MABEN, Miss.The company is called Big B Logging, but I owner Brad Tomlin-son, 50, swears he never 1, meant for it to get quite this big. “I just wanted it to be small: one cutter, one skidder, one loader,” Tomlinson says. Instead, he’s fielding two whole crews.He started the second crew, in part, for his sons Brennan, 24, and Brandon, 23. “I started a second crew because I intended to let them run one crew and me go to the other,” Tomlinson says. But, he admits, he enjoys working on the same crew with them every day. “My biggest joy of every day is getting to do this with them. If it weren’t for my boys I definitelywouldn’t have this much equipment. But I try to teach them, and pass on some of what I have learned from the school of hard knocks.”
