I have scrappped over 100 vehicles last year and i was still in high school so most of it was done at night and on weekends Also I didn't haul any scrap vehicles during the winter of last year and also didn't haul any during july and august. I thought this was pretty good. I averaged about $250 or so profit on every vehicle. I take off the alum. rims, catalytic conerters, alum. drive shafts, batteries, copper?brass rads. Tires if they had good tread. Also I keep and then re seel or use alot of treasures that i find in vehicles. I have found tons of tools and lots of nice cd decks and speakers, a prestone jump starter, 4 brand new pistons for a boat motor, and tons of change and money. Always fold up the back seat of cars and look under it. I always find change under it. I have found alot of other things but I can't think of them at the moment. If u can take pics of the cat. converters and I can tell u how much I would get for them. What I have found is best for finding cars in the winter is I go around and look in peoples driveways, and drive down alleys and look for vehicles that are pilled with snow. Figure out who owns them and offer them cash for the vehicles. I have already got about 30 vehicles ( 15 in the last 10 days) by doing this. I made $4700 or so profit in the last 10 days and only looked and hauled vehicles 6 of the 10 days. I found a driveway that had 8 vehicles in it and I bought 4 of them and am going to get 2 more in a few weeks.
I started out using my dads friends trailer and when i made enough money (in about 3 weekends) I bought it from him. It's a 06 22' tilt bed trailer with a wood deck. It came with a 4700lb warn winch and i just put a 8500LB Superwinch on it. I pull the trailer with a 2000 chevy 2500 gasser with the 6.0L in it. I love the 6.0 it will pull anything. I have pulled 2 fullsize busses to the scrap yard with it and also a 16000lb. flatbed farm truck to the scrap yard.
