  • Lode King Updates Renown Western Quad For 2022

    Lode King’s Renown series combines the strength of steel with the low maintenance and weight advantages of aluminum to form a lightweight and sturdy trailer. These trailers are recognized as some of the best combo trailers on the road today.

    Lode King Updates Renown Western Quad For 2022


    The Renown series of trailers has been on the market for many years. With some refinements, this trailer is now more user-friendly, lighter in weight, reduced in height, and is  now available with our JP Rail.
    The updated 102″ wide deck provides more room to carry loads of plywood or drywall in varying sizes. It will eliminate exposure to the elements because the product won’t protrude over the trailer’s edges.

  • Kenny’s Loggin’ – My Thirteenth Summer: Lessons In Logging

    School was out for the summer and I wasn’t doing much, Mother had asked me to do a chore, which I wasn’t too interested in doing, so I told her to do it herself.

    Kenny's Loggin - My Thirteenth Summer: Lessons In Logging

    Next thing I know she’s standing there with a wooden spoon in her hand. “Don’t talk back to your Mother,” she said as she tried to spank me. I grabbed the spoon and threw it on the floor. She paused and then headed up stairs. I’m thinking this was a “wait until your father gets home” moment. It was pretty quiet at the supper table that night. Nothing was said, but the next morning at six, Dad said to me, “Get up, you’re coming with me.” Dad was foreman for Norie Bros. Logging at Elk Bay.

  • Drive Like A Girl

    It’s A Man’s World… and Now a Lady’s, Too? Story & Photos By Ronald Mullins

    The over-the-road (OTR) or long-haul trucking industry has long been glamourized by Hollywood with movies like Convoy, Duel and, for those old enough, who can forget Burt Reynolds, Sally Field and Jerry Reed in Smokey and the Bandit. 

    Not to be out done; the music industry has added its share of colour as well with songs like On The Road Again, Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses, Drivin’ My Life Away and the giant Alabama hit Roll On 18 Wheeler. But the reality of the industry may be somewhat different today.
