    Forgot to update...hauled the trailer body away last week. It scaled in at exactly 11,000 pounds. Yard paid me $.19 a pound = $2,090. I gave half of that to the owners. Still a heck of good weekend.

    I've always given half to the owners, then recently I went to a third and nowadays I'm offended if someone asks me to take their iron. Well not quite that bad but I'm also not pursuing jobs like I once did.

    I only do halfs if the money is right. Steel, no way Jose. Too much work for to little return. But on something like this it works out, and gets me more work. They're giving me another to cut up
