If it was stacked it would for sure be 4 cords so yeah 2.9 to 3 cords tossed. I’ll find out Saturday when I have to unload and stack it, not so fun part.

So Maybe 3 cords tossed on? That’s still about 15k pounds, little over trailer limit I believe. Should be okay with 14 ply tires.
The mechanic said the rim would break before a 14 ply tire.
Is this a delivery to a customer?

To a small firewood company in atl. He payed for 50 cords I brought 27 so far. But only 2 cords at a time but I wanted to cut down travel cost so I made this trailer to carry more per trip.
You guys in warmer climates (where winter temps hold above 20 degrees) have more issues with ice dams. Around here, a decently insulated building builds a thin layer of crusty ice and the snow rests on top of it. The only ice issues come up on roofs with not much pitch or ones with poor insulating. You can tell in a hurry where the contractor got lazy while insulating as the snow will be all sunk in there.
We routinely shovel the roofs due to snow weight. Not an issue this year luckily. And a lot more buildings are being done with steel roofs to eliminate this.

Holy crap, I'd be rich!
I was guessing based on the trailer dimensions, not on what was in the trailer. I don't think there is 3 cord in there now(I'll look again and give my guess on that load
). Edit; I would go with right around 3, little below the sides.If it was me I would weigh the truck/trailer and see what the weight is with and without the load. I'd like to see how squatted the truck is and the trailer/tires are, that tells a lot even without weighing it.
Maybe it’s pesos...

The truck is 2016 ram 2500 diesel 4x4 6.7L, id like to know the weight also, there is a racetrac close by that has scales. I pull 5-6 ton loads a lot being in the masonry business by trade. Firewood i do on the side when masonry business is slow. I’ll post the truck/ trailer weight And exactly how many cords it turns out to Saturday with some pics.I was guessing based on the trailer dimensions, not on what was in the trailer.

I have been using one of these for firewood. I don't scoop it up to load but hand toss it in the bucket. A filled bucket like in my pic is about an 1/8 cord. Most chips,bark and debris fall through. I have the old style listed in this link. https://www.loflinfabrication.com/product-items/rock-bucket/
Looks like some highly valuable wood right there

Not in most places here. The road is owned by the jurisdictions that built/maintain it: city, county, state, etc. In the city here home owners need permission to plant trees between the curb and sidewalk, the plus side is the city maintains them. If a limb falls, they call the city to remove it. With city curbside cleanups, once homeowners put junk out to the curb for collection, it’s city property. A rare exception I know of is the National Forest Road that goes through my property, it’s on an easement. Even the Forest Supervisor told me that they can’t remove hazard trees that might fall into the roadway. They have no qualms about cutting them after they fall and pushing them out of the way.
-9 true temp with high winds here this morning. I think I’m going to stay home and clean my closet this weekend. Haven’t seen the floor in there in about 5 years lol.
Took a big dead ash down this morning down back in the fence row. NO WIRE!!! Few noodles for your viewing pleasure.
Found this in the old pumpkin patch. I think it was a buck rootin for old pumpkins. You can see where his tines raked the snow.
I always liked the word “rootin”
