Never heard of this.....have Y'all done it?

[Jeff]

I've got nothing to do with this.  Whats a yupper?

[21incher]

I thought all lumber hauled 50 miles from its origin or across state lines had to have a certificate that it was kiln dried, or chemically treated to kill bugs that may be hitch hiking along. 

[justallan1]

That's a cross between a yuppie and a yuper. ;D

[Tom L]

sorry, yoooper

from the dictionary,

"fully crazed northern Michigan people who wear funny hats"

That may be in New York, I would have no idea, but it definitely is not so here in Michigan.

50 miles is for firewood. . . EAB

[Southside]

Actually since you guys mentioned it there could be a gypsy moth quarantine issue here.  Not really sure what the regs with lumber with no bark would be.  I know to send logs from here to there I would have a few hoops to jump through.

Just another reason to tarp it

The NY DEC site says that the USDA APHIS controls interstate firewood, log, and sawn lumber movement, but it only seems to control hardwoods.

Look....this guy lives in Columbia S.C. He has land in Michigan.
He has a friend in Columbia that is felling Pines on his farm in Columbia and giving him ALL the Pine and some Red Oak.

He could not find a band mill close to Columbia to saw his lumber. He found me through the Woodmizer website.

I do not know the size of his cabin. My customers can haul their lumber anyway they want to.....just as long as they pick it up, pay and get it out of the way.

I do not get into the laws from state to state about transporting lumber.....I run a sawmill.
My off bearer is a Highway Patrolman. He does not care where the lumber goes and does not know or enforce these laws.

So this is how it stands.

[Jeff]

We would send out 20-30,000 board feet a day of green hardwood, and none of our deliveries were within even 100 miles. We didn't haul to other states however as all our markets were in Michigan.

Yes, I apparently started something with my joke about the school safety patrol. 
I agree with you.  You cut it, they lug it. 

[customsawyer]

 

Whack it and stack it.

[4x4American]

I do it on the regular.  Almost to a T.  Gooseneck trailer, no fenders, stickered lumber, going from South Carolina New York State to Michigan New York State.

[Magicman]

So is what you are sawying that -

First they call to talk about the job and you jaw with them
Then they show up with their logs and you saw on them
When you're done with their boards there's not a flaw in them.
If it comes to what he does with the wood you don't quote the law to them
And if anyone asks anymore questions about it that'll be the last straw for them?

I have taken a load of sawed and sticker poplar from Virginia to New Mexico.  One of the things we did, thinking of the air flow, we cut the size of the stickers in half.  This really cut the size of the stack down.  But with him needing the stickers in Michigan, I don't know if you can do it or not.

[red oaks lumber]

his buddy cut the logs in columbia? was his name jaun
my feeling is the lumber won't air dry much on the trip, most air flow needs to go cross ways on the bundles to carry the water out,since the bundles will be end ways on the trailer no worries plus you cant dry pine to fast,even if it came from columbia ;D

[redprospector]

I used to have a customer in Phoenix, AZ that wanted it the same way. Sticker stacked on his trailer. He would come when I told him it was ready, and I would load stickered bundles of mostly Ponderosa Pine 1x12's with the tractor. I never saw him tarp it, and I have no idea how it turned out for him. But he did come back several times.  ;D
Phoenix is about 550 miles from me.
