I go the other way- I try to clean my loads. I'll hose them down a few days before I load the truck. Most of the dirt is washed off, and I know that the yard gets steel, not junk.
I know the people at the yard on a first name basis. By being nice and honest with them, it goes a lot farther. I get free truck tires from him, and he doesn't pay me a whole $2 extra per load for dirt
I think I'm coming ahead with the tires alot more than the guy with sand is. Out here, steel goes for $0.05 per pound. If he can pad 100 pounds of sand in, he's made a whopping $5. That's pretty stupid if you ask me.
