Might want to try the N.H. side too!

On that note, down here in Florida a logging truck rear-ended a car this morning outside of Palm Coast and the truck flipped over, car blew up and the driver of the car was killed!

 

Our local logging company, requires 6 years minimum experience !!!!

YMMV.........

 

You will have to invest another 120 hours of your time to be road worthy again in a trucking school.

 

Things are different in VT, there's plenty of company's that will hire you with little to no experience.

Running log trucks is not as easy as it looks- you have to be wary all the time, they tend to be top heavy when loaded, and logging roads are the worst roads you are ever likely to drive on. Think no guard rails, no pavement, and LOTS of mud. We generally pray for cold weather because it makes it so much easier. Just something to keep in mind- it's not like running around with a van, thats for sure!

 

Driving in the states of VT, NH and ME isn't for everybody, but its a good place to learn, you have steep grades, crappy weather and traffic, ask most truckers and they will tell you they don't want nothing to do with the east coast.

 

A pumpkin for a peaker? If there's 1 thing a logger can do is throw that Iron, several times a day.
