Sec. 788.8  ``Cruising, surveying, or felling timber.''

    Employees engaged in ``cruising * * * timber'' include all those 
members of a field crew whose purpose is to estimate and report on the 
volume of marketable timber. Employees engaged in ``surveying * * * 
timber'' include the customary members of a crew accomplishing that 
function such as the chairmen, the transit men, the rodmen, and the 
axmen who clear the ground of brush or trees in order that the transit 
men may obtain a clear sight. Similarly, the usual members of a crew 
which go to the woods for the purpose of felling timber and preparing 
and transporting logs are engaged in operations described in the 
exemption. Typically included, when members of such a crew, are fellers, 
limbers, skidders, buckers, loaders, swampers, scalers, and log truck 
drivers.
