    I see myself buying property, building a steel building, install a drive on scale, leveraging the scrap and hauling and buying roll off containers, going the retail route and building bins to place in stores. The sweetest part of the whole process will be looking back at when I had one truck with 300,000 plus miles and smiling.

    Ed Jackson, Amix Salvage started out with a pick up truck and a wheelbarrow in Penticton BC on IR land, today all his yards are still located on IR land. Amix Recycling is the largest scrap metal recycler in British Columbia with over 60 years of sales experience in industrial equipment and steel products.

    Slater Salvage started out without a truck working from a small piece of ground located behind a Foundry in Surrey BC. Scrap Metal Recycling and Electronic Scrap Recycling at Slater Iron and Salvage

    Rip Roche started out with a home build car crusher, no website

    Davis Trading started out with a hand cart rag and bone now into 4th generation family run business. Davis Trading & Supply Ltd. - Recycle Vancouver

    Captain Crunch two brothers started out from the home farm plot in Abbotsford BC. Home | Capt'n Crunch Auto Wrecking

    For a laugh Be sure to read the Capetian Crunch History, http://www.captncrunch.ca/history

    I personally think your goals a bit optimistic, it is going to take more than 5 years to realize your ambition. Especially the part of having 1 million liquid dollars at your disposal, you may however have a million in assets.

    A good friend of mine once told me it was best to work with the banks money, a good line of credit never hurt anyone.
