You should talk to some of your local haulage contractors... They may be glad of a back load and it could work out cheaper...

Dundalk to Ballaghaderreen with straw is 500 a load,nearly 200 Kms,your journey could be near 350kms so expect 750 euro.

I would expect to backload it out for around €400 - €450 its all about knowing the right boys:rolleyes::rolleyes:. I will think during the afternoon who would be traveling that route. Usually pay around €1.50 a km when backloading but all my work is bulker

450 on a backhaul sounds right! What you should look at is any people in kerry or cork boarder that draw flats ring them up, i would it is not time critical, ie you could tell them 3/4 days ahead of schedule which means they will give you a better rate.

not time critical - 3/4 days notice, are you mad, I give my boys at least 10 days notice, rang a boy today to do a job in the next month. I presume a € a km is ex vat. I will pm you a few numbers who would be around that area.
