Does anyone come across negative comments about scrapping. I never really had pre conceived notions about scrapping before I became serious about it. I had an unabated attack today from a coworker of 16 years. I've never really even talked to him about scrapping. I'm guessing he has just seen scrap in the back of my truck.

Today at work I asked about some heavy iron skids used to transport machines. I've taken them before and they pay well. The problem is a warehousemen usually snags them. Long story short I asked a fellow driver to save them if he was hauling them tommorow. I offered to buy lunch sometime if he did. He said " if I needed extra money that bad I would go out buy a pickup truck and go through peoples garbage and and scrounge for metal". This was directed at me of course.



I actually got a kick out of it considering he needed to borrow 30$ the other day for an extension ladder he got if a job the other day, I also hauled home for him.
The irony of all of it is we make the same Chicago truck drivers wage. Yet, he is constantly complaining about money and its quite tiring. He called in 30 times last year and forgoes overtime when its available.

Do any of you have negative stories/ comments?
