My instincts sensed something
In the beginning of my scrapping endeavors I caught on fast enough but there was so much to learn . Under standing weight the feel of weight in your hands, your truck .
The yard I went to was not computerized in the beginning . you could not even see a scale . All receipts were hand written .
You just put your trust in the people behind the desk .So the green horns like me had no feel of weight all you did was put trust in the system .
& tired to never fight the scale people .
About 2 years ago it came out that some major scam went down .Two of the scale workers , would short weight customers, then a shill buddy
pulled up at days end with a load But his ticket had all the weight numbers on his ticket . Then 2 of the counter people would split the moneys with the Shill , apparently been going on a long time . Once the owner found out thats when the whole billing and weighing became computerized .
Well turns out the 2 counter workers now work at another yard & I ran into them . They used to be very friendly this time they look like they saw a ghost
they looked awkward did not even say hello really.
Then today it hit why so cold and embarrassed looking awkward . I was probably one of there victims
I Could not tell back then if I had 1000 or 800 NOPE !
that yard had 200 cars if not more per day .
I am pissed now I see they took money from my kids mouths . I loaded some kick ass weight and day after day by weeks end a loss of $100 I bet if not more . JERKS !

Imho eveyone is suspect and will take bribes :( i don't cheat to get ahead .Fair billing is all i ask. Honestly God is watching me cheat. Not a good look or practice.
