I take it all back 36 holds up to its reputation of the most wrecks on any highway in Humboldt co

Chalk up another win for Hwy 36!!! This just further confirms my theory of their being a CDL in every box of Cracker Jack, as the “Toy Surprise”!!!

I agree, almost 22yrs on hwy 36, I live in a marked 45mph zone, NOT MANY drivers go 45. Cafe racer bikes…85% are speeding, some over 80, people still pass on double yellow, totally unsafe here! Risking OTHER PEOPLES LIVES, drivers and residents as the crash ends up in someones yard/house.

I agree also after 30 + years living on this road, I have seen some unbelievable, stupidly insane, maneuvers that would curl your hair, or if it already was curly it would be straightened before long!!! Just attempting to drive this road safely becomes a challenge!!!

Hwy 36 is a mainline for log trucks, obviously the reporter doesn’t know the difference of log truck & Semi tractor/trailer combos, again,Truckers know how to drive, there are many variables why trucks wreck.

Logs have been hauled by flatbed semi on the highways forever, when moving them from a deck, or mill to mill. I used to drive a flatbed with flip up stakes to haul lumber out and logs back. Some guys haul logs on flatbeds using wedges called cheese blocks to keep the logs from rolling. Very common back in the day.
