What’s everyone charging to deliver hay and straw? Small squares or rounds. Charge by the mile? What if you have to make more than one trip?
SS bales, $1 a bale, if within 10 miles. If I unload/stack $1.50 a bale. Usually, with the unloading/stacking works out to close to $150 an hour (300 bales, around 3 hours from leaving driveway to pulling back into driveway). BTW, I'm mechanical loading/stacking with tractor/grapple.
I have one customer that's less than 10 miles, takes over 3,000 bales a year, easy to get in/out, all pretty good/blacktop roads, they unload, takes about an hour (DW to DW), that I only charge 50 cents a bale, using pickup with trailer. |
