Boy's your welcome to come on down and stack the same amount of wood out between fence post driven 8' apart. I'll be willing to bet the truck that you find it will be forty feet long and just over 4' in height. It's stacked in tight, the angle or depth perception of the photo may be fooling you, we have been selling wood since 78 and have kept almost all our customer base, the only ones I know of losing is because they moved or have quit burning wood due to age. We have some customer's with the commercially built racks for stacking wood, we know what we get on. We sell in this area by ricks, 4' high, 8 feet long and the length of the wood the customer desires, no way a half cord by true definition of the word nor does two rick equal a cord, but it is a hell of a load on the 1/2 ton trailer, and it's been doing it since 80, I don't think todays pickup beds would survive for five years under this kind of constant stress much less thirty. Next time we deliver on a week day I'm going to run by the feed store and weigh both the truck and trailer loaded separate and they come back empty and weigh them to see what the weight of the wood is. We've had it stacked quite a bit higher on the Dodge, handles it well but we don't deliver that heavy of a load unless it is a neighbor, afraid of a tire blowing out.
