Pretty cool they're starting to do factory lumber haulers, dumptrucks, and not just 5th wheel trucks

It took them long enough to FINALLY start doing these things!

is that a real euro truck thing? carrying logs like that. not my style.

i'd like to see kits that you can add to the back of your current chassis (just like the real thing) with choices like dump, log carrier, cement mixer, flatbed, etc.. that would sell a ton of kits if they can keep the price down.. haha

It's real! Here in Washington State, we use that, but on a Kenworth, or Peterbilt truck. We use them to haul the waste logs. By waste logs, I mean anything smaller than a 4 inch top. Logs below a 4 inch top the sawmills do not take. The mills aren't set up to cut anything smaller than the 4 inch top. Anything below 4 inch tops down to 2 inch tops gets trucked to the pulp mills to make paper. The unit would have a trailer towed behind it with the same bunk configuration on it. We call then Mule Trains, or short loggers.

i've seen them in the states/ canada, didn't realize they did the same thing euro wise

a quick google image search brings them up though. even saw one with a crane on a trailer with more log bunks
