    Got a partner now and we're slowly growing

    I recently got a friend of mine on board with the scrap game and it seems like we've been doing pretty well, although we did hit a dry spell the past couple of weeks that seems to be coming to an end. I told him all about the scrap business and he expressed interest, so one day I showed him the ropes and, like me, he was hooked almost immediately. Not only that, but he knows contractors who can hook us up with stuff, all but one of them scrap copper for themselves unfortunately but they give us a bunch of other stuff that slowly but surely adds up. Since taking him on board and under my wing I've seen my operation grow even more, also, I'll still keep the "Junkman Dan" moniker here, but for all intents and purposes, I now refer to my scrap operation as "J&D Metal Removal" since it's not just me doing it alone anymore. It works because his first name begins with a "J," I could have called it "D&J Metal Removal" but it just didn't have as good of a ring to it as "J&D."

    Not only this but we have a utility trailer at our disposal too, as well as a new & improved sideboard setup on my S10, which I shall post pictures of at a later point in time.

    Hope it works for you. Good partners are hard to find.
