I have trees like that that die or blow over..... and when they do, I buck em into sawlog lengths and carry them to the local bandsaw mill, and make lumber out of them. My sawyer will tell me if there's lots of checking... if there is, he switches from 1x12's to 4x6's or the other beam sizes I currently need.
It will have almost zero value to any commercial operator...like others have said, it'll cost more to come out and load than the tree is worth.
If you know a scrounger (like me  ), call them, and they'll come out and haul the tree off for you... and usually haul off the limbs and damaged wood, as payment for the 'good wood'.
If you call a tree service, you're looking at a couple hundred bucks for them to come out and haul it off.
