I charge to unload trailers

[Mooseherder]

Sometimes the goat has to unload it quickly.

Not only scarey but  down right nasty!  :D

That eagle got his tail feathers kicked.

Yesterday I did a small custom job.  Four logs and one beam all to be sawed into 3/4" slats.  Took about 2 minutes to unload his trailer with the forklift.  Two hours saw time cause the logs were so small and crooked.  200 board foot total.  If he doesn't show up tomorrow to get his lumber I'll band it and move it out of my way, more lost time.  At least banded I can load quick and get him on his way. 



Never charged a minimum but maybe I should to discourage the small jobs like above or encourage the customer to bring more logs.  Me hates small logs.

That eagle didn't look too bright and obviously didn't have much of a plan, either.  I bet he was sore the next day.

The eagle looked hooked and could not let go to me.

[WDH]

That is what you get for hooking up with a goat.

I would like to know how long it took the eagle to fly off after he got unhooked?

[SlowJoeCrow]

That eagle has eyes much bigger than it's talons!!  I was impressed how long it held on and that it would even attempt that large of prey.

[Kbeitz]

Looks like this happens a lot...

Moral of the story:  DON'T CLIMB THE HILL!!

[Magicman]

It's amazing that it was all caught on camera.   

[paul case]

It was only caught on camera because it was all an act. The actor playing the eagle was an ex fighter pilot and the actor playing the goat was David Poston. He has very good insurance!!!!

It was filmed to be viewed from Poston sawmill's cedar pavilion. Also available for weddings funerals and poker night.

;D

OK, I get it. 


 
I took this picture just after he put on his head mask.


 
And this one after the eagle had flown away.

I have a trailer with sides but I lay 4x4 across the top and gives plenty of room for the forks to slide right out

Why couldn't you saw for 30/mbft and unload for free?  You'd make more in the long run and once your customers heard the word free they'd think they're getting a great deal.

22 minutes is the word in the pen.   

[YellowHammer]

After watching the videos, I am taking rock climbing off my bucket list.

Maybe we could get the eagle to unload the goat's trailer? 

[redbeard]

After seeing the poor goats demise I've decided not too charge for trailer unloading.

[4x4American]

Sounds reasonable to me. I'm at the point where i just don't want to load anything without a flat deck. One mill near me charges full sawing rate,  $400.00/hr for a WM1000, from the time you arrive, until the time you leave.

How do they figure how long it'll take a customer to pay the bill?  Just add an hour to it or do the send an invoice?

[Dave Shepard]

I guess once the trailer or truck is loaded, the clock stops. 

[red]

Clock stops when they drive thru the EZ Pass gate at the street. Please drive less than 15 mph.
