If the conditions of road are bad, traditionally the truck's traction conditions and specific motion strength of a trailer truck play the decisive role in selecting trailer truck's type for transportation of timber. By using formulas to calculate trip's load of a trailer truck, a coherency has been determined between specific motion strength of a trailer truck, road's climb, traction coefficient of the wheel's tires and traction mass coefficient of a trailer truck. From this coherency a diagram has been derived, convenient for practical usage when selecting truck's type according to specific conditions of road. A methodology has been described for the use of the diagram and suggestions made on specific road conditions suitable for the use of trailer trucks on the full drive truck's base for timber transportation.
