    Let them think what they want. I keep a clean truck and a professional manner. At the very least, scrapping allows me to bring my dog to work with me. I'm too busy trying to keep my truckbed full to really worry about people's perceptions. A scrapper with a thousand bucks and a surgeon with a thousand bucks are just a couple of guys with the same $1000.

    I agree! Personally, scrapping metal is a bit more sanitary in my opinion...just sayin!

    I am new to scrapping...this is my 3rd day. I don't know if I'm having beginner's luck, but we're doing really really well

    You sound like me ScrapperGirl. First day was $150...second day was $350, third day was $420....and so on.

    Check out some of my threads, on ideas where to gather scrap metal.
