    You HAD to take the WORST angles for estimating the weights! No fair!

    But I'll guess anyway:

    Trailer: 10,000 lbs
    Can: 28,000 lbs.

    What the heck are the big monstrosities in the background? Presumably you are scrapping the old cable from them?

    Of course BroJer, the answer is always 42. It's just so hard to figure out the question.

    But it appears I don't "actually" knew what the Question is. BUT I do know the air speed of an unladen Swallow!

    not really. they have to get rid of it no yards here will take it long.
    we do however buy the yard hands that bring it in for us lunch sometimes (hell if they ain't busy and we have a pile cut they will help us load it)
    we do try to take care of the people that take care of us sometimes we will cut them in on big loads with a percentage of 10%
    its has to go somewhere and thankfully they call on us to make it go away.
