Abstract: A system, and associated methods, for use as a log truck are provided herein. The system may be installed onto a chassis of a vehicle, such as a standard truck, and used to transport one or more logs. The system may also be transitioned for use with an aerial lift. The aerial lift may be a self-propelled spider-type lift which is capable of automated self-unloading and loading onto the truck when used with the system described herein. The system may comprise a deck for supporting the aerial lift or one or more logs and a frame configured to be coupled beneath the deck and mounted onto the chassis of the truck.
