I loaded my first 'for sale' wood - 4 cord order so 2 loads of 2 cords each. I don't even have an ad up. This first load is 60% hardwood (elm & ash) and 40% lodgepole pine. All very dry (overall, moisture content is in that 12% range). It doesn't look like 2 cords but the measurements say otherwise.
The trailer is 12.5' x 6.5'. I'm 1/2 foot short, and due to rounding let us adjust the measurements. So, 12' x 6' x 3' high in the trailer = ~220 ft3. I loosely filled the 8' pickup bed (need 1/4 cord) so I should have at least 2 cords or 256 ft3. I think I'll throw 20 more splits in the bed just to be on the safe side. This wood should burn good.
