A short log truck driver with 25 years’ experience had his trailer spill 1 kilometre south of Beaverdell on Highway 33. The location of the incident was on a straight stretch of road. The weather was clear and the road was dry.
A log came off a loaded logging truck and was suspended by the binders outside the stakes. To remove the log, the rigging charge hand decided to buck the log to free it from the load.
An employee parked a vehicle at the back end of a block where the company had been decking wood since road restrictions were imposed in February. He went for a short (20 minute) walk down to an area that had recently been skidded and then back to the truck.
