And my truck! Trailer has breaks! But once in town the light changed to orange during rush hour and I was at the point of either gunning it or breaking. I opted to break and the last 10' was front tires barking and smoking! LOL.

That is a nice haul. What is the length and width of the deck of your trailer?

Ha! I have been there before. I actually had the guy at the scrapyard come out of the building and look in the bed of my truck at the scrapyard when I put "just a few more small pieces" in it. He didn't believe the scale.Naw, I can see where he could have fit a couple more smaller diameter logs.

Looks like the white oak log should go to the stave bolt mill. They pay $1 a board foot for a log like that. that notch would take a few bucks off but not bad. Nice load though.

Nice load of wood. Question for you, how/where do you come up with logs like that for firewood? Just curious so I can maybe explore more venues.

I surf craigslist mostly. Or word of mouth. Guy is clearing out a lot in town. He was selling the wood split up, but the owner of the lot wants it cleaned out faster. So he reposted ad logs for firewood! I probably have just under 2 cord on there. I paid $80 for the logs. Not bad. I know I can't fetch them out of the woods for that!
My Dolmars made quick work tonight.
sweeet!
thanks

Reminds me of a time some mexicans wanted to buy some gravel. They had a chevy 1500 and a double axle dump trailer. They wanted the trailer full and some in the bed of the truck. I told them it would not work but they said to do go ahead. Filled the trailer and started putting some in the bed when the tires exploded. They had a big load but where going no where fast.

That's what I told my wife last night during supper!!! Even the red oak was a nice log too. But I don't know of a good mill locally. I had one 3 miles away but it's shut down. :msp_mad: GRRRR
It will keep my family warm though!
