Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson visits Whiteside Logging located in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Scott Whiteside, 45, is very self-aware. During his meeting with Southern Loggin’ Times he mentions often that his crew is small; but he’s got strong ties to the mills in his area and pushes out a good amount of wood, with mostly newer equipment. He might be small, but he is mighty. Mighty is the perfect word to describe the Whiteside job site, as it’s nestled in the mountains of North Carolina, with a Timberking track cutter and two skidders going at all times. The steep ground doesn’t present Whiteside with a debilitating challenge; instead he looks at it like a challenge to conquer. Except when it rains. When it rains in these mountains, especially in the winter, the crew takes a few days to recover.
