whats the most youve made in one scrap run.

here are my some of my loads. the second one is the 800-900 pounds of aluminum

i had a towbar that i modified with a steel plate to bolt to the bumper using the factory bolts on school busses. 2 hours, from when i showed up to when i had cash in hand. 10,000lb @200 a ton= 500 a hour. that was also my first % split that i ever did. the farmer was in the process of cleaning up to sell the farm, and was rather suprised when i returned and handed him a envlope. i figured 50/50 was fair since he wasn't expecting anything, and was still more than i was expecting since it was the magical pickup whare nothing goes wrong.

im still waiting on the magical pick up where nothing goes wrong you done great giving him the money, karma is your name and doing that kinda thing reaps rewards in the longrun

Close to $1000 in one load- mostly copper when things were real good. Now average a few hundred a load- mixed ferrous non ferrous, insulated wire and quantities of PC power supplies ( minus wires)
Sitting on batteries and copper pipe righ now for a while to see if i can score big again - the rest i have to keep moving due to space/storage issues.

$3000+ Multiple times lost count no Im not gonna tell you how

Broke my record the other day. $220. Mostly #2 copper and brass. Felt good.

Im not a pro myself but your doing like i used to. You should seperate that metal on front to back on your trailer. Take anything over a quarter inch thick and cut it into two foot sections. Then everything else sitck at the front as light scrap. Youll make a lot more. The Aluminum def. needs to be sorted through better as well.
Just trying to help. Good accumulation though.

luvin dat chick-magnet truck!
