    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
