    If only you lived a bit closer. I trade a couple buddies split firewood for labor skidding & splitting. We could use another man.

    It took a few years of calling, stopping at job sites and then once I got them to drop off a load, it took another year to let them know I was serious. I told the one guy he couldn't drop off enough....I think he is trying (and successfully) prove me wrong. Haha

    Maybe that's the key! Offer a challenge that they can't fill your wood yard. I'm lucky to get 1 or 2 a year from any single tree service. Persistence pays off!

    They’ve dropped all sorts of loads this past week. Can’t keep up with it all during delivery season

    Ugh! You're about to the point of needing a part time yard man to stack & buck logs.

    If I had a reliable guy, I would hire him.

    Im semi reliable??? I like to play with wood (firewood that is) and chain saws. I think the commute would be tough though!

    Looking at all you get done, I would say you are much more than semi reliable! And yeah, don't think you would like the route 95 commute.
