    Newbe 1st and 2nd load

    First haul was 2000 lbs of sheet steel a month ago. Well I took my 2nd load of scrap to the yard today, snowing. Copper 27LBS (they mail a check to me for copper), SS 82LBS, Alum 132 lbs and 1600 lbs of sheet steel. Found out my trailer weight is 3500 lbs MT. It is a home made heavyduty trailer, I just put two HD 6500 lbs axle's under it (had mis match axles under it. ). got the trailer for 700 bucks. Now to get to that copper and other stuff in my work shed. I have a 3 foot by 24 foot heavy walled steel pipe I need to get out and on my trailer too. Never knew how much I had in scrap. 4 big ele motors and a rearend from a old car.
