Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell travels to Eastman, Georgia to visit Callier Logging and Twin Rivers Land and Timber. As the pulpwood markets in Georgia continue to leave many loggers on quota, those contractors are left wondering when or if they’ll get back to full speed. While some continue to weather the storm, others have had to find new opportunities in order to survive. Take Callier Logging for example. They’ve been around for 47 years, but the past two years have been a real struggle for the business as their primary markets have been extremely tight. Some days they were able to haul nine loads, but other days they could only bring in five. The logging industry has always been marked by uncertainty and sometimes you just have to go with the flow, but when you’re only able to bring in five loads in a workday, that’s the kind of uncertainty that can’t be tolerated.
