No more nut coal for you, Boots, now it's rice or buck.

One way to find out...pick some Lehigh up and give it a try and compare.

I know from the reviews here its not junk. The worst that happens is I drive a few extra miles, and it keeps my house warm

Saturday Hours for pickup and the price is right too.

TT loads every day.

Are they busy enough on Saturday's that there is a long waiting line to get loaded? I'm about two hours away & trying to figure out if I could get two loads in one Saturday by being there for the first when they start loading for the day. I'd need to shovel the first load (three tons) off before returning for the second load.

I got my first two tons yesterday. They were hoppin. The first cold snap brought out all of us procrastinators

It took an hour for me to scale in, load up, scale out and pay. That is the fourth time I have been there, and by far the longest time there. Usually it is a 30 minute deal.

JP, What time of the day did you get in line to weigh in before loading? Was the line long when you weighed in? Mike

I got there around 11am. There were 6 or so trucks in line in front of me both times. I suspect most of them had never been there before as it seemed to take a lot longer for each of them to make it through the scales and pay than it did for me.

Can they fill large bulk bags directly in a trailer or truck bed? The bags can hold up to 3000lbs.

When I go there (and I am about an hour away) I go early, getting there around 7:15 or 7:30, and I have yet to wait behind more than 1 truck. Seriously, I have never even been there 30 minutes, from start to finish. Home by 8:30 or 9:00, unloaded by 9:30.

Last year they had just a skid steer for loading pickups and trailers. The bucket is too wide for a short bed pickup. This year they have added a smaller loader. I suspect the bucket is still too wide for one of those bags.

Here is a picture of the trailer I bought last year for coal duty. It hold two tons fine, the truck isn't nearly as happy, but gets the job done.

Thanks for the info. My back is killing me so I am looking to do as little lifting as possible. Not really even interested in lifting 40 lb bagged coal. I was hoping to use a skid loader to hang the bags so I could just have the coal flow out of the bottom into a trough and shovel small amounts to put in my stove. Of course trying to get coal as in expensively as possible.

Lehigh probably isn't the place to go to load those bags. Direnzo on the other hand has a loading shed with overhead chutes that might get it done. Good coal, but it is more than Lehigh.

When I used to get my coal from Kasey-Kasa, they had a hopper that you just backed your truck under & a large loader would dump into the hopper. They could load even the smallest pickup truck that way. It'd be nice if Lehigh would have one.
I have an 18' 10k trailer that I'm putting stake sides on, so it doesn't really matter to me any more though.
