    It's not just the amazing thought of a 70,000 lb semi truck loaded with logs coming off that mountain down a steep narrow winding road. But having worked in logging, don't forget the men and machines that spent all that time busting that rock and pushing that dirt that build they road all the way up the side of that mountain. Having built roads like this I know about the risks and dangers and thrill of being on the side of a mountain riding on the edge pushing dirt and rock building a road where there wasn't one before. Great video guys great work by people who deserve more gratitude and thanks.

      Carlos - I just did a round trip from Houston to Boise , ID to get a 1931 Ford Roadster with my F-250 and a single car hauler. I left the Houston area on Christmas day and from Albuquerque to Boise, through the mountain passes in Utah, more snow than I've ever seen in my life! Thank GOD for snow plows!!!! It was slow goin', white-knuckles all the way. I made it safely back home but I think I have PTSD from driving those icy, snow-covered mountain roads - it scared me to death. I can only imagine what stories you could tell about driving in those conditions to Seattle.

The quickest way to become a hometown hero is to do a stint in the military. Then your whole family can roll around with bumper stickers proclaiming “My Nephew is a Marine” or “Navy Wife” etc. So they can harp about sacrifice and think *they’re* heros too in by association.
      A soldier dying on the battlefield is an unlucky stiff who rolled the dice and lost. Nobody gets deployed to war knowing they won’t come home, it’s a gamble. Actually the military is a pretty cushy gig for the most part.
      Police, firefighters, EMS, military, it’s all just a job man. People do it for their own satisfaction, not for being selfless - which they definitely aren’t.

    That brought back memories! Hauled logs in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. Drove a Pete and later one of the first T800 KW's. Took a lot of flack about the "ant eater" but sure could see the woods roads better! I pulled a pup the last several years. Good to see a truck with stake extensions! We used gun barrels. Heavy!

    Truck drivers are pretty damn amazing. When I was on my first long trip on my own and driving through the night, the truckers would flash their lights when I would pass them so i would know when I could turn back into their lane ahead of them-- I was driving a Honda Accord, and they usually only do that for other trucks. Not sure why they did it, but as a young driver, I appreciated it. Another time (still very young), I fell asleep while driving (daytime) and I thought I dreamed that I saw a kid in the middle of the fwy, so I swerved, the trucker next to me must have been keeping an eye on me because he swerved too and avoided a collision. I pulled over at the next exist and got some much needed rest, and I was grateful to that driver.

No excitement as of yet. But throw in the aforementioned information, OK then we have trucking! All in all though, it does bring back some pretty fond memories of the good old days. If you want to add a little bit of pucker power to your winter time trucking, hearing the clunk clunk as the axles are locking up with two sets will do it.
