    Simple - Break each into $xxx per pound.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Ok
    pick how you want to be paid
    .12 per lb by the gross or .14 net ton
    seems that yards like to pay out with net as you think it's better, I see now that .12 @ gross is better pay then .13 Net
    last week i was paid .0864 gross week before .0872 that small difference means a lot to them, As so it should be with us
    --------------
    I guess the best way to figure, is go to the yard that pays net with 100 lb . Then hit up the yard with 100 lbs that pays on gross that will be the conclusion .
    --------------
    I suspect they can mix and match and weigh you in and pay out to there bottom line need
    --------------
    An old joke was what is heaver a ton of gold or a ton of feathers
    answer is : feathers cause gold is weighed based on short ton
