A Hauling Logistics Pilot Plan to Enhance the Strength and Vitality of the Nation’s Timber Harvesting/Hauling Network
The project team was tasked with identifying a wood basket for an “open platform” Timber Hauling Pilot with suitable willing participants in the form of logger/suppliers and mills owned by the project’s Sponsors. The key concept underlying the “open platform” Pilot was to expand the network of a timber truck’s activity beyond a single logging crew and, thereby, increase truck utilization by making spare haulage capacity available to crews that are short of trucks.
