i'm clearing off a piece of land in ebr and have 2-3 loads of logs to get rid of. big majority is oak and pecan. any ideas of a logger to call? how much $$$ can i expect? i know it isn't much but every little bit helps.

You will be lucky to just get rid of 2-3 loads. The cost of getting equipment there probably doesn't make it worth it for any logger.. hence no meat left on the bone for you.

Why in the world are you clearing Oaks and pecan?

I doubt you will find anyone willing to pay you for them, you'll be lucky if anyone will haul them away for free.

that's pretty much what i thought. i may have 4 loads, but that's the max. i've got equip on site to load which "may" help.
tbh, if can get rid of them for no cost i'd be ok, but i'd hate to leave money sitting on the table when i don't have to

Call a couple of the closest hardwood sawmills and ask if they can recommend a small logger/tree company. I see little crews, usually Mexicans, hauling small loads on flatbed trailers into mills occasionally. You probably won't make much, if anything, but they'll take them off of your hands and hopefully cover the cost of disposal.

Call up some folks who deal in firewood.

I'd call some small time saw mills, the kind you might find in the classifides or some hardwood dealers. They probably won't buy all of them but they might buy some. 2 inch thick live edge slabs are all the rage these days. I've seen 2 inch slabs of pecan being sold for $250 each.
