    Cool Tuesday Load Better than expected

    Today as usual , woke up went to Mondays route Tuesday morning , found three fellow scrappers that were already doing their route. Found two of them in the



    route Im always sure to find something , so without any hurry I drove around , couple blocks into the route . Found a guy with a van loading up a grill getting

    help from the owner a lady and were parked in front of her house . Did not find anything at all , drove around 30-40 min and did not find a NAIL on the street.

    Decided to come home and load the other truck with the metal from Mondays morning route. shy around 1,000lbs . Got lucky and found a lot of aluminum and

    motors . Might post new thread with pics to things I have gotten from the yard. Such as aluminum, motors , and wire. We went around our usual scrap metal

    spots, found a vacuum with two motors , and a water heater. Easy $20 , got home and ate , long story short I drove around after eating for about an hour or

    so and got lucky . I use my school truck while I find an extended cab truck on craiglist but it just seems too hard to do that anymore , got about id say 600lb

    all together not too bad . My dad brought one of em maytag washer , and a bunch of brass. Easy $100 bill for us today going to load and take a trip

    to the yard in the morning.
