    Well done! Any profit is a good profit when starting out in this game!

    Far as worth it go further for another yard...For me it is on most things. My main yard is about an hour from me, I have 2 closer ones between 15 an 20 mins away. Both have their issues tho. The one..their rude, don't pay as well, and very unhelpful. Plus the layout sucks. Second yard that is closer to me..their main problem..they pay low, and only open 3 days out of the week. I use my main yard an hour way, cause they pay way better then the other 2, all the employees are helpful, and most importantly...they treat you right, whether it s a trunk load of shred or 3 trucks fill to the brim with copper. If I have a small load an just looking to get the stuff gone, or on a time constraint I use the one closer to me. Otherwise I use my main yard. ( 98% of the time I use my main yard, unless its late in the afternoon an I won't make it before they close...so yea..rare I use the closer yard.)

    Thats how it works for me...others will likely disagree but..eh..treating me right is more important then the 10 bucks I'd save in gas.

    Your mileage may vary.
