    So we need to find out who has industrial properties throughout the country. Who has excessive vehicles for hauling what we all need hauled. Who is working on the time-traveling angle of all of this? Speak up if you can fix any of this thread! Now!

    If you're able to, find a scrap cube van. Those boxes are great. Water tight, (usually) and you can lock them. We have one, 3 van body boxes and one old atlas van lines trailer.

    As for what I need? A new Trans, would love a 5 or 6 speed... and body work for my truck, and also, less retards paying 600+ bucks for scrap cars!!!!!!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    All day long you could be answering the phone "Alvord iron and salvage" instead of who your answering it for now.

    I am going through growing pains... I've been needing a roll-off staged at my shop but I think I got that nailed down today!

    Realistically I need a plastics buyer or even acceptor in a two hour radius and a box truck

    Unrealistically I need a goat that only eats CRT glass and a portal to Ohio...

    I need a work shop with a lot of storage space. I think my scrap has been multiplying by itself. In the past three weeks I've been hauling three truck loads out to every one load coming in.
