I pay 60 quid an hour for an artic timber lorry or for a wagon and drag! It usually works out cheaper when working cash!!

How do you stack on flat and secure without bolsters?

How do you stack on flat and secure without bolsters?

 

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:
