    i hate it when folks tell me that kinda stuff,,,,,my favorite is when they insist you should water down the seats in a car....it seems like 50 different people have told me how there uncle used to do it that way and really put it to those yards.....

    i like my way better,,,i hauled in a load today...it was 5500 pounds.......i walked in to get paid, and dan says what did you have today wade....i said well dan it was about half shred and half short iron....he said ok half and half it is then.....



    when i got to my truck i noticed i was paid for short iron across the board,,,,i have earned a great deal of trust over the years...and i can tell any new commers that you will prosper more in the long run by being honest than you will by trying to cheat them for every little bit you can

    oh i will admit to pissing behind my truck door at the yard,but thats out of general laziness and not wanting to leave my tools un atended while walking 1.5 miles to the out house
