RCP57 is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway

Haha, One of our friends is a driver. He has a bumper sticker on the rad guard that says "As a matter of fact I do own the road". Very fitting I think. I believe the trucks were designed to carry 100+ tons of logs but of course when conditions are good and the roads aren't too steep they load on a lot more. Most of the places they are logging now have some nasty grades with a lot of switchbacks so the loads are more moderate like in the video. Even with a smaller load there is close to 3 highway truck loads on there! Very cool trucks in person.

I like this video on YouTube....http://youtu.be/7UHChCRe6hI?list=FLr...tJ-DusnO8Onw7A These trucks are the real deal!
