8 wheeler Timber haulage charges

[arboriculturist]

Flats will have square post bolsters that can be taken in and out so trailer could take goods the pop bolsters in for return journey. Lots of boys running flats like that now. Plus you get more weight on as there is no crane. Some forestry guys like to charge for loading as it ties the forwarder up for half hour.

 

All the timer hauliers round me do long distance apart from two retired guys who run 8 wheelers to keep there hand in you no when they been in the yard as it's all graded in sizes and problem pieces put in a stack:thumbup:

 

That very usefull info. thanks.

 

Often thought about asking to grade on unloading but my request may not be well recieved these days!

No I can read just amazed how different one part of the country is to the other all the drivers I know do long distance work. Herefordshire can not sustain it's own supply of firewood so most of it comes up the m40.

Yorkshire must have more timber than I thought?

I know the "rates" vary from one haulier to another but a lot of the variation can be down to how and where they operate from. If a truck is going to be parked up early in the day or is on an empty return run you may well get quoted a reduced rate, its a win win for everyone. I often move timber for mates in exchange for a cutter or climber when I need one. Nowt wrong with the bartering system in this country You just cant afford to rely on these reduced haulage costs if you are pricing work in case you get charged the full whack.

I completely agree bob but both the company's I use are local and need to get drivers home so it works for us the bio mass industry in Herefordshire is huge so it's having an impact on pricing but at the moment it's with in my budget per tonne.
