Log Hauling Companies

Log hauling rates depend on distance, load size, and terrain. Short hauls under 50 miles typically run $3-5 per mile loaded. Longer hauls may drop to $2-3 per mile. Self-loaders charge more due to the built-in knuckleboom. Get quotes from multiple haulers on JMLogMarket to compare rates in your area.

The most common log trucks are pole trailers (for long logs), self-loaders (trucks with a built-in knuckleboom crane), straight trucks (for smaller loads), and chip vans (for wood chips and sawdust). The right truck depends on your load type, distance, and whether you have a loader on site.

A self-loader is a log truck with a built-in knuckleboom crane mounted on the truck or trailer. It can load its own logs without needing a separate loader or skidder on site. Self-loaders are popular for remote jobs or smaller operations. They typically cost more to hire than a straight log truck because of the added equipment.
