Hello everybody

I'm fairly new to the scrapping game and have come across the problem of being in a rural area where people just don't want to give up their rusting machines or metals. How does a person go about getting full loads with ease. I've heard a couple people in my area making up to $400 a day just scrapping and when I turned in a bunch of my own yard debris (steel) I found out that it is possible, only the distance to where I am finding stuff is too far and not worth the drive. Any suggestions?
