Just an observation Bear. It's not meant as scathing, just meant to be direct commentary with a sweet quote a la Sirscrapalot. People bring what they bring, and yards take the load, request something cleaner, or lower their prices to reflect the market value of the lower quality loads.

Some contamination is inevitable and economically unavoidable. So knowing that contamination is allowable, people are presented with three personal choices: deliberately pad the weight, deliberately leave all the contaminants in up to the limit, or remove the "easy removable" contaminants to the detriment of volume/weight. These are business decisions each one of us make.

I'm not naive, and I don't put any weight into karma, but I guess by my actions I am willing to sacrifice a couple of bucks for my own personal standards. Not everyone feels the same, so your mileage may vary. No big deal. It's just steel and plastic.



I used to work in a food related industry, and the practice of adding bad to good to reach a certain allowable percentage of contaminants is an allowable and acceptable practice there also. It's the way of the world. I don't need to pi55 in anyone's cornflakes, I know what's in them. Bon appetit!
