    I got a call today for a 3 cord order. I’m not ready, but I still need 6 tires.
    Does 5 cords on the books in August qualify for Nashville level?

    Thats awesome. Good for you. :makeitrain"

    It qualifies if you delivered it all in one day and stacked too. :D

    I don't often do volume in the warmer months, but the last couple years its improved. Im trying to get folks to buy green/semi seasoned wood early so I don't have to stack/store it.

    Tomorrow morning it begins. I’ve never loaded my 1 ton dump 3x in one day. This is where the ultra high impact extreme training pays off. :thumbs:
    A lady canceled on me last weekend because she didn’t want to stack in the heat. I would’ve done it for a small fee.
    The guy stacking 3 has some work ahead

    Our Nashvillian friend would have 3 cords delivered, stacked and make the liquor store with time to spare! :D

    Trying to think of my record delivery day. Definately not three cords.

    Good luck tomorrow Jim!

    I started filling the truck at 7am and delivered the 3rd cord around 12:30. They have a lot of stacking to do before they can use the driveway again and they are going to need more pallets.
    Open fireplace burners, so they will probably need more. :makeitrain"

    Are you just loose throwing it into the dump truck? Or do you have to stack it in there to get it to hold a full cord. No way I could stack 3 cords in a dump truck by myself in one day.

    It was 3 separate 1 cord deliveries. I filled the truck 3x. The customer was only 4.7 miles away. It’s not like I had to drive a rick 200 miles to Nashville. :thumbs:

    Those high sides won't allow the wood to dry while driving!

    Take a closer look bud. You see that big air scoop on the front of the bed? All that air gets jammed through a mesh vent that flows super heated high speed air through the wood to knock it down to a 28% moisture level. No problem drying white oak en route.

    Yeah I figured it was 3 separate loads. But didn’t know if you had to stack each one in the truck to make it fit. Handling 3 cords in a day is no small task, at least for me. I’m not sure I could do it.
    I might could, if’n folks around here would pay Nashville prices. Thick stacks of Benjamins are a great motivational tool.
