costings for timber haulage

[nick channer]

Stobarts on long runs about £2 a mile we buy from London deliverd to hull £525 + vat

 

That's not on a timber bolster trailer with crane though is it???

Walking floor bulker???? £2-2.30 mile..

Self loading crane moving round timber lot more than that as usually can only load one way..

I stopped getting hauliers to move my wood when the trip to Kronospan increased to £14/tonne, that worked out at £2/mile one way 15 years ago.

 

It's galling for me now as I have access to a large amount of arb waste and my brother needs some in Devon, just sending an 8 wheeler there will cost £800 for at best 15 tonne of unprocessed logs.

That would perhaps look different with a 30 ton artic back load @ £450-£500 if your brother could unload it.

It's arbwaste Bob, I normally load it into roro bins for a local skip firm who do us favours now and again. In the past it was all chipped for Slough Heat and Power.

Around £10/tonne at the moment.
