The one thing Mike forgot to mention. Is that when you have a load on your truck and your trailer any weight after the rear axle is considered tongue weight. So if you have 500lbs after the axle in the truck and 1000lbs one the trailer tongue you can and will get busted for being over weight..
Hello Mike. You should carry your tools with you. I did the same thing in Ohio back 2006.I average about 25000 a year just pickup . I had 4 Plumbing shops 2 car dealerships 3 Muffler shops The Pepsi dealer 7 up dealer and when to farm auction .my name is Ed Miller from Ohio but I live in GREENVILLE SCNOW
I usually do. We just didn't put them back in the truck and I didn't check.. If the guy would have told me what I was picking up, he said there was just some stuff alongside the garage. And gave me an address.. And of course, he sends me pictures after i'm already there.. Then I realized I didn't have the tools I needed.🥺
People think we make a fortune doing scrap metal removal. Not the case. Plus you get jobs like this one where you were told one thing and its not the case your really helping a contractor out because you could of just left it let him lug it out woods and load it. Yes its free removal when im getting in and out and customer getting the mess out the way not having to load it drive it mabey getting pulled over. Then you get to places and they got industrial boilers that are the size of small sheads weighing thousands. Sorry being charged! 0And refrigerators and freezers I hate why people let food rot and not cleaning them out thinking its extra weight. Its a tough trade knowing your metals knowing weight knowing safe and unsafe stuff or even hazardous knowing rigging and strapping down load having right tools. I love watching your videos knowing others go through the same stuff. Keep husling my guy!
Bro when you were doing weight like you were doing it's not worth your time. Cost per hour versus what you're making. If you don't need to do it, don't do it
That's exactly what it is.. It's hard for people to grasp how much stuff I actually get. I could have a crew of ten people ripping things apart and still we couldn't keep up.
Wow, crying about me making a video. About having to work and wasting my time.. But the customer paid me two hundred fifty dollars on top of what i'm getting for scrap.. And it only took me an hour And a half out of my day.. Thanks for watching
Lol. When people call me about picking up scrapped, I try to get as much information from them to see what tools I might need.. If it's something I don't normally have.
