Don: There is a printed page joke circulates in my hometown, and this is about a guy with little experience going to country and felling his own trees then processing them into firewood. I can't remember all the details, but his cost per cord was $43,000.
Included things like being sued for cutting on wrong property, chain saw expences unbelievable, close to a dozen truck tires, broke back window out of pickup 3 times, beer to treat his help, it ended in a divorce. I've forgotten most of the detail on those cost items, but the highlight, he didn't have a clue how much weight he was piling on the 3/4 ton pickup.
I used to truck fire wood to outskirts of city in 8' lengths, where a broker bucked, split it and delivered with a 1 ton dump. Many folks thought his delivered price was too high, thus headed for country with pickups and utility trailers. I also used to sell to these folks and let them buck and split their own. They save some money doing those chores, then blew it all trucking 40-50 miles with a pickup.
Chad will do alright on the 6 mile haul as long as he just nicely fills the box and calls that a load.
