#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)
