Price per thousand to forward logs ?

[trecher2]

Hello, I'm wondering what a fair price would be per thousand to forward 70,000 bf about 3/4 of a mile. The haul road is already built it has a few steep parts but overall not to bad of a pull. Anyone out there know the going rate ? Thanks

as much as you can get  ;D other than that I have no info for you

Are the logs piled roadside or still on the woods?

Would be good to know if you are trying to hire or someone wants to hire you to forward them?

Logs are skidded out to 3 landings there bucked but not stacked. I'm thinking around 35.00 per thou, would that be in the ballpark ?

I charge $40/mbf. Plus the move there.  How much do local mills pay for cut and skid? When I set that 40/mbf rate the mills were paying $110-120/mbf for cut/skid their wood a few years ago. I figured a percentage of that. I would probably jack it up a little now because I'm at a steady $130+ per mbf. Don't be afraid to throw some high numbers at em. You can always negotiate.

Back before I retired I charged $60/hour for a man and machine, what ever machine was needed. I always charged by the hour, not the board foot. That way things were laid out nice.

It would be fairly dependant on the size of the logs (bf/log).
