I know the old log truck is hard to drive but

This is ridiculous. There is a log stuck under the thing and I cannot get it out. I have called tow truck multiple times and the log gets towed also. It moves a few feet and gets stuck, jumps and front wheels are levitating of of the pavement. Visualize how it is in the forest. It moves further in reverse but is next to impossible to steer. I cannot reach it to pull it out by hand.

I don't know if it is possible to drive the vehicle to the lumber mill complex & sell the log??

One thing that often causes this issue, is that players are not waiting for the logs to fully attach to the vehicle from the loading claw. There is a bit of quasi-connectivity issue, that there is a little bit of time that the game takes to see that the log is not in the claw anymore, & then fully attached to the vehicle's bed.

If you watch the claw when you drop the log into the vehicles bed, after a second or two, the claw opens. It is at this time that the log is now properly attached to the vehicle, & not in the quasi-floating state.

I have noticed that and tried to keep my eye on how long I wait before moving. I am thinking it was as issue of driving around looking to clean up logs I missed and rolled over it. When you are tired it seems the engineers vision doesn't work as well so I do run over "lost" logs looking for them. This forest I was working on has a hill close to a sandy road and the old log truck was having some trouble with traction. Why anyone would design this vehicle to hold that much weight on the rear and only have 2 wheel drive in the front...silly, that's one reason it drives bad.

Driving the thing to the lumber yard in this condition will not be easy. I will not drive it back. I will drive it into the river and leave it if it cannot be sold.

Thanks!
Not a fun drive but it worked. It reminded of when I drove my grandfathers '50 ish truck across the 24 mile Causeway with no steering column bearing and a flat right front.

I bet that was a challenge indeed.

So far all I have had to do in this situation is jump out and pick the log up by hand. Hope I don't have to drive all the way to the mill lol

I found out that if I take another log trailer, I could drive up next to the screwed up one and pick the stuck logs off of it, and free it up to continue on without problems.

It drives beautiful and I was enjoying using it. A falling tree fell on it so I cleaned the tree and cut it. Soon as I got in the logger this happened. Maybe a portal, kinda funny but it won't tow. I will have to load up a save.

Man.. that saved it for me!!
My Old Log Transporter was somehow pierced through the cabin, from a sliding log ..almost impossible to maneuver any sharp turns ..managed to get down to the lumbermill and sell the curse...!
