Lumber hauling off road may actually be one of the easier applications because the road is usually dedicated to trucking. Logging trucks already assume they can blast along at full speed because if you use a logging road, you’re supposed to radio your position via CB to ensure the trucks know where you are and don’t hit you.
- ska 7y agoIIRC there are already some analogous uses in mining - there the track following is a bit easier, but has similar dedicated use simplification.

- ttul 7y agoThis is true, but nonetheless you’re supposed to carry a CB. On Canadian logging roads, this is not something they take lightly - at least on the signage!
