    Anybody ever heard the term before?

    I was browsing FBM and was checking a wood sellers listing and its one of his wood volume options. Apparently its a truck full either short or long bed. Cant say I've heard of it before.

    Seems like a term that leaves the door wide open to screwing the customer when selling firewood.

    But what about a 'Periwinkle' load? LOL Reminds me of all the goofy names for TV streaming services.

    True, but when I deliver a half cord I often say jokingly its a "BRAD" load meaning the correct amount, its actually dry and the pieces are pretty uniform. Not that I'm trying to deceive or misrepresent what they're getting. Nor would I use the term selling wood either.
