Sorry but I do believe the working at MickyD's but after reading thru a bunch of your posts, I just have to say that there's not that many hours in a day. I call BS on about 2/3 rds of what you claim, but that is just me. As far as New goes, she's taken on some challenges that I'm not sure if I would have taken on. She started out scrapping and taking advice from our more experienced and rolled up her sleeves and took on the job ahead. Now she's taken on a full time job in a scrap yard also, that takes hustle.

**Opinions expressed by me do not reflect on the Mgmt. of the forum but is my opinion only. And like they say, everyone has an opinion but some stink worse than others.

Well said mech.
He obviously hasn't done his research, or he would never have made that accusations about NA.

There is no set way to do everything.
I do it the way I want when I want.

You should practice what you preach,and research. Otherwise you'd of never said that about NA.

Huh? Sit down like I do? Say what? I clock 60 + hours a week at the scrap yard. Then I scrap Sunday through Thursday. So...how do I sit down? When do I sit down? I average 4 hours sleep a night.

Drum up business on back country roads? What? I can predict when folks will put their trash out? What do you think I should do? Knock on every door and say ''give me your scrap?''

That's not how CurbCo works dude.

And WHO said I pass stuff up? Don't steel prices suck by you? Being in the scrap yard busines I can safely say that if a yard is paying MORE than they make when the market isn't there they are not making money honey.

Also, do you think I am so stupid I don't check out prices at competing yards? Do you think I put all my eggs in one basket?

Finally, do you live by me? Do YOU know the yard prices for steel by me? At every yard? I do. And let me tell you, 3 or 4 cents a lb SUCKS no matter who you are.

have a nice day
