Thanks for the compliment, brother. I wood take that load any day. In fact, our restaurant wants more bark, so we're including more limb wood now.
We have made a few deliveries earlier this year, now that the days are shorter and cooler, folks remember that winter is coming...... After working my 12hr night shift, we made deliveries Saturday morning. 1 row from this shed Makes a full FC, stacked on the truck We just piled it next to his storage area between trees...... Got home, hitched up dump trailer for next stop...deer camp... We had worked a couple mornings after work to get it processed. We don't advertise anymore, just word of mouth. We get tagged when folks ask about farwood on FB. We have 70-80 people in our contact list. Got 2 more dump trailer loads to go, got to build some sides for the trailer. Longer hauls. Plus several other 1/3 cords loads to do. Going to visit my cousin in the eastern Nashville area next weekend. We can take a trailer load of clean oak or hickory up there......
Delivered three face cords today and bagged $300 each with tips. Only have one delivery scheduled for tomorrow which is a good thing because I have another three to load for Monday deliveries . 15 face cords delivered the first seven days of October. Departed @7:10, returned home for lunch and a reload
Four face cords headed down the road tomorrow $1,140 list price. Tips have been very good so far this month. Have deliveries scheduled out to this coming Friday.
Inventory is down from seventy plus cords at my peak to around sixty. Bringing in more white oak and hickory whenever I get the chance.
Wife and I visit my son in Atlanta three to four times a year. Always try to deliver a FC along the way.
I'm planning ahead for next year and I wonder what price difference you give for full cord deliveries vs. face cords. I too can easily throw 1/3 of a cord in my pickup and it's fast and easy but people want more. They don't expect to pay 3x the face cord price for a cord though. The only benefit to me is less customers to deal with. My truck can carry a full cord but it takes much longer to stack it in.
No difference in price, sometimes it's a bit more. Longer time to load, more fuel pulling trailer and usually a bit more than a cord on the trailer
Sold 20 Face Cords as of today for the month. Crazy. One customer today runs a Nashville tour gig. Big E's Bronco tours. He purchased a face cord of awesome cherry; delivered about 50 cuft. He sent me a picture of his fire for the evening thanking me for the great wood and service.
So Big E's name is Eric. He is about 6'6" and over 300 lbs. Yes, I was worried about whether he thought he was getting great firewood for the price.
I might be presumptuous, but will now advertise my business as the official firewood seller to Big E’s Bronco Tours. Have hit the big time.
