Road grade and curvature were measured on 206 miles of forest truck roads in southern Appalachia. The author found that 75 percent of the distance sampled was in grades below 8 percent and that 80 percent of all curvature exceeded a radius of 300 feet. The author concludes that logging road configuration is not severe in Appalachia and recommended that other factors of trucking efficiency in the log transport system be evaluated.
