The best scrapping truck is the one that runs and is paid for. Average size of the loads, distance to the scrap yard, etc. will dictate the size of truck you will need.
Mechanic offered the best solution based on the limited information you provided. Not knowing if you are old enough to drive makes it hard to offer more ideas. One concern I would have is placing all your eggs in one basket, i.e. girl friends father. If you have other friends that own trucks and drive you might offer similar percentage deals to them. The more avenues to transport the metal, the more flexibility you will have in the deals you barter.
There are several other young scrappers on the forum that have experienced scrapping from your perspective. If they chime in they may have better insight. Good luck.
