Guess how many rotors! - Page 2

Focker-
Give "CatsPlus" a try, It is a family run business and they are the most fair and honest folks. If you don't know what kind of Converter you have.. they will tell you and pay you for what it is- you never have a feeling that "Did they pay me for "X" when it was "Y" .. It is the only place I sell too. The guy who grades Cats there (David)- he's amazing.. I once saw him take a stake bed truckload and literally just call em as he picked them up and tossed them into gaylords. He's dead on accurate. They are just good, honest and fair people all the way around!

lol, stop calling him focker.

What'd he ever do to piss you off?

Lol, anyway let us know how much you got paid, This is what I came up with from what I read and estimated that you would make 1500-1900$

I've never been to GMR.. can't say I've heard anything one way or the other until now. I know of them, know they do a lot of business.. I was introduced to my Core Buyer about a year ago.. same story here as with you- they treat me fair, good folks.. sort of like going to a convenience store- I can get a fountain soda at any of them, but I tend to go only to one- because the people are cool to me when I give them my business.. so I stay loyal to em.

Got Just over 930. 3.75 tons i believe at 250 per ton.

I can see fuel prices being a problem If you can only haul one, or two at a time. Around here I've seen these trucks that transport easily 20 cars, and trucks on trailers similar to this one. They smash them first though.

Thats a beauty trailer. But yeah even if i could crush em and stack em the MTO would have my plates pulled in a second. They have zero tollerance up here for loads that look unsafe. Iv seen em pull the plates on a friend of ours tow truck due to the fact that with the ebrake on, the truck moved when he put it in drive and floored it. Give your head a smack MTO man. if its a diesel it doesnt matter what kinda braking power you have its gonna move. We have a "line lock" on our flat bed, you can push the brake with both feet and engauge the line lock, that sucker still moves when under heavy power.

Anyways now that story times outta the way, if i hade a double car trailer i could probably build walls and stack em, that would make it worth it.

Might have to do what Gus did up that way, he had a long way to haul so he doubled up. Bought one of these, and could stack two, one on top of the other. Cost him about every penny to buy it but a good payday when he unloaded.

Yeah i read that a while ago. When i was writing my post I Actually invisioned the pic he posted of two cars stacked and strapped on that truck LOL we have a 2002 GMC Topkick C6500 flatbed at the shop but id be hard pressed to get bossman to double up cars on that thing. Hes very causious and paranoid (hit a snowmobile who flew out of a trail onto the road infront of him in MY dodge and HE is being sewed. He was not charged and is not at fault at all, but is being sewed. Figure that one out.) ever since then hes been super paranoied...

If it was my truck, id double up on the flatbed, then install a trailer hitch and double up on the trailer. That would be one heavy load.

I think if I did my math correct he got about $1.89 per on average
490 rotors AND DRUMS

at 7500 lbs at .125 lb

I'd take a nice $930 check for certain

Best part, all cash baby! Been thinking about visiting othet garages and offer to remove or buy their junk rotors. I know we had one guy come in and offer us 1.50 per rotor. I wouldnt offer that much though... Cant really lol dont have that much cash on hand!
