I am running into an issue all of a sudden getting enough wood done in a weekend (managed to get 17 cord out this weekend) for my side business. I am having a debate of how to increase my delivery production. I know either way I am going to have to have a second person so my Mulitek 2025 doesn't stop working well I am gone.
My issue is well gone during deliveries I am not getting any wood split. I am currently running 1 F550 with dump body doing 2 cord at a time, some of the deliveries only take an hour, but due to where I am splitting the wood at most are over the hour mark. I am debating if I should add another truck of similar size (requiring me to save more), add a larger truck (3 cord truck), or sell my current truck & purchase 2 or more trailers while picking up a used 3/4 or 1 ton which I could finance as I am currently only running my company vehicle as a personal truck also (god love free fuel).
Let me know what you guys think, I would like to try and keep the wood business to just the weekends leaving the week nights free for the girlfriend and down time due to working from 5am until atleast 6 daily at the day job.
