Got up at 1;30 am, still setting here waiting to go on posted roads. Temps will not go my way! 31 still. Guess I will go back to bed and try again at 4. This is like it was a year or two ago. Weather says its going to get cold but never does !

I know loggers that are pushed out of the woods so the farmer can tap the trees.
I'm trying to get logs in as fast as I can before My road gets posted.

I was surprised coming home tonight I didn't see any orange signs. I like this weather but do feel for the people's jobs it impacts  :-\

We have a sloppy mess in northern MN too, I haven't worked yet this week. It's supposed to cool off over the weekend, hopefully enough to run at night at least.
Too many irons in the fire

Hopefully we have another three weeks ton a month befire weight restrictions hit.
Once they hit we are done, until after breakup, it doesn't matter if we get freezes or not, even on the highways.

I saw only one orange sign in the town of Jay. Just about 15 minutes from me. Passed quite a few more streets but only saw that one.

Keep an eye on some of the global forecasts. Some of the Norwegian global forecasts are fairly accurate.

Logger RK

Roads posted a week ago. Yesterday morning temp was 8 above,this morning 13 above.  :(

coxy

you guys still cant run the roads even in cold temps if they are posted  what happens when you run on posted roads and get stopped even if it cold

coxy

see       there is 1 township  and 1 county road  here  that will post roads but will let you get a permit to haul   they call it a hard ship permit its 10$  if you are a logger or farmer that lives on the road you don't need the permit ::)  I always have the LO state in the contract that I only have x amount of time to cut the logs so I get a permit

Logger RK

Are local Town didn't post roads till about 10 years ago. A New Guy logger with new equipment was pushing the limits on when he'd haul. He ended up getting a chip load stuck in the middle of a Town dirt road. Needless to say,all Town Roads are posted when The County does after that.  And he's out of bussiness. His Father Inlaw told Me,he said he was just a aggressive logger. I have a different opinion of what kind of logger he WAS

Some Towns around here will absolutely not let you run once the roads are posted. Others, after a nice conversation with the highway super, might let you run in the morning if the overnight temps are in the teens but it is at your own risk, damage the road and you are responsible.
