    My Dad just retired to FL , not too far from Tampa.
    This time of year EVERY year I always want to live there.

    The thought of making the same $ there as I do in VA, seems AWESOME!

    Last time I went there everyone told me "there's no work" etc.
    Makes me wonder If there's more scrappers, less scrap, but there's a bunch in my area anyway here.
    ...If my truck ran better I seriously would come down and check it out/build a new route, then send for my wife.
    Maybe after tax-time ...then I just may become one of your "regular" scrappers

    Gotta get back to work while it's still light out
    (I could stand even the summer heat, for the extra day-light!!!)(I don't work in the dark right now).

    Talked with my "pops" again down there.

    I am SET on moving , and Tampa is around 60 miles from him I think.

    I am moving there soon. Your prices look good, (some things higher than I get here).

    The rest are same, but my rent would be half as much.

    Dad told me NOT to move to Tampa until I research it a bit (Because "Tampa" is such a large area)...

    Anyway, still thinking I may become one of your "Regular scrappers" soon, besides I will be the best,
    with my new strategies.
    Shoot me a PM If you know of any good apartments there (nearby your scrapyard) please.
    I am going soon alone , to check it out.
    Thanks!

    Mechanic688 is 100% right. They do try to stay on top off it, but have a copy to always be sure.
    We will work on improving this too. ty.

    Ok cause I'm only getting .15/lb at onesteel, the only price im not happy with there. so im thinking about getting a good bit of weight in elec motors and making a trip down there along with some batteries and insulated wire since they pay a lil more for those as well.
