I had a butt load of those rounded side pine timbers from a load of landfill liner rolls. I made a nice log cabin bungalow for my terriers. Ripped down some oak 4bys for the floor planks. Made some stilts out of cedar logs. Only thing I bought was some tin for the big ol' roof.
need some cheap dunnage????

I haven't paid for dunnage in 5 years, why would I start now?
-
Many receivers will give me all I want. If only I was building a cabin or owned a fireplace -
I have a big stack of hardwood dunnage sawed up ready to feed into my wood stove.

No thanks. I'll leave the landscape timbers for the Western Express and CRST drivers.
Jumbo, TwinStickPeterbilt and MJ1657 Thank this. -
I got eight 6x6 oak timbers from an ATS driver a few months back for $20.... he also sold me his Fox Fire magnet LED's for $20 for 2 yellow and 2 reds. Say what you want about ATS but some of their drivers are like hitting the ###### jackpot

like i've stated. not all shippers provide dunnage. i've had quite a few lately.
at nucor, you don't have dunnage. they sell you dunnage. heard a driver got chewed out by the boss because he had no dunnage.
i've even fought with receivers for MY wood. that they need to put there loads on.
this load i picked up. doesn't buy their own dunnage. to be used for their loads.
contrary to popular beleif. sometimes you just gotta use a tax write off. and supply your own wood. if i have to spend $32 to haul a $3000 load. and any future loads. then so be it. now i'm set for all the loads that don't supply their own wood.skellr Thanks this. -
TwinStickPeterbilt Thanks this.

I have a dunnage box in the rear of my trailer. I always keep a few extra pieces in there so when I get to a receiver I have some to give them so they can start putting the load on the ground.
It speeds up the unloading which in the end is a good deal for me.
