Got a delivery. A few sticks of cherry, and one or two of white oak. The rest is red oak. 26" dia, 7 ft long or so at the bottom.

Yes, freebies nicely unloaded (not dumped) on my driveway.Nice!! Freebies ?? Looks like at least 2.5- 3 cord there!
That’s awesome. I wish I could find someone that could do that for me around here. Everyone around here wants $500 or better for a tree truck load. I do know an arborist, but I have to go cut it and load it wherever it is. And it’s not consistent it’s not his full time gigYes, freebies nicely unloaded (not dumped) on my driveway.
Largest is 31" dia...
Freebies. But I did give the guy $50 because it was a large truck, and he spent time with his crane unloading.
Nice tree service truck with a prentice loader. Wish I could read the cab door. I may know who it is ..... from online that is.Work to be done, that is.

I don't know their name. I only have their phone number - got it from a friend of a friend.Nice tree service truck with a prentice loader. Wish I could read the cab door. I may know who it is ..... from online that is.
That 29,900lb pick I did with the crane was red oak. About 5-6' in diam. It was 30-35' long when we picked it. Cut it up in 5' lengths for my buddies log truck. He's got the same loader on a tandem truck. Sides are caged though instead of solid.Loading 31" oak 7 ft long. It has to be big...
I'm curious. Once they are dropped onto your driveway are you splitting them there or do you have machinery to move them?Work to be done, that is.

Ah ok. I know I have seen some here have tractors and what not to move things. The recent tree we cut into rounds was uphill from where we split and store our wood so it wasn't too bad rolling the rounds down to where they needed to be to split. Years back we had an Oak come down in an ice storm and it was way downhill from our wood stacks. Pretty steep. We had to split the rounds into smaller pieces to be able to move them. The down side to living on the side of a mountain with very little flat ground.I buck them, and then split them, either into proper splits or quarters (or smaller for these big ones) for storage if my firewood shed is full.
All manual here, so gotta break things down before I can move it.
Have you tried chip drop? I’m too cheap to offer them money (since I almost always get it free), but I’ve heard if you offer to cover there fees ($20) or slightly higher you get much faster response…. It’s a bit of a crap shoot, but seems like most drops are at least a truck load of big pieces.That’s awesome. I wish I could find someone that could do that for me around here.

Not familiar with that I’ll have to look into it, thanks!Have you tried chip drop?

As long as they know what kind of wood they're delivering. LOLYou can specify notes too (e.g. hardwood only)
Ha! My recurring note says “no pine”, but realistically I burn outside in the summer, so I really don’t care if they drop some crap wood. I can also dump it at the yard waste dump for free.As long as they know what kind of wood they're delivering. LOL
Seriously, I find many who do not know the value of the wood. It's best to have one or two who you know and trust.
With chip drop, every tom, dick, and harry could wind up in your yard. Like you said, it IS a crap shoot.
