Delivering firewood in pouring rain?

[TGB]

A tarp sheet springs to mind.. get your customers to get one for when you deliver their wood..

 

 

That's the ticket.

How about working/climbing in the heavy rain?i know some of you will say yea crack on but how healthy for climbing kit etc.

Quite agree,I can quite often find something to cover the load, in there garage (full all sorts) if they let me have a look .

Can't believe how impractical SOME customers are when it comes to weather!!!

I got a couple of rolls of polly from the guys that cover the carrots for winter in the fields. 1 roll should last a lifetime. Cut a length off and use to tip on or cover over. Its lightweight rolls up to nothing everyone's happy. No need to collect later

And then theres the customer that says he only wants bone dry wood, and when i drive past his garage door 3 weeks later its still where i tipped it, moisture content now 100%.

You can get metre cubed bags and barrow bogs that have integrated covers. A few guys near us delivers in big bags with their logo and phone number stencilled onto the side, so acts as good advertising as well.

Might need to change delivery method. Is it possible to unload a metre cubed bag from a tipper without dropping it and making a big mess?

Thought about doing that but I can't get the cubic metre bags off and upright coming off the back of the tipper. Anyone got any ideas?

Deliver IBC's problem solved.

How do you get the wood from the ibcs out without the ibc smashing on to the customers drive and having to lift it back on the truck?

A little hiab type crane,but then its more money and eats into your payload.
