Who pays for trucking in your neck of the woods for pulp? Is the price they give you to the landing or do they, or you, pay transportation. I have heard of both ways here.

Ron Wenrich

Some pulp companies do have zones where they give more for pulp in zones further from the mill.  So, they do compensate for the further trucking, and they do limit competition from their own zone. 

Most everything else is quoted in delivered price.  That includes lumber, chips, and firewood.  For export sawlogs, we load onto containers and some veneer buyers arrange trucking. 
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

if your getting paid "mill price"(10 ton of xyz@$10/ton delviered to ABC =$100 to you) your paying the trucking this can also be less broker fees  if your using one
otherwise its by whatever agreement you come up with
some of my wood has been haul by a private trucker under someones elses contract we both knew the trucker would drop by the contract holder with the slips and get his $ and i'd get mine in the mail with the  slips other times using a different trucker i'd get the slips from the trucker and get paid the "gross" and pay the trucker from that.

So, does anyone know the going hardwood and softwood pulp rate in Vermont Maine or New Hampshire? UVM's Forestry website has not been updated in a while.
