Is there any interest in a sticky about how to organize a bulk grain buy?

How about a sticky on how to find enough people to go in on a group buy?
... figure in the price of a liftgate truck if you have no loading dock to borrow.
If you happen to know that for example R&L Carriers has liftgates on all their trucks (at least in my area) you can save a bit by specifying that carrier and not requesting the liftgate.
I don't know if NCM allows specification of the carrier but that's a pretty bold move too. Watch them pull up to your driveway with that one non-liftgate truck that they have in the fleet.
Our order had 4 pallets
Our order had 4 pallets, and it was ~ $27/sack of 2-row shipped. I'm not sure how much more 4 pallets saved us VS 1 pallet, but I don't think it was a whole lot - a penny or two / lb I think.
Didn't we load about a pallets worth onto your trailer?

2 pallets saves you $1.10 per sack.
4 pallets saves you $2.20 per sack.
However, each pallet is obviously an additional shipping charge.
Where it gets tricky is when you have 42 sacks committed and you get a few more people who want a few more sacks. You have to decide if you want to cut off at one full palette for the better pricing or more the merrier.
