It is too bad you can,t find a guy with a tractor trailer self loader to haul it for you. You could use your truck to drag the logs in one area and have a self loader load and haul it for you instead of say 10 of your loads 1 or two with a big truck.
I know a company up here that would pay big bucks for that oak

Manual trans should be fine.
It really depends on how dry the wood is. I just hauled 3 cords of oak without going over 5k net. but you could go over that with less than a cord of wet stuff.
I'd reccommend you play it safe.
Ono- where is Igo,Ca? are you up in mendocino or?? i heard that whole area is on fire (basically).
as of sunday night- i had 6 or 7 fires within a 30 minute drive. wouldnt be surprised if kawa was packing his stuff up sunday night- he had one probably about 15-20 miles away...

For work I pulled our grout sprayer to oregon from boise total weight was 28,000 never really had a problem with it until the hills then it was a good slow ride to the top. Glad that I had the gauges could have easily just laid into her then watched her stop running all together. Did go 70 75 on interstate without a problem though.

I just figured that from anywhere in north CA you could probably see at least a dozen easy! I want to go play but I'm laid up with a bum ankle (and to much to do to take a 2 week assignment in Cali).

Im not a firefighter, but i know enough of em... I've been trying to find a good deal on a water truck with a pump. cali has the emergency equipment rental program. $1600 a day with driver for up to a 12 hr day. most calls are 2-3 weeks... that's some serious cash fast.
