    Welcome to the forums from a sandbar off the coast of NC!

    1. Yep can do it full time. I went from doing it for extra cash to dropping my old business to doing this full time. I don't regret it, but your results may vary. As Mick an others said, quite a few folks on here do it full time. Some are really big..some are just one man operations like myself.



    2.Its up to you if you should do this full time. I would suggest starting out slow an ramping it up as you get the experience/knowledge to take it full time. It doesn't come over night, but it will eventually if you want it to.

    3. I don't use a truck or a trailer. I use a minivan ( there I admit it! LOL) an I wouldn't change it at all. I may get a trailer in the future, but no plans to move up to a truck. I prefer my van. Maybe someday but for now..the mini-van works for me. An yes you can use a car..you'll find several folks on here do so.

    Best advice I can give you or anyone else new to this is..Get a comfy chair, find a section of the forums that interest you..whether its regular metal, ewaste, cars, etc. An read that section from the earliest post to the newest. We have a bunch of folks here who take the time to share their knowledge in their particular field. So..read, read, an read some more. Nothing in life comes easy or without doing some background research. These forums will be the best learning you will get short of hands on experience. When you got questions, hit that search box, an if you can't find an answer or need clarification feel free to ask. /end sermon

    Good luck an let us know how it goes for you!
