If a job is to big or if you don't have the tools to complete it then you should walk and let someone else do it. That could have possibly been a good contact for future jobs if you had been prepared.

So true, I have kicked myself in the butt, each and everytime that I sold my 6x12 trailer, I thought I was done doing scrap metal, but I thought wrong, it seems like everytime I try to retire from scrap metal, I get lured back into it again, I have thought of renting a trailer, but I passed it up, I was looking at what it would cost me, lus what I would be making out of the scrap that I was hauling.
The load that I have right now is a mixture of stainless and steel, so I should make a little bit off of it, but I have learned a valueable lesson on this and I can garantee, that something like this comes up again, I will be ready for it with no doubt.

When I decided to start scrapping I already had a one ton crew cab dually with a 16 foot car trailer and winch that can haul a tractor. People do want it all gone when you get there. They will call someone else if you cannot get it done. I can haul a huge load and get there fast. Once people see how much I can haul they always have more they want gone like mowers and appliances. Sometimes their neighbors will drop by and tell me they have stuff they need hauled away. One call recently the lady had gone on Facebook before I got there and turned one stop in to seven. I had a full load from one call.
