    Hello, hope all is well!

    we have walking floors and haul local within 100 miles in west and middle South Georgia. Typically, we have had enough business in the past but with chicken houses not having to clean out so much it’s slowed down a lot. We haul shavings to a couple horse guys who deliver to farms, haul sawdust to some chicken houses but need to pick up some extra work. Does anyone have any suggestions that is from the area, we do have access to chips and bark as well but some plants require we carry a different insurance. We currently run private as we are able to buy and own the product we haul. We could haul logs but really is a last resort as we want to keep our walking floors going and put them to use.

    Thanks!
