This dump will hold 14 yards top of metal side and 16 to top of wood plank, water level. That aside it always depends on if your buying or selling doesn't it ? 3 cords is a lot of wood.....

My truck has a 14' long by 7'6" wide by 5' tall bed. It is single axle and hauls 34,000 lbs legally. It will hold 3 cords water level of cut and split 16" wood. My truck will also hold 20 cu. yards of a lighter material like mulch if mounded. It looks like there is maybe 2-1/3 cords on that truck. See my truck at www.nwfuel.com
Also, if the truck in question has a tower up front for the hoist it will take away 1/6th cord. Most likely has a scissor lift though.

A few years ago I was forced to buy firewood. So....I call a Firewood seller and order three cord. The guy comes on time with a truck loaded with splits...dumps it and says he will be back in a half hour.......well 30 min later while I am stacking the first load he comes pulling up with another load. He and Junior jump out of his truck and commence to help me stack Before This gets too long ....I ordered three cords and got 3 1/2 .Fair is fair I payed him for the 1/2 cord extra (actually he handed the money to (Junior") And we all enjoyed a couple of RCs ad some Moon Pies. If you are going to howl about a short load.....be willing to pay if it is extra.....Mike

Agreed Mike. I would pay the guy extra just for the help stacking. It takes a while to stack 3 cords. No one that has delivered wood to me has ever offered to help stack it.

I agree as well.

There is a crap load of wood in that truck. I'd not question 3 cords.

Wow . . . lots of customer service lessons here.

* Delivering what one promises . . . and going the extra yard by making sure the customer gets what he pays for . . . and more.

* Keeping one's promise in terms of time . . . realizing that time is as an important commodity as money and telling the person when they will be back . . . and doing just that in case the customer has plans.

* Showing true grit . . . jumping in to provide that special and unexpected measure of service by helping stack the wood . . . at this point I'm pretty sure this person would have my business for the rest of my life.

* Teaching the younger generation the value in hard work . . . by giving the extra money to the son rather than keeping it.

And let's not forget the lesson from the customer (i.e. you) . . . namely doing the right and honorable thing and paying for the extra wood. Kudos to you.

I'm not a truck expert but it looks like the one that my firewood guy brings when I order 3 cords and it usually measures up pretty darned close.
