yeah if you charge them for the service of splitting you are virtually charging them for their own firewood and you don't even have to transport it, store it, season it, or deliver it, I suppose.
Only consideration is....would you be making more bucks doing something else you have on the books in that amount of time that encompasses the whole process. Or do you have the time and ability and manpower to do both.

If you charge to do it, than I think that is null and void....just figure it into you total price equation..

If you have a big high dollar removal or pruning job for another client and the one we are speaking about WANTS you to split and leave the wood it may make more sense to
bid to boom out the wood without cutting and even throw it in the dump if it is an undesirable wood and then try to sell them wood you have in your lot.
And go and do the high dollar work with the time it would take to do the (lower paying) splitting.
If they don't go for that then it may be more sensible to opt out on that job unless they are a very desirable customer with much future work. Just saying....
I don't disagree with what your saying, but I don't see the local guys so busy that they wouldn't bid that high dollar job for the next day....
Scheduling is an art that seems to have been lost on the money hungry....

I agree with you first assertion but the second one well....
Supply and demand takes place here and if you run a small entity like I do and being chief cook and bottle washer...you simply cannot do everything.
You have to take in the big money when it is there and buyers are willing to give it to you. Everyday at this time of year for my company has to take that buyer's money or it may be lost forever. No different than selling a Christmas tree (artificial) in January as opposed to in December.
