Large truck, one load. I know this because the government here allows mileage (okay, it is in kilometers, but same idea) for different vehicles. The mileage for our diesel pickup is nearly the same as for our six ton truck.
But, if you are traveling to the site to cut, and cut one load a day, well it is cheaper just to return with that load. That is what I used to do when I cut firewood to heat the home. I bet this is the best idea.
But then again, I am talking a large truck that can hold 3,000 bf of lumber - or about 50 sheep.
Mileage on a large truck doesn't drop that much when loading, I suspect it does on pickups. Not sure.
