[Terrapreta] Commercial charcoal VM content

[Richard Haard]

Hello Tom

I may have missed this - Is this hardwood or softwood char or a  
combination?

Also when a truckload leaves is it packed into subunits in a semi or  
does it go out as a belly-dump full of powdered charcoal.? Can it go  
on a flat deck semi?

If it is packed in subunits like the industrial loads I see heading  
towards our local refinery then some of us can go in on a  load and  
arrange multiple drops. Just a hypothetical question at this point.

When our nursery was shipping B&B plants, multiple drops  on a cross  
country shipment were typical. In fact several local growers here  
worked through a single broker who arranged for sales to multiple  
outlets. Back in those days late 80's I was digging and loading but I  
recall the shipping costs back then was about $2000 for a semi with  
weight completely maxed out.
