    Short steel - long steel I know
    Yards do pick and pay on either the gross ton or net ton in the good old USA



    gross ton - a British unit of weight equivalent to 2240 pounds. the long ton is 2240

    net ton - a United States unit of weight equivalent to 2000 pounds. short ton is 2000

    This is a brain tease
