    Not my heaviest, but one of my biggest

    Loaded up one of the biggest, tallest, bulkiest loads I've ever had last night. I have a body shop I regularly pick up the steel scrap from. They had a guy taking their bumper covers before but he stopped showing up about 2 months ago. Naturally, the pile has been growing since then. So I started looking around for a place that takes them hoping they pay as well. Low and behold, found a place about 20 minutes away and the best part is, they pay 15 cents/lb. This is only about a quarter to a third of the pile. I'm close to legal height and my straps wouldn't reach around much taller. We'll see what kind of weight it is this afternoon. Based on how she drives and the bumper bounce test, I'm gonna guess somewhere in the 600 lb range. But that should put me right around a hundred dollar pay out. I'll take it. I'll post exact weight later today after the drop.
