    Everyone uses checks. Cash is a hassel alot. Most yards have a bank backing them so they may not always have the cash on hand.

    HUH? Ca$H is a Hassle ???
    To me checks are the Hassle >> inconvenience, bother, nuisance, problem, trouble, struggle, difficulty, annoyance, irritation, thorn in one's side/flesh, fuss;

    I would think that if the yard has a bank backing them they would ALWAYS have Ca$H on hand

    Seems you have it backwards

    Yards in this area ALWAYS pay ca$H
    RAS pays with a check drawn on BOA that can be cashed at the BOA you pass on the way back to route 95

    I get your point. Anyhow, dropped off another load today and you guessed it, I got another check. The check cashed fine so let's see what happens in a few days.

    so they didnt have the funds to buy your material they should have never unloaded it. if i show up at a persons house after agreeing to buy a car and say something like "oh well i have $20 on me ill pay you the rest after i sell the car" how many cars do you think i would be able to buy? do they pay you interest for the time you are not able to access money that is rightfully yours? no.....

    I agree. Cash is trouble free. I worked at the yard I deal with. Bullet proof glass and several employees behind the glass carry a firearm ,which is visible to everyone. Very effective deterrent.

    Mine does cash as well... but the only guy carrying a gun behind my yard's bulletproof glass is the off-duty cop that's there the whole time the place is open.
