BILL’S TRUCKING COMPANY
ELLENVILLE, NY

ESTABLISHED 1952

WILLIAM C. STOECKELER SR.

At the age of 24, Bill started logging for a local mill; sustainably harvesting the Landowner’s asset; for someone to come back in 10 years to harvest the mature trees again.

Firewood was always a part time source of wood sales.

Recognizing that quality is most important in any product Bill prided himself in producing firewood which was clean, all the same length, bug, rot, and knot-free, and seasoned for 6+ months.

By the late 50’s he had created a strong customer base of homeowners in northern New Jersey, and began wholesaling to nurseries and stores in both Northern New Jersey and Metropolitan New York City.

Bill pioneered the bundle most firewood is packaged in today, as it is easier to transport than loose wood. Bundles of 12”, 16”, 19”: and 16” kindling are our most popular.

Customers could easily light the small split and air seasoned wood. Air seasoning leaves neat, clean looking, light colored stacks. We now kiln dry all our wood to meet USDA Beetle regulations.

After Bill passed away in 2007, his brother Joe and two of his children Mike & Mona, and Bill Jr continued to operate this well-established business. Since Joe Sr’s passing in 2018, Mike and his wife Dawn have continued the tradition.
