I have been fortunate to grab lots of wood scores via Craigslist but this one has to be my favorite. Only 5 miles from my house, told the guy that my truck could handle 1.5 cord, he stacked about 1.6 cord at the curb. All cut to 18" +/- a little - the size my boiler loves. All I had to do was load a little, move the truck forward 5' and repeat a few times. He has at least another load out back, will cut it to size, stack at the curb and give me a yell, sweet:)!

Amazing. You owe that gentleman a case of good beer of his choice, or a nice bourbon.

(nice trailer too)

Indeed and thanks.
 
What he wont split it for you?
Good point, I will let him know that I am refusing to pick up unless split! Do you think I should I mandate split size?
 
Of course! Nice haul....I dig the trailer....wish i had one like that.
Thanks. I park the trailer in a heavily wooded area and got tired of the wood boards rotting so treated myself to something new last year (most of my purchases come via Craigslist). The problem is that I now need a truck capable of of being equal to the trailers capabilities....:)
