New to the forum
Just decided to join up after reading several threads here on the forum. I have a truck and trailer with sides and ramp gate and am starting to hunt for steel on big trash days. The last load I took in netted me 278 bucks. Took about 4 hrs to make that. So now I am thinking real seriously about getting into it with both feet.
There is a ton of information on this forum, and I would like to think I can gain some perspectives and knowledge from joining. Thanks for having me, and I look forward to spending some time reading up.

Welcome from the Dakota's. Jumping in with both feet is a sink or swim situation. It is what I did and never regretted the decision. You have some fantastic resources in this forum, their advice saved me learning the hard way many times over. Good luck.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Today I spent 5 hrs and received 233 for my efforts. Not too shabby. I know all days can't be killer scores, but on today's route I found a house doing a huge remodel. Stopped in and talked with the contractor, he said have at it. I loaded about 50 sections of tin piping from the furnace. Also 30 metal vents weighing 10 pounds ea. Pretty decent score. Took me 2 hrs to pull it from the dumpster and bout 45 minutes to load it all in the trailer. Also found a plastic 5 ft shelving unit at another stop. Gonna use that in the garage for lawn and garden type stuff. All in all not a bad day. Just wish all the snow and ice would melt faster, going around corners packed with ice is fun with out a load but trailer fully loaded is no fun ha ha, Thanks again.
