Hauling Christmas Tree

For 2 years i'm picking up a treeload from nc to ar with multiples stops to lowes,with a dryvan with vents,was a treefarm with gravelstreet in the hills,the load was close to 45k,with more than 500 trees in different sizes.After when my trip was finished,i only clean the floor with a broom nothing else,was a very strong job to unloading the trees the size from the trees was from 6-12 feet

 

I pick up the trees in nov,and the loadingtime was close to 4 hours

 

Last year did about 4 loads out of OR to L.A. I'll say one thing...they were very organized and ready to go.....load time about 2-3 hours, unload about the same..and they were all one delivery point. If you deliver to a church group...they will have about every teenager in the church humping those trees off the trailer. Dry van.

 

We do Christmas trees every year out of Western NC into SC, NC, GA, VA and TN. It is very much like produce some times you do have to wait. Most of the time they can load you within two maybe three hours and most farms load 24 hours per day. We go 7 different farms so if one is backed up we can move trucks around to one that can load quickly. The pay is outstanding we typically run back empty if we can get two turns in one day.

 

Starting next week, I have loads avaible from around the Portland, OR area going down to Mexicali (preferabley) although Calexico would be an option as well. Let me know if you are interested.

 

At a minimum rate of $3000. Right ?

 

Rate is $2750.0

 

Pretty cheap for a one pick one drop.

 

And people wonder why rates are cheap......
