I remember this truck! It belonged to Paul Heidenreich and he brought it to BC from an auction in Alberta. It hauled 13 loads of alder off our property as it's first job. I haven't seen it around in quite some time, where did you find it?

 

[SPMiller]

It's getting retired soon, could be already. Dorman's timber has been using it in and around Harrison/Chehalis.

Here in the Lake States (WI and UP/ Northern LP of MI particularly) for whatever reason self loading trucks have been the rule for as long as I have been alive. There are some loaderless trucks (almost always semi trailer type), but they are in the minority. Typically the only loaders on a job are either on a slasher or a forwarder, neither of which is well-suited for loading trucks, or has the time to do it. The majority of wood is cut into 8' (100" actually) lengths. The most common setup is straight truck + pup, though semi trailers with mid-mounted loaders can be found as well. I'm having trouble attaching pics, but the following links show some typical Michigan setups- because of MI's weight laws, set back front axles and 11 axles on the truck/trailer combo is the norm as it allows ~164k gvw if I recall correctly.
