The transportation or movement of logs or other forestry products to
a ``mill processing plant, railroad, or other transportation terminal''
is among the described operations. Loading and unloading, when performed
by employees employed in the named operations, are included as exempt
operations. Loading logs or other forestry products onto railroad cars
or other transportation facilities for further shipment if performed as
part of the exempt transportation will be considered a step in the
exempt transportation (Woods Lumber Co. v. Tobin, 199 F. 2d 455
(C.A.5)). However, any other loading, transportation, or other
activities performed in connection with the logs or other forestry
products after they have been unloaded at one of the described
destinations is not exempt. ``Other transportation terminal'' refers to
any place where there are established facilities or equipment for the
shipment or transportation of logs or other forestry products. Motor
carrier yards, docks, wharves, or similar facilities are examples of
other transportation terminals, but the place where logs are picked up
by contract motor carriers or haulers at the site of the woods
operations for transportation to the mill, processing plant, or railroad
is not such a terminal.
