I am getting ready to cut 12-15 old growth Red Oak trees in mid Western Lower Michigan and can’t find a timber hauler to save my life. Growing up in the Upper Peninsula you can’t throw a stone without hitting a logging truck. Anybody have any ideas? I need to get the logs about 100 miles away.

Thanks in advance.

All these logging videos I watch, most seem to be down in southern USA, guess thats where most logging is done nowadays. One option is a ton truck&trailer and make three trips, wonder what U-haul offers............

Found a timber hauler. All set. Thanks everyone.

These are grade logs going to a sawmill to make wood flooring for our new house.

Been sawing some of those logs into flooring.

Got to haul some of the odds and ends home on my new trailer. The trailer's maiden voyage from the factory. It was completed 5 weeks earlier than expected.
