Im sure most of you have experienced it already... but WOW! I have told maybe 4-5 people in depth that I am scrapping metal and the calls are just pouring in with loads of stuff to pickup. I currently have a Sebring and a 4x8 trailer... I can pull 1.5k max!! BEAST! =D
Got a call today from a friend of a friend..?! I guess a friend shared info with his buddy at work has a full time job re fitting building with new sprinkler lines. He calls today and says he has at least 3,000 pounds of pipe that he needs "Off the floor and gone" and that Im getting the phone call because up until now he has had to pay to have it removed. He didn't care at all that I would have to make 3 or so loads... as long as it was gone by the end of the business day. He said its an active work site to wear boots and jeans ... and there might be some other piles of wire and sprinkler fixtures ready as well (the fixtures are brass!)
To make the story short.. I have not done more than tell a few people and I somehow am now tied up to clean behind a sprinkler refitting operation. No real reason to share.. I am just amazed at how things are progressing!
Looking into the truck/trailer combo if this is going to continue like this... I am 100% new to buying a truck (or a used car in general). From what I have gathered over the past month or so it looks like there is a 2-4k range for some decent looking vehicles with 175k+ miles... or 6-9k on a much better looking truck made in this decade with 150k+ miles. MAX Budget for the truck/trailer combo would be about 8k, but an ideal would be more like 6k. So if im looking in that older bracket of trucks (1996-2002ish with 175k+ miles) is there a certain brand/make/model that I should avoid? Any that run strong to 200k then just stop? Looking to tow at LEAST 8,000 pnds
Thanks for the truck/trailer help!
