Former Log Truck Driver Finds NEW Profession :-)

The log truck driver from my last post was encouraged by the owner of the logging company to perhaps look for a different line of work. He took his former boss a little too literally and thought he meant he should still do something involving Power Lines....Since he enjoyed cutting things down so much, he thought of the perfect alternative! A win-win job - He gets to be dangerously close to power lines AND cut stuff down!

How To Hot-Wire A Logging Truck......


This happened Wednesday, July 23rd 2008, in Mill Creek , WA .
The driver was attempting to throw the logging cable over the logs to secure them.
As you can see, he hooked the electric line instead! He said the tires began to fry within seconds.
Very lucky man, he could easily have been fried himself!

(You might say the truck was "hot wired".....
7200 volts direct to ground!)
