Hello guys and sorry if this has been asked before but I honestly do not know how to search for threads of days past. Anyhow any one know approx volume of wood in a truck & pup filled with logs?I am told the wood is between 4"&18"Dia and lengths up to 20 feet.
Not sure about truck & pup? Are you referring to a tri-axle load of logs? I believe around here a tri-axle load is generally around 7 cord.
Thanks for that info I am guessing it is a 3 axles truck & pup the guys saying there should be 16 bush cord per load and he is wanting $2300 per load
.[/QUOTE] Thanks for that info I get closer to your number volume wise at 12 per truck& pup verse the 16 that the guy is saying& at 125 per cord x12=$1500 and even if I did get 16 cord @125 it should be $2000
Doing a search should not be that hard but for some reason I struggle on this forum. One who can help for sure though is our own Eric VW. He is good with the searches.
16 cord is a lot for a truck and pup. It's running $110 a cord here for mixed delivered. Oak, Maple, Ash, Elm, Birch. Most loads are 12 cord. If you want to buy it off the deck you can save $50 per cord. Pure oak loads are getting charged more because everybody and their brother believes it's the best there is.
Here's how the serious logging companies generally do it in my neck of the woods for lodgepole pine or douglas fir: Book your LOGGING TRUCK load of FIREWOOD now!
assuming your $2300 is in Canadian would equal $1700+ in US $ that sounds good to me for 16 cords. unless they're metric cords...
[/QUOTE] Yes it is Canadian and never knew there was such a thing as Metric cord..be nice if there was for the buyer..
a metric cord would be 3.62 cubic meter, no ? m<sup>3</sup> m[sup]3[/sup] m(sup)3(/sup) <p><var>m<sup>3</sup></var></p> Am out of ideas
