    40 miles each way to the scrap yard.

    Not worth the trip in my own vehicle at 20 per ton.



    I use roll off bins to haul my scrap but it cost me $150/hr for trucking-at 20 per ton will only get 100 per bin-won't cover the trucking cost.

    No way I can keep scrapping don't forget the cost of travelling to pick up scrap at customer's place as well as hauling it back to the yard AND time spent sorting.

    There a reason you're using a roll-off? I would think at $150/hr, I'd find another alternative. It's crunch time: when prices fall, eliminate as many extra costs as possible.
