with HDs selling at around .50 per lb w/o board I just wasted a week breaking down 768 lbs. (my opinion).
I kept the magnets and the writers, (no idea where to sell them) but the rest averaged well below .665 per lb at the yard. at 300 per week (hey I'm old) and .165 per lb difference ($126.72) difference. when you add freight charge and amortize it , it will be about $300 for the weeks work.
first they tried to class the cases as die cast instead of cast. the server rails were all classed as die cast even tho half were cast.
got .18 for the motors when they were closer to MLC at .38
I am not ready to send TL yet but an ready to send pallets and gaylords. sooooo if I can get my freight down a little I will not break down any more HDs. only got about 2000lb on board and 2 more loads coming tuesday
havent figured the boards yet in the scheme of things but I will analyes those this week and report.
if you are doing just a few lbs and need the money now disreguard.
some of you are younger and faster so for you, it may be worth while.
