Lots of logs going up and down the road here. If they're making money or not ??

I mill fence posts, also have size sorting equipment. This is first year I'm getting pulp grade mixed into my post wood. We have a grinding yard for mulch products. This mixing is to benefit the producers in the woods, not me. I have to add 3-4 men to sorting operation as the "eyes" for logs sized right for posts but defective. Sorter uses lazer for size, but cannot see the defects.

So how much could I save buying fence post directly and how many fit on a semi load.

Cutting on share is where the logger are losing fuel way too high and owner want more tan 3o percent for their timber.

High fuel prices will ruin an economy quicker than anything else. My opinion.
