Typical rates question

Florida is generaly okay, just not in June, July, Aug. As for Texas, I can only go by what others here say, as I havent been Tex in like 16 years.

Small bales with a forklift? As a kid, I used to bale hay and spend bookoo hours in a hay mow, and those bales were the small ones, like the ones that get kicked into a hay wagon from the baler. These are what you're talkin', right?

I was thinking if usin' a van or reefer, the bales would have to be hand stacked on the floor and hand unloaded. Perhaps you have a better method figgured out though.

 

That is slick!

These balers systems have come along way since the 80's... LOL

 

No chance of hay in my flatbed, and I would say on alot. Hay is a big nay.

 

I use to own one of those high priced blue ones, great idea, terrible workmanship and company support. That was 4 years ago, maybe there better now.

 

I have 48 ft step deck and would be interested in hauling the Florida loads for $2/mile.

there he goes undercutting the rate.....and with a specialized trailer even!!!!

You might try advertising the hay for sale on Texas and AL ag websites and let the buyers worry about the shipping . I know a couple of hotshotters from that area that would get loads to areas selling hay and haul a load of hay back for use on their own farms and sell it for a profit .
