How Much Does a Truck Bed of Wood Cost?

Truck beds full of wood are a common sight on the roads in many places, especially in rural areas. Buying a truck bed of wood can be a great way to get your firewood or woodworking projects started. But how much does it cost?

The cost of a truck bed full of wood largely depends on the type of wood, the size of the truck bed and the supplier. Generally, you should expect to pay between $100 and $200 for a full truck bed of hardwood such as oak or hickory. Softwoods like pine may be somewhat cheaper but still usually at least $50 for a full truck bed.

The size of the truck bed also matters when it comes to price. Smaller beds often cost less than larger ones, so if you only need a small amount of wood for your project, then it may be best to go with a smaller truck load. However, if you need large amounts of wood then you will likely have to purchase more than one truck load.

Finally, where you buy your wood can make a big difference in the overall cost. Buying directly from local sawmills or tree farms is often much cheaper than purchasing from retail stores. Also keep in mind that bulk orders (i.e., 10 or more truck beds) may qualify for discounts.

Conclusion:

A full truck bed of wood can cost anywhere from $50 – $200 depending on the type and size of the load and where it is purchased from. While retail stores may charge more for their products, purchasing directly from local sawmills or tree farms can help you save money on your purchase.
