    The yard I go to has the the scale reading right outside of the driver's window on the building when you stop. Also does 20# increments

    Today I didn't even know if I got a proper weigh in or out or if it benefited me or the yard. The wind and rain were causing such a variation in weights that you couldn't get on it while it was zeroed. Oh well, still left with $30 from 220 lbs in clean steel.

    We are at 950 to 9 25 pre 100 lbs. One place recently gave me 8 dollars per 100 lbs on cast iron. I had the heavier round corner tub . Too late to reload. Not good business that day
