prices/profit

I have been hauling scrap for about 20 years and I feel the same way your friend does it is easier to make money at less per ton because I am able to charge people for the removal. I used to have over 50 auto body shops that I would pick up from like once a month to a month and a half at about 200 a shop with prices like they are I have not done a body shop in about 4 years. As well as the homeowner removals that I don't get because I will not pick up for free.

though i wasnt in the game that much back then i see it now. those were the exact things we said. i got paid to pick it up before, and while i have seen on here that guys still can charge to haul it in some places, that definately isnt the case around here. even homeowners are either starting to see that it is worth something or have someone they know that does scrap. and while the prices are great, the fuel cost sucks and i kind of miss getting paid on both ends.
