Snider Industries, Inc., will not be responsible for damages to trucks or trailers due to lack of clearance needed by Leterneau to unload logs. 

Logs should not be unchained until the Leterneau stacker is there to hold the logs.  Drivers should be clear of all machines while unloading the load of logs.

These log specs will be followed & deducts will be made if logs don’t meet specs.
