SORTING IT OUT: Running a log sort can be challenging, especiallg when you have almost 100 differet sorts and complex market requirements

摘要

Don McMillan sees a huge volume of logs pass by his office window every day. When asked about specifics, he comes back with a number that is well north of 3,000 cubic metres and anywhere from 80 to 90 tmckloads on a 14-hour shift. For McMillan, thesefigures are a positive sign. His company has the contract to operate the North Island Log Sort on northern Vancouver Island for Timber-West, which is Western Canada's largest private timber and land management company. And big volumes of logs entering the sort, typically means things are moving in the right direction for McMillan, his partner Hugh Anderson, their crew, and TimberWest.
