B&M (still going) Filla (don't know) Fred B Moe (no longer) Castle Rock Stihl (did they go to Alaska?) all used to work on our forest.
Fred B Moe was a big logging outfit and they could move logs. One unit had 2 yarders set up and you had to be on your toes, paying attention to where you were and where the lines were.
They were the outfit who had a bunch of trucks hauling over "the hill" from the Trout Lake area. On the day the weigh cops came here for their annual weighing, all the Moe trucks mysteriously broke down. They were strung out along their route--parked.
I think the cops went into the woods and started weighing the "broke down" trucks.
Sounds like you knew Moe alright.I worked for Moe for three days. Quit the first day but told them I would stick it out until the end of the week if they wanted. Started on a wednesday.
That outfit had the junkiest most brokedown equipment. I'd heard stories but it was worse then I could imagine. No riggin either. First day I had to cut up some chokers to make straps.
Just to give you an idea they had two sides close together and four two seater PUs to haul the crew. Out of the four ours was the only one that had a door that would open from the outside, back drivers side. The rest you had to leave a window open to get in.
They used to run their good trucks at Morton and when they got run off the road up there they would send the to the Harbor until they run them off there. Then they went to the Clearwater and went from the woods to sorting yard, all off highway.
I was working for another outfit on the Clearwater and everyday we would see a Moe crewbus headed to work, No windshield and it was winter:msp_ohmy:
