| #17. Four Wheel Drive Duplex
These trucks ran on "fore and aft" roads made of logs laid end to end
The braking system wasn't great and it was difficult keeping the truck on the track - when it was frosty the track became very slippery and the driver had to fight to keep the wheels on the track
There was little protection from the bigger logs shifting and endangering the driver
Their wage was about $2.80 per day (somewhere around the 1920's)
