Would be different if you could haul more, that's a job for a nice size single axle medium or class 3 type truck you could put 4 cord on or better. That and how you are set up, if productive, fine, but to go back and forth for small quantities would make it undesirable at first glance. I see good hardwood advertised, free for the taking or know of places within a certain radius where it could be had for free, its time consuming and unless you can put a large quantity on a truck or trailer each trip, it may not be worth it. Some locations, species of wood, well worth it if easy access, and many of the ads have images, so it depends on the situation. I've done it before, worked off a massive pile of tops 10 miles away, all kinds of good hardwood, hickory, oak, hard maple, just the quantity was small at the end of the day, needed a more efficient manner of processing it. A good friend does this when visiting their farm, one pick up truck at a time, 36 miles each way, He visits often and each time its one load, over time he gets what he needs for a season, between this and what he has near his place. The farmer I used to help, spring planting one year was after an ice storm that littered the edges of the fields with downed trees, more than I could gather, but I did bring my old grain truck to the fields and a home made set of forks for the bucket, my chain saw and at different times was able to get full truck loads to haul home, made large pile of logs that I worked off of for 2+ years, that was worth doing. Now if one is desperate for firewood, then you do what you must. One friend was coming here with a pick up truck, lot of dead elm here, so I figured it a help to give some of it away as I could not process all of it, though I did cut up lots of it. 20 miles away was where it was going, too time consuming, he ended up ordering a 10 cord load of logs, dropped in his yard, so much easier to deal with.
