He burns about 20 facecord per year, I burn around 12-15. Generally we are getting ash wood, so 1 full cord (3 face cord) weighs about 2880 lb dry or 4184 lb wet according to google.
It sounds like your best best would be to reduce the amount of firewood you have to haul. Do the math (miles carried) on how many BTUs in the fuel tank vs the truckbed. At about IIRC 50-60 miles you're better off to burn the diesel for heat.
