    hey from texas

    New member here. My name is james, I live in Garland TX(suburb of dallas). Been scrapping for 3 years, but I've been picking up stuff off the street since I was a kid. I've learned so much lurking on this site. I just have a truck and sawzall now but I want to get like the big dogs one day and have bigger trucks, special tools and trailers. I see guys that have a 16ft trailer loaded with commercial ac units, transmissions and unique items and would love to get to that level one day.

    Welcome and I'm sure you'll take it to the next level sooner than later. You can pick up 12, 14, 16ft trailers on Craigslist for pretty cheap and just know that having that trailer will definitely pay itself off in just a few loads. Make whatever sacrifices you have to make to get that trailer (or the ability to haul more) and you'll thank yourself for it. Maybe even buy a junky one and fix it up for cheap.

    Best of luck to ya!
