Sounds like you should open a yard, an save people lots of travel time, an put those other idiots in their place. I'm not fond of yards that do that, but if people settle for relish when they could have caviar I guess it'll continue to happen. Yards can low ball if people allow them to, stop using said yard, an watch the prices rise, even if just a little. If they are paying so low, then you need to look into buying other peoples scrap, an transporting it yourself to a bigger buyer. I know I would if I was in market that was being held hostage like yours.
That's just me tho, I've been known to do odd things now an then, an buck the system. Having to drive from Western MT, to Spokane, WA would certainly make me seriously consider the option of doing what I said above.
Good luck, an hope you can figure something out.
Sirscrapalot - It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. - John Steinbeck
