Razzler and Wood'nCoal highly recommend that I drive to the breaker to pick up my own coal vs bagged...

For a first-timer's trip to a breaker what is the procedure once you get there? How much can I fit into a F250 full size bed per trip? Will I save money once I pay for gas/time/unloading vs local bulk delivery($229/ton local bulk)?

Coming from the Easton area which breaker do you recommend for quality rice coal? Directions? Their recent price/ton? Are they busier weekdays or weekends?

Thanks
