Good luck with it. I've found that its only worth my time to take logs to mill if its walnut or cherry. But then, I'm a tree service, not a logger, so I don't have a lot of log moving equipment laying around. I load with a JD tractor, with front bucket/forks onto a trailer.
I've a hardwood floor and cabinet place about 5 miles from me who pays fair for everything I bring, sometimes will throw in a gum or two they cut up for pallets, just to save me time cutting up and dumping.
I remember hauling 2 white oaks to mill a few years back, buttlogs, arrow straight, and no limbs at all, one butted at 24, the other 26", both 16 ft long, paid $75 for both.
For my time, I'd have made more cutting them 5ft long, stuffing them in the chipdump, and dumping them over the hill, with payroll and time involved. Same with firewood, for me, its just trading nickels, I loose on the job due to the extra time involved, and get paid for the wood, which gives it back, but doesn't pay for my time processing it. I can think of a lot better things to do with the family than feed a splitter all day. I'm saying that, for me, its cheaper not to fool with wood and logs. I make more doing tree work, thats why I'm doing that.
