My yard started recently docking for tires left on the vehicles, got me wondering if this is a common practice elsewhere or not ?

My yard does, basically they deduct the weight of the tire from the total.
yep they all do
That sucks just started this, maybe 2 weeks ago.
mine does on farm equipment and trucks with 6 tires or more, 150lbs per tire, I can put up to 5 tires in a vehicle
Mine use to years ago
Now I guess they figure it is a trade off, They get as many good tires that they sell as junk they have to pay to get rid of
My yard charges 8 dollars per tire, but all the yards around me do it.
i think my yard does, i have seen them removing tires to send home with the scrapper
However, there is a pick and pull that is usually $20 or more per ton higher in the area that classifies it as "incomplete" and deducts for missing tires.
Were those tires mounted on Aluminum Wheels by chance?Quote:

my yard charges $2 for regular tires and $5 for big tires
