I started hauling scrap back in 1976 while I was still in high school. We used a cornbinder grain truck and every farm we went to had truck load after truck load of old equipment for us to haul. I don't remember what it was a ton back then but we were literally rolling in money. A tank of gas back then was like 15.00. I bought my first new truck (a 1977 gmc 4x4 fully optioned) for 7900.00 cash.
