Glad it worked out for you - there's still some decent folks out there!

the yards i deal with all pay CASH on your way out. always i even scrapped an old highway trailer once (14 000lbs or so) they pulled me into the back office and started counting 100's. what posible benifit could adding the complications of payment by cheque have to anyone involved? cash is king, if you cant pay cash you cant afford it, etc etc. paypal would make more sence in this day and age then a cheque..... i mean cmon

Everyone uses checks. Cash is a hassel alot. Most yards have a bank backing them so they may not always have the cash on hand.

so they pay cash for larger loads and make you deal with a cheque for smaller amounts? seems backwards to me.... here allot of them are in a booth behind plex with the register ive seen automated machines that dispense cash for material received on tv..... it would seem to me you would want the paper trail to be larger on bigger payouts over small to avoid tax evasion, money laundering etc but they do it backwards from my logic? lol

HUH? Ca$H is a Hassle ???
To me checks are the Hassle >> inconvenience, bother, nuisance, problem, trouble, struggle, difficulty, annoyance, irritation, thorn in one's side/flesh, fuss;

I would think that if the yard has a bank backing them they would ALWAYS have Ca$H on hand

Seems you have it backwards

Yards in this area ALWAYS pay ca$H
RAS pays with a check drawn on BOA that can be cashed at the BOA you pass on the way back to route 95

If they gave me a bad check once, shame on them if they give me a bad check again, shame on me! Did you ask for cash? I would of...

My yard pays in cash. Never seen them issue a check.

I agree. Cash is trouble free. I worked at the yard I deal with. Bullet proof glass and several employees behind the glass carry a firearm ,which is visible to everyone. Very effective deterrent.

I had the same thing happen to me here in Hawaii (not a yard), and it was for a very large company. So I was kind of like wow.. their check bounced?

Someone didn't put my routing information in correctly? Can't remember exactly what the issue was, but they sent me another check + fees.

Honest mistake!

so they didnt have the funds to buy your material they should have never unloaded it. if i show up at a persons house after agreeing to buy a car and say something like "oh well i have $20 on me ill pay you the rest after i sell the car" how many cars do you think i would be able to buy? do they pay you interest for the time you are not able to access money that is rightfully yours? no.....
