Seems to me to be a smart idea. I have always been paid by check so it wouldn't affect me at all. I take that back I used to get paid in cash by a scrap yard once when i was doing a job in SC. I couldn't believe it when I went in there and they handed me an envelope with over 12000 grand in it. Had to drive 500 miles home with it. I was nervous the whole time always kept checking to make sure I had it. Would have rather had a check.

I like how some people say just go to another yard or county. What if the county you want to take your material to is paying the most and they pay by check or you go outside the said county and take less money for your material and travel more. Is it really worth the time to not wait on the check? If you are above board and not a thieve why would this really affect you. I do understand the point though its like that commercial I keep seeing for get paid cash for your long term court settlements. Its my money and I need it now. So I see both ends of the spectrum but the wheels have been in motion on getting paid by check for about the last 10 years. I remember when number one copper was a 1.07 in 1995 and I was 14. Its been a long time coming IMO.
