pick up load

[wannabe logger]

i sell my nets similar size for £3 + vat and they sell them on at £5.00 and softwood I do in 50x80 which I'm selling £3.00 because the timber is getting bit old but £4.50 + vat when I buy in fresh stuff next year

 

You sound like a proper businessman logsnstuff, but this side of the pond, you can buy a net for £3 / £3.50 anywhere. Met a lad in Barcelona last Easter from London, he buys logs regularly at £7...... oh to supply logs to London.

You could charge £80.00 and fill it up there's gaps at the side :-)

Thanks for the advice Daniel am still new to the firewood business just got the truck, £80 sounds a better price

I bank mine up a bit can't be doing with whinging customers saying 'that's not very full'

[Elliot Smith]

yeah been doing that too now especially if the drop off is a fair drive away, rather give them a good load than have to drive home with a "not very full load" still in the back.

 

I really like the tipper you got there av been taking it off by hand which was ok but av just stuck a truckman top on it and it doesn't help having to crawl around in the back haha

Have you heard about a product called the "Loadhandler"? Do a search on here and it will show you what I mean, I have one and its alot easier than unloading by hand and much cheaper than a tipper!

[Elliot Smith]

Yeah seen the loadhandler on youtube, its a great bit of kit would save alot of moving by hand at drop offs, i like how it sits on the tail gate too doesn't look like it would get in the way of other things

£110 it is this year.... no complaints yet !

I get more profit selling the little net sacks . As the customer gets less wood for there money . Most of my customers prefer the loose tipped load though .
