I have made over a grand in a day with scrap metal.....Granted this is with a specific job set up and the metal is ready and just loaded and hauled....This type of job takes prep, planning, and of course money and equipment.....Anyways good luck and remember I haul with a long bed pickup and a 20ft trailer which I have hauled up to 5500 lbs of metal safely with this setup

When I first started out I thought I didn't have time or space to deal with steel! I would pass it up and look for the "good stuff" Alum, copper, brass. I make more money now with picking up steel. Steel contributed 55% of all the cash I got last year! And it was 87% of the weight LOL
