    Question Docking for tires left on vehicles ?

    My yard started recently docking for tires left on the vehicles, got me wondering if this is a common practice elsewhere or not ?

    My yard does, basically they deduct the weight of the tire from the total.

    Mine use to years ago
    Now I guess they figure it is a trade off, They get as many good tires that they sell as junk they have to pay to get rid of

    My yard charges 8 dollars per tire, but all the yards around me do it.

    i think my yard does, i have seen them removing tires to send home with the scrapper
    However, there is a pick and pull that is usually $20 or more per ton higher in the area that classifies it as "incomplete" and deducts for missing tires.

    Were those tires mounted on Aluminum Wheels by chance?

    Proper procedure in this area is to have the rims 1 lugged,
    Last lug was already loosened before going to the yard
    Then the Loader lifts car off the trailer, Pull the last lug, Rims get put in back of truck or on trailer
