Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott spends some time with S&T Construction, LLC in Abingdon, Virginia. From its home base in southwestern Virginia, trucking company S&T Construction, LLC operates in multiple adjacent and nearby states, including primarily North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia. “Sometimes we venture beyond, but that is our main circle,” says owner Ray Sullivan, 47. “We try to stay within a 100-mile radius of home base.” Hauling logs across state lines can be tricky, but Sullivan is adamant about maintaining legal status in any state in which his trucks operate. To stay on top of it, he keeps a copy the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Interstate Truck Drivers Guide to Hours of Service and all other relevant rule books and guidelines in his pickup with him at all times.
