Hi, been searching for ages but can't find the info I'm looking for, we haven't been doing logs for long and we are now having to buy in cord to keep up, I have naught a few loads recebtley by the ton, but I have been offered some wood per m3, I will be getting the logs collected and in the process of getting quotes but I am unsure as to how much they will be able to fit on an 8 wheeler load as they always quote by the ton. So my question is what would be the average m3 of hardwood cord per 8 wheeler

 

Thanks in advance

Tomm

Hi I'm construction based but I'm pretty sure an 8 wheeler carries about 14 cubic meters as an average rather than the 20t weight it can carry.

An 8 wheeler in timber transport will have a much different body style to the ones you see in the construction industry. Bolster pins and a long arm grab are the order of the day.

The ones we get in are 14tons and make around 24 cube of firewood. If you're using the same lorry as normal then just divide the cubic amount by the tons to see if it's a good deal. It's going to be the same volume of wood so I would say it's the total price per load that matters.
