I was shocked to be fair. I'd had a big clear up after Xmas around 240 mark. The last 15t will sweeten the deal

I should read what I write. That should have been than. At 300$ is about 180 pounds a ton. The scrappies must be making good money off of the metal right now. When I was unloading yesterday there was a pile of new off cuts. Every size a workshop could need. I offered him double what he paid but he laughed and said its worth more to load on a rail car and send to the ports.

This morning, got quoted £300/Tonne for heavy and £175 light, seems the scrappies can’t get enough!

"drive on the weighbridge", then before you can get out of the jeep, "it's OK I've got your weight", someone else just said to me today, next time I go, I am going to take a mate to go in the office and watch the weight.
Are you insuating scrap men are bent ?

many years ago, I knew someone who took a load into Hereford, but he had a weighbridge at home so knew the weight, it was significantly under, however, it was a wet grain bin, that was lined with plywood, and by wet I mean soaking! So, he didn't complain at all. I don't know the truth of the story, however, I was told it over bait and was chatting to the man too who lined the bin, and Charlie said the plywood was soaked too.
Sold this safe to Transit tipper geezers a few years ago. They were going to fill it with soil, snap the key off in the lock, and weigh it in.

What do you expect if someone tries to lift the scrap yard leg,
I never put in anything that would devalue the load,
Plus weigh bridge should be digital, so no altering the weights,

Never cheated a scrappy in my life & always been honest about the rusty crap I'm offloading, but there was an occasion where I allowed a transit tipper outfit to take some stuff without telling them exactly what they were taking. They thought that they were being clever offering a low price for the pile that included a heap of gym weights that weren't actually metal and a transformer housing that had already been robbed! The air was blue when the old guy twigged, but after he calmed down he had a laugh with me about it.
