    I'm only half paying attention now but to be blunt. I trust no board. Others can't understand my vision. They want $$$$ I just want to help others as I help myself. I could start 20 business for profit or non . Alast. I trust no one
    This country is noted for stealing ideas. Ijs God ain't greedy. Nor I. I get by.

    You just do what you do. Keep helping people and good things will happen. People here are getting too hung up on your business model. You scrap because you can and it helps people. That is all that maters.

    I have received phone call n voice mail telling me how my example inspired them when hopeless. How they restarted their lives and pay it forward for a better world. Them in tears....even now it tears me up at the thought I was a successful vessel for another. That's how love grows. My greatest rewards. The gentle souls I meet. I am the brawn for the elderly and the miracle for grandchildren. Lol they didn't get called to volunteer. Every one wins and I work hard for what I get . Almost every one satisfied. Many repeat calls. God is good all the time . I try to do the same. But I'm only A MAN .1SCRAP.

    Wow now I understand your position. After viewing your fb link I see you charge. Where I'm 100% free. And that big can your hauling. I see your fever. Gas alone gotta get a monster. I don't do trailer or cans (I'm chicken) though I did enlisted. 5 tons and less but no more. Lol maybe . Maybe ? Lol. Looking at your model your a bootleg ' junk it ' or other type business fake scrappers. Lol. Your walking a thin line. Get a real truck to match that trailer. Ijs I now get your drift. My reasons are not like yours . You are a 100% business. Got funding a loan ? Or a sponsor? Mine is only God and good brain power to do all day jobs for a kind word and a happy smile. My pay is a big smile. That says I did great. Some smile after I'm gone because I was 100% free quick and polite. I get er done . Maybe even whistle while I work. 1scrap . 1love.

    Update wow. Well yesterday I had to show a contractor I know how to dislodge and remove a cast iron tub . They swore it was steel.

    Then I had a trash job which loaded me up . I got lazy and hung out. Full on Sunday.

    Ok first, who the heck are you talking to? By you not using the quote system or directly saying who you are talking to, your post is kind of confusing.

    Second, why do you care how someone ELSE is running their business? You do realize that most of the people on this forum are trying to make money and pay bills/make a living on scrap? I understand that you are hauling scrap for people out of the goodness of your heart and not focused on making money. I have no problem with this and support you 100%, keep doing what you do. Please don't try and tell people that a business to make money is a bad or "fake" business. Also, saying that someone is a "bootleg ' junk it ' or other type business fake scrapper" is extremely offensive and rude. It's embarrassing to see a Christ based business attacking someone else for trying to make money, instead of being supportive. In reality, you are actually "walking a thin line" of making someone mad because you are making fun of their job. Just saying.

    In short, yes some of us may charge to haul metal and some of us try and make money on what you haul away for free out of the goodness of your heart, but that gives you no reason to attack other people because you don't like their business model.

    Ok man I hear you and feel you. I'm sorry. Didn't mean to come off crass or mean. I can't knock you only be glad for you. I can learn from you and just have. Although this doesn't show it lol. I understand. I'm illiterate so be patient. This is very hard for me. (To type or use a computer ) . What I can't or won't do I love to see other that are. It's like riding a motorcycle. Some question ....The wanna be . Riders just duck and ride. I would love a can like that . I just won't jockey it. I'd have to pay a driver. Nice thought . Be safe . I'm truly sorry if I offended. 1scrap.
