Why isn't the yard bare this month with the prices up I shipped a 1,000 gt already this month and still have two days and two weeks left to it? Do you have a rail siding or are you shipping strictly by truck? Where is your material handler at those piles could be allot neater and better sorted if you had bigger equipment. Those piles of cars could be 45 high if you stacked them right. Do you have a car crusher or logger/baler? Just some questions and opinions I have don't take it personally.
lol pistone.. I figured I would get some questions from you and yes those are 2 (actually 4) piles.. The plate is behind that big heavy melt and farther down is cast.. We allow tires if mounted on cars.. Truck tires we sometimes come to an agreement about. We haven't had a tire fire.. And the government picks up tires free here. We are still small so we only have the small deere with a magnet and grapple. And we only have trucking no rail siding. and still no crusher/logger yet, we hire out but I would love to own one. We are still too small to have the big boy toys but we are trying to grow. And the small heavy melt pile is smaller because I sent some loads out of it since I took the pictures.. I was sorting most plate out until recently.. our machine is small and doesn't have a long reach so I have to move it 3 times to get it to the other pile.. price vs time. And the 45 high.. We are pushing the bylaws stacking them that high for where I am. they are mostly 5 high through the center. We have grown considerably in the 2 years that we have been buying scrap.. And I have been buying non ferrous for almost a year as well.. without a warehouse. lol. Start somewhere.
