During the 1920s, several logging camps in Loughborough Inlet were among the first to use trucks for hauling logs to tidewater. G.W. Taylor, in the “Early Days of Truck Logging,” states: “At the North Pacific Logging operations on Loughborough Inlet, three White trucks with a gang of 55 men were hauling logs from a mountainside one and a half miles to tidewater. This was an all out motor show, hauling some 100, 000ft. per day. In one record month, 2,000,000ft. were moved. Upkeep was very light, and in the year’s operation, no major repairs had been required ...The hewn timber road used by the North Pacific on Loughbrough Inlet required very little upkeep, and in most cases, was cheaper to build than any other.”
