Thanks Guys for all the Insight and Help so far. I also agree its hard with just the small scale but for now we are getting a small lift for inside the warehouse to be able to use bins as they have said here. I am in touch with several bigger yards in the region who are interested in putting their roll offs in our yard if we agree to sell to them of course. we have been toying with the idea and will just have to see how volume goes but my Partner has access to big trucks so we may see how much more we'd net if we drive the scrap to South Carolina Instead of going through Gordon's or Davis scrap in Salisbury nc.
Tomorrow is the first full day I will keep everyone posted, I am having my partner go get our Purchasing permit from the Sheriff tomorrow, I want to make sure everythings 100 percent legal.
I also have researched a bit and believe the law is anything over $100 and any copper sales had to be paid via check.

Theres a lot of learning to come, But Im sure with your guys help and guidance I may be able to benefit other guys who happen to have the same dreams of running their own yards also.



I will talk with my Partner Tomorrow about the extended hours as Im a Painting contractor myself I know how it is to be racing home from a job to cash in a load of scrap only to see the gates close 15 mins early!..
I am also looking at different options for the scales, maybe a lease option is available. I know the drive on ones DOT approved would be cheaper I just want to make sure our scales are 100 percent because I used to hate being cheated and Im a Marine and do business with a Handshake and my word as a Marine I WILL do it right!

Keep the Ideas coming guys!
