They are paying very well for the effort. A first yesterday, they unloaded directly from the trailer into the gondola car. Trust is required because they could pollute the entire load if it did not meet their buyers specs.
Another example of the benefits is this load. It is all tin purchased as prepared metal. These were full sheets of tin smashed with the skid loader and rake.
This is a picture of a tie down method that is used on the trailers and shared before. One chain and cum-a-long provides three anchor points. Two chains and cum-a-longs secure the entire front of the trailer. This is the top view and you can see the anchors on the side in other pictures. The sheets of tin are added to ensure the wind does not take the load for a ride.
Another idea for those that haul with an open trailer. This is a soccer net provided from a school. It is used here to prevent aluminum cans from flying out. On top of the cans is some aluminum breakage used to further secure them. The advantage of the net is it's ability to deal with the weather and it's light weight. The disadvantage is when it catches on the load.
This is the entire load, prepared under sheets and six chemical totes full of aluminum. The cans are being sold at a very good price because the yard needs them.
