    Yea, definitely want to check with the bossman before quoting or posting any law. If a place of business doesn't POST somewhere where the public can read it that they the business has the right to refuse service for any reason then there's a possibility of litigation.



    I have to keep pictoral and inventory records now of incoming scrap, locals, pickups, packages...I am wondering more and more if I am breaking the law accepting out of state scrap without a copy of a government ID. No real clarity on that on our law books.

    NA- What I meant was business to business scrappers, like wrecking yards, heating and cooling companies...people who might have an account of sorts with your yard. When someone comes in and says to put it on so and so's account, or an account number. To get an account I already provided identification, all the vehicles make/model plate numbers, names of the people who are allowed to bring scrap under my account and so on. It's held for 45 days I believe then paid. So every time I get an ACH deposit it's on scrap that's 2 to 3 months old already.


    Either way, I am actually a little surprised the yard you work at isn't already doing this stuff. There are ways to make it faster, generally speaking encourage CB use, take advantage of our habits. Computer systems should record all the information and save it after the first time so if you have certain software, it'll get easier once the regulars fill out their information, then its just a matter of an ID swipe. I do hope it goes smoothly after you've had a chance to work out kinks this next week.
