I just got into scrapping a few months ago but having to go to the scrap yard all of the time got annoying. I have a 1997 chevy s10 so i have the choice to go to the scrap yard all of the time or keep loading/unloading it to make room for new scrap. in order to always have an empty truck i decided to buy a 5x8 trailer to store everything. long story short today was my first trip to the scrap yard with about 1350 lbs of tin. on the way there i heard a noise and felt the truck jerk a little bit which caused me to look out the window. when i turned my head i noticed a tire come screaming by me and start bouncing in the on coming traffic lane. I thought to myself, hmmm i never put a tire in my load and then it hit me, the tire fell off my trailer. it turns out that not a single nut on either tire or bolt on any of the u bolts were more than hand tightened. Horrible first day driving and using a trailer !!!!!!
