Blaschak is hard to beat quality wise ill give him that. I used that all last year and really enjoyed it. But this year with prices I move on to using Sherman. Quality is comparable so far and for 150$ less a ton it is a no brainer. If you guys are in need like I stated above if I'm able to offload where needed I'm more then happy to help!

I said so :D , also a good way for forum members to pull together to support the smaller operations that aren't selling overseas. Many of us couldn't individually get coal so easily from these guys, it's just not feasible to drive 3 hours for the ton and a half that most of us can haul whereas 3 to 5 ton is more reasonable.
