Report
Ariving at D R JOHNSON in the mid afternoon, the log yard is nearly full of inbound logs on the scale pad. The lift operators and shuttle/sort machines are very busy, but also efficient. Minimal wait times, so unloading there is usually comparable to most other mills. The staff is friendly, while maintaining a safe environment to efficiently manage the tasks before them. It is not always a peach to be there either, there are times when they get flooded with inbound loads and the wait time increases. An industry wide shortfall. Overall, I will say that the staff does the best they can with what they have to deal with.
