Nothing like a big cheap out by the scrap yard 🏴‍☠️ Pirates

[@scrap2cash712]

lol pirates! I think they may have lost the ticket or something so they just guessed the weight

[@wooddog52]

Don't worry about the wide load...there's no license plate either...lol

[@scrap2cash712]

I was a bit concerned because the trailer its self is already so wide sometimes it just fits on skinny roads lol and there is a license plate on the trailer lol its just underneath so its not in the way as it tilts down

This just came up on my list. And I was literally just at the scrap yard yesterday, telling the workers the other scrap yard ripped me off also. I took a whole bucket of electric motors. Probably ten feet of bare copper wire. Several solid pieces of copper piping. The guy who is the owner goes 1 pound. I said that weighs more than one pound. He said drop off the light iron and ill figure it out. Well he hands me $16. I said I need a receipt. And he just sat there ignoring me. So ya, I got took. I'll use the other yard now EDIT. he also put it all on the scale together which I know isn't right

[@scrap2cash712]

yeah that sucks you got to be careful. Alot of scrap yards will try to take advantage if they think they can get away with it

[@cheryldarke8324]

You sure you've been cleared for heavy lifting? Are you hit with the surcharge like BC? Hope not. Bastages always trying to squeeze a dime more!

[@scrap2cash712]

yeah I got the clear to do heavy lifting a while ago now luckily Which surcharges do you mean? the pickup truck tax that are talking about putting in? lol

[@cheryldarke8324]

@@scrap2cash712 No. On every scrap run they are charging a "tax" like a surcharge. Based on a percentage of the load. Canadian Treasure Hunter explained it. It's a rip-off.
