Who this is for
This is for people who already cut, buy or sell firewood around Southeast Texas and want a steady stream of local customers without chasing posts and calls. Maybe you cut off your own land, work a tree service, or haul wood on the side.
You're an independent seller. You use your own truck, your own wood and your own schedule, within the deadline for each job.
Requirements
- A truck, or truck and trailer, that can carry the sizes you'll take (a full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked).
- A supply of hardwood, seasoned and/or green, that you can split to about 16 inches.
- You live or work close enough to deliver in at least one of Silsbee, Buna, Evadale or Lumberton.
- A mobile phone that you answer or text back.
- A valid driver's license and your own vehicle insurance. You're responsible for your own vehicle, tools, insurance and taxes.
- You're 18 or older.
How you get paid
The customer pays you directly, in person, in cash, at the posted price when the wood is delivered. The website never touches the money. There's no sign-up fee and no per-order fee at this time. This is what the posted prices are today:

How approval works
- Create an account and applyTell us about your truck, the towns you'll deliver to, and a short bio. This is the form at the bottom of this page.
- We review it by handWe look at every application ourselves. If we have a question, we'll contact you.
- You're approved and start taking jobsYou'll see open jobs in your towns on the runner board. New runners hold one job at a time. After two completed deliveries you can take up to three at once.
What's expected of you
- Honest sizes. A quarter cord is 32 cubic feet stacked, a half cord is 64 and a full cord is 128. Deliver the full amount that was ordered.
- The right wood. Hardwood, split to about 16 inches. Seasoned means dried at least six months, and green must not be sold as seasoned.
- The posted price. Nothing extra at the door.
- A photo of every delivery. You can't close a job without one. Keep faces, house numbers and license plates out of the picture.
- On time. Deliver within 5 days of taking a job, or release it so someone else can. Missed jobs count against you.
- Respect. Be polite and reachable. Ratings are public, and serious or repeated problems can get you suspended.
