I'll clean, separate, load, transport, and unload your material for let's say 20% of the final take. And hey , just for fun, if the load brings $2k or more, I'll buy you lunch in two weeks when I come back to take care of the next load... and if it brings in less than $1500, I'll let you buy me lunch. Sound like a deal?"
Say I was the business owner and you came to me with that proposal. How will I know I got my money for the entire load?
"I'll bring a receipt".
Okay. How do I know you didn't keep some metal back for a future trip and only cashed in half, or 3/4 of the load?
I hate being negative, but having been burned a few times I really don't trust people.
