Being behind = Job Security Also as far as maintenance is concerned, that is one thing you absolutely HAVE to keep up with. When your truck or trailer breaks down you not only have a repair bill, you are also losing $$$$$, while the truck or trailer is being repaired. I know you are already aware of this, I just wanted to comment for the benefit of some of the newer scrapper's out there.

Why's it illegal in jersey? We get a lot of nice cars and have partnered with a mechanic and a body guy to maximize profits, so far so good. I can't agree more on the maintenance Best thing you can do

That doesn't make any sense,,

ramp style or HODGES style trucks are illegal in nj so are those operation repo style quick lifts cuz some idiot somewhere dropped a car off and the state went holy ****

That sucks, all sorts of tie downs on ours, we still use the trailer 9 times outa 10 and drive the tow truck to lunch mainly :)
