Oh OK, you're talking about logging public timber.

A log truck hauls about 5 MBF and the average BLM or State timber sale price is perhaps $250 per MBF for average Doug=fir saw logs. How did you figure $4000 a load?

Considering the huge volume of timber Weyco cuts and the amount of forestland they own, 350,000 acres in Lane County alone (more than the State and BLM manage combined) they are not a particularly large local employer.

I was unaware that the Dems controlled the Oregon legislature. I thought it was large corporations.
