Not good at math, but as a guess around 2 cords per load.
 
The math says 8 cubic yards is 216 cubic feet. So if its satacked in thre, about a cord and a third...if its just thrown in (more likely), more like a cord per load.

its cut to 3' lengths. so it should stack somewhat nice
 
If it cut in length and put in there it will add up nicely. If it is just dumped in, it adds up like crap.
 
Please keep in mind if you can't burn 3' logs, they have to be cut again. Cutting a 3' log is a big pain in the backside. So if the price was not super low, I'd pass on it.

the price was too good to pass up...

So my wood cutter and seller friend says he has never been able to get more than 2 cords in a full size 10 yarder (Kenworth, Peterbuilt, ETC).... This is a thrown load. If you are talking a smaller truck at 2 loads you might get 1.5 - 2 cords, also figuring they are logs they will be loose packed. FREE is a good price.
