Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Monticello, Arkansas’ F&F Trucking & Timber, LLC. Nick Frost, 35, started working in the woods 10 years ago when he took a job for his uncle, Joe Frost. Prior, he had worked in other industries. Despite having grown up around logging—his father, Jimmy Frost, Joe’s brother, now retired—it  wasn’t Nick’s immediate choice of career path. “All my family logged,” he recalls. “I did auto body work for a few years and I worked construction, welding pipe fittings at power plants and paper mills.” He was on such a power plant job, working in Auburn, Ala., when he decided it was time for a change. “I had been gone 11 months. My daughter was growing up and I was gone all the time. So I decided to come home and work for Joe to be closer to family.” After that, there was no turning back.
