I would agree with you woodworks and TDC in respect of charging after the 7-10 mile area.

Its a bit tricky when you can take 7 miles of lanes or 10-12 miles of main road or 4 miles as the crow flys to get to said destinations in our locality.

 

Spending most days in the country lanes and using the the vans onboard computer I can be driving 6 hours to cover 120-150 miles some days. That's a lot of wasted time to have to attempt to pay for your time and make a living.

I found if you try and include delivery in cost of logs. You charge too much to people on the door step and not enough to far customers. So you end up loosing the man next door and spending all your time on the road delivering 14 miles away. On the other hand if your area is overrun with people selling logs you may just have to suffer a bit of mileage to the next town.
