Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Monticello, Arkansas’ C&L Wood Company, Inc. Pardon the pun, but Joe Frost is one cool customer—at least he is these days. The owner of C&L Wood Co., Inc., Frost, 60, is a self-professed workaholic. “I’ve never been an addict but when I get there in those woods, it is like an addict getting a fix, I guess,” he explains. “I get up at 3 every morning, leave at 3:15, drive 70 miles and I’m sitting on my loader no later than 5 a.m.” Not much can keep him off the job. For instance, after a big rain kept most other area loggers out of the woods in early December, Frost just took to his dozer to repair the roads and kept the job humming along. A bit more traumatic than a heavy rain, though, was the heart attack Frost survived in October 2016. He wasn’t able to get back in the woods as quickly as he would have liked (though he did go back earlier than his doctor would have liked, perhaps).
