Talking of which, Im getting double per tonne, but how do I know that all of the tonnes were included in the calculation? Are they supposed to give you a weigh bridge ticket? My weighing equipment (boom out till all the lights come on ) said quite heavy, scrapyard said fairly heavy
140 /t for roof sheets yesterday

You’ve been shafted right up the wrong un

 

[grainboy]

All depends on where you are based, haulage cost and proximity to export port,
