This heavy transport truck is shown from the side, revealing its front cab, sturdy chassis, and an empty bed bordered by tall vertical stakes.

Securing Massive Loads of Wood

Log trucks play a vital role in the forestry industry by hauling harvested timber from forest landings to lumber mills or paper plants. The tall steel stakes positioned along the edges of the bed keep long tree trunks securely stacked in place during transit. Chains or heavy ratchet straps are pulled tightly across the top of the timber pile to prevent shifting on winding mountain roads.
