I have rented a U Haul to transport pellets home. Get the 15 ft truck it can hold 3 ton, put 2 pallets toward the front and 1 pallet after that. Safe travels

If you have to travel any distance to haul (or pick up the truck), it won't be worth it. It cost me $100 to rent a van, drive it 88 miles (total) and put in gas. The rental charge itself isn't so bad, it is the mileage charge they tack on that kills. If you have a hitch, trailer might be the way to go.

To me, $35 isn't bad. HD charges $65, and that is the cheapest I can find. Others want up to $100. And local people won't deliver at all except that one place where you have to buy over 3 tons (not that I want the stuff they are selling anyway - GS's)

I called Argots and they said $40 the first ton and $20 for any ton after. You better check that price.
