Owner-op’s 1998 Peterbilt 379 moves logging equipment
An owner-operator used a 1998 Peterbilt 379 to move logging equipment, putting an older, well-known long-nose model to work on a specialized haul.
The move highlights a common reality in the logging and woods-work side of the industry: equipment moves are often handled by independent drivers running proven trucks, matched with the right trailer and securement for heavy, irregular loads.
Moves involving logging equipment matter because they help keep timber operations running on schedule. When machinery has to be repositioned between landings, mills, or job sites, transportation becomes a critical link between the woods and the rest of the supply chain.
With limited details provided beyond the truck, year, and cargo type, the key takeaway is straightforward: a working owner-operator and a classic 379 were used for a logging-equipment move, reflecting the continued role of independents and older equipment in specialized freight.
