| I got hit up by a horse person that wants to buy 100 bales of hay and they asked what I would charge to deliver it 22miles to their horse. What do you guys think I should charge for that? |

$2 a bale dipstick I presume? $200!? Or $2? Tyler comes in at $100! Sheesh....you guys are a little rough in my opinion. $1 per mile is only $44....somewhere in there, like $50, with a good price on the hay, I would be happy enough.

| I charge $5.00 delivery for 4x4 round bale.40 mile maximum. These are 500lb bales so that would be 50 cents per square bale. I try to be fair and point out the truck and trailer does not go down the road for nothing! |

| Is this round bales or square and do you just deliver or have to put in barn? I get $3.50 a square bale out of the field, $4.00 a square out of the barn. $5.00 a square delivered and put up in their barn. This is fescue hay. |

How long would the overall operation take? That's load,travel,unload,return. I can see maybe 2 hrs in it,though I don't know, 100 bales seems like a lot of moving.. Say it takes an hour... so $50 for 'time/man/truck' plus cost of bales. Heck I didn't even add a 'fuel surcharge' ( common up here...) guy wanted me to give a price to pickup and deliver a rider,I said $40, he thought $25 was fair. my truck is in driveway, me, in front of puter  I don't mind doing favors and such, BUT we only got so many days on this World Jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
