitely has me thinking about spending $500 on a quadcopter with live camera feed and GPS autopilot

here where i live bicycles have to be on the side of oncoming traffic so that they see cars and cars see them .. but i agree with you for sure

100 percent agreed with the bicycle nonsense.....

I wish they made that 2wd low ranger kit for are trucks. I am not sure what year truck it works on

I agree, bikes on the road are a pain in the ass

Ever though of doing a 4th gen dash swap on one of your 2nd gen If so would u take is along step by step ???

I have a friend of the family that buys property logs it out then resells it , I don’t get much for helpin him but it’s good money for the weekend... mostly cedar and pine so yeah 😑😬👀

Thank you for the comments about the bike riders! I have the exact same sentiments. Just cant understand why they feel they have right of way. Terrible attitude. Puts everyones life at risk.

I have noticed in the past couple videos you have been mentioning the word Ford a couple of times. Makes me wonder what is in the works for VBelt and Son. 🤔

As long as you teach your brain to realize that equipment is in a different pattern you can run it just fine. The gradalls I run at work are in JD pattern but everything else is excavator.

The bike stuff depends on state. In ohio your allowed to be on the road as much as vehicles. But im the type of rider to get the hell outta large trucks way. Personally i find it a respect issue

Lots of bike riders around my area, and they love claiming they have just as much right to the road as cars but they ignore the traffic rules constantly.

Having been in the logging woods for last ten years I bet money that load was 18,000 maybe more

Wow tight fit on the entrance. I would have tag the pole. Lol. Stay safe.

California do have some pretty forest land

Question I'm in mn and plan to possibly start a skidsteer mulching business and at the end of the video you were you were talking about dot and not the for hire sticker. how would that work for me if I was to do a business and have my logo of the company on my truck but a not for hire sticker on the trailer ?

Like the vidjas man. Instead of at 3RD gen. It b cool to see a old long bed Dodge with a 12v haulin a load of logs... When ya gonna git a 1st gen and build it and make it sumthin nobody else has or seen lol

Totally understand the frustration with Cyclists. Out here in Colorado, I cant imagine pulling a trailer like that on a nice day. There are so many wanna be pro cyclists out here that on a day like that you simply cant get anywhere in the mountains in any reasonable amount of time. Drive for an hour you will run into 100+ cyclists outside boulder. With so many blind curves, you simply have no choice but to dang near stop behind a bunch of these guys decked out in spandex. That frustration is without even considering the ones that blow around a blind corner way too fast crossing into the other lane and oncoming traffic then be pissed cause a car was coming in that lane. Or the ones that blow through red lights and stop signs without even so much as a glance for their surroundings. Some of the roads out here are just a perpetual cycling competitions with no winners from spring to fall.

Why didn’t the logging truck bring his trailer? Good show sir. 👍

I prefer to just run them over and let the hungry moutain lions get em.

7:59 The cyclists are increasingly dangerous these days. They seem to pick roads with no shoulder to ride on. About 2 years ago when I still lived in San Diego I nearly ran into a 12 year old kid who was riding with his idiot father coming around a blind curve. With oncoming traffic I had to get hard on the brakes to avoid hitting them. This was in the car. If I was in a loaded truck like you no way could I have stopped in time. That road was the choice spot for cyclists because they thought it was scenic. There are trails and bike lanes all over San Diego County built using taxpayer money. I rarely saw anyone riding on those, just dozens of them riding down the winding 2 lane road with no shoulder. These guys have more of a death wish than the bikers IMO. You hear about one of them going up over someone's hood about once a week when the weather's nice, which is most of the time down there.

Friggin hippies probably hate you because they see dead trees going down the road

Couldn't agree more with the cyclist, my theory is if there are no bike lanes then don't go down that road! Most of the time where I haul trailers there is no shoulder.

If you are hauling for hire, why do you have "Not for Hire" tags on the trailer?

Would we be wrong iffin we said YES! ????? We keep having the situation of the "Local Cycling Club" out for a ride, with 20 or so in the group. Two abreast, 100 or so feet sometimes of slow moving cityots. (Or is it citiodts?) Regardless, on main roads, paved yes, but also prone to high Agricultural equipment, Hiway transport and even horse and buggy traffic. Correct, the best of all worlds. Then along come these damn cyclists, that believe they are the supreme beings of the road. And hitting them just isn't rewarding enough. (They're only worth like ten points a piece. Not like a fox, hit one, 25 points.) (Just kidding snowflakes.)
