    If Horkn is right, and it’s sounds logical, maybe a deal could be worked out. Chances are high if they have this leftover from processing they have a way of moving it. Might be willing to truck some on rainy days when they may be sitting on the couch earning nothing. Maybe get a sweet deal on trucking that way. Besides truckers like driving in the rain. Less wear on their tires that way :)

    If it’s legitimate it’s a great score, thanks for sharing. In md the latest scam is to post something a lot of people would want for free so they can collect phone numbers to clone for scam calls.

    No. A guy who owns an excavation company who sporadically brings me 20’ log length but charges $70 a cord. Worth it to me because it’s always straight stuff and never too big in diameter.

    I caught that 24" thing too. I didn't key in on it. I was thinking all those logs are not bigger than 24", and also that 24" is pretty good size tree.

    Same drive as I screen shot earlier in this thread is now 51 minutes at 8:05am. Not a horrific drive since a lot of it is highway. Who knows where in town it is, that could have an impact though.

    It raised my eyebrow for sure, I'd have to slice em up to haul them back. 24" is pretty big

    It could be a fantastic deal or nothing. For sure it is nothing if too hard to get to or too far to haul it. Then it is not a deal at all.
