The present invention discloses methods and apparatus for pre-bunking cut timber and transporting cut timber through the use of a trailer that is adapted to receive portable bunks. Methods and apparatuses of the present invention include a pre-bunking system connected to a scale with a remote readout that can permit the operator to vary the load of logs to be transported. Additionally, methods disclosed by the present invention permit efficient transportation of both logs and wood residuals (or any other load) with a minimum waste of labor and fuel by permitting return trips of wood residuals or other load away from the sawmill or other location, such as a pulp mill. Wood products or any load that can be efficiently used to maximize the value of transportation may be hauled according to the claimed invention. A trailer is disclosed by the present invention that is adapted to hold a load while at the same time the trailer is adapted to receive portable bunks when the portable bunks are fully laden with logs that have been securely fastened to the portable bunks through use of a described and claimed pre-bunking apparatus.
