$35 for P-U load of Oak firewood? WHERE ARE YOU?

I'm in East Texas. Where are you?

A heaped pickup load should be between half and three quarters of a cord. If the pickup load costs only $35 in your area, the cost per cord is between $50 and $75. At those prices reselling makes a lot of sense if you can get any volume, .

I am not buying or selling firewood, but just making it for personal use. However, prices advertised locally (rural country with small towns and moderate size cities) appear to be in the $150 range for seasoned hardwood.

Firewood sells for a LOT more than that in cities all over the country. That same web site will give you some idea of prices others are paying.

If you decide to start reselling, would you give me first shot at 100 cords or so? An 18-wheeler should haul about ten or twelve cords, I'm guessing, to stay within legal weight limits, so hopefully we're not too far apart.

Is unemployment high in your area? I can't imagine why anyone would be willing to cut and split half or three quarters of a cord for $35 to $50.

You are right that transport would be a bit much to my area, but there should be a lively market in Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Ft. Wayne, Louisville, etc with reasonable transport cost (maybe $1.50 a mile for a friendly 18-wheeler owner-operator?).

If you advertise wholesale prices on that firewood website you should be able to put something together with an urban area dealer somewhere in your area.
