I don't really want an "installed system" given the INfrequency that I go on those roads, and don't otherwise do offroading/overlanding.
With something like the Baofung would I be able to hear the trucks coming down given the twists+turns around the mountain landscape, the trees surrounding the road, etc.? Something else I should be considering?

The Baofeng UV-5r is a Ham Radio, do you have a Ham license? If so and assuming the loggers are on a Ham radio it would work depending on the distance and obstructions. Although the BaoFeng BF-F8HP is a more powerful alternative for not much more.
