Partner? No. When they're driving in Thub's truck, that's not a partner, that's a sidekick!

We had a good time out there this run! I think maybe the absurdity of being out in such unwelcoming weather can put you in a goofy mood 😁

I was p stoked 😊

Oh he’s a legend, love his channel!

I did not like it

Was pretty blown away by the total lol

Truck ratings like that are the motor companies covering their butts. I have easily hauled 1500 pounds in my little 98 4Runner with a max weight listed at 800 pounds. Barely had any dip in the suspension.

@@vincedibona4687 l know you can. I was just making it funny. Keep having fun. Be safe

I was thinking that too! 😂 so much weight though. It was actually the death of my brakes, I blew a pad clean off and had a pretty big job fixing everything after I noticed, it was enough to deal with already lol

😁🤙 there he is!

Mostly plastic, light weight but takes up lots of room. I pass on them all the time. Only the all-“stainless” ones do I grab.

That’s my friend Jordan! He’s had a bit of time lately so I invited him to come treasure hunting. I think I’ll keep bringing him on if he’s into it, it’s been nice having company

I think I’d still take the snow over the heat you all go through! I’ve seen the melted bumpers and bins, that’s a tough go you have out there. If you mean the giant bin full of rims, that was their scrap recycling bin. I actually went in and asked if I could buy any aluminium ones they had but the boss keeps them inside and brings them in himself

@@thubprint oh ok

Not sure per ton, I was getting $0.10 CAD/lb

Please excuse me if I misunderstood, do you mean why did I not separate the pieces of wire and stainless steel boxes from those pieces and instead just threw the whole thing in the shred pile? It’s a mix of laziness and poor returns on the time spent. I’ve found wire is very time consuming and doesn’t pay that much. The stainless boxes I should have removed and sold separately but my space at home is already full of other things to deal with.

I don’t know yet 😆 someone in the comments does I’m sure

And also the way my yard works, the tin shred you jus pull in and go on scale they mark your weight then you go in back in dump then come back weigh in and then get paid. If you have copper and aluminum they have a dock with small scale. Just trying to figure out the prepared steel side of things

That’s the same as mine, I just don’t usually show the scaling out each time. It will depend on your yard because some have different grades of prep depending on the thickness but for me it’s anything greater than 1/8” thick and relatively free of contaminants. For easy reference I just think of the plug end of a 3.5mm headphone jack, if it’s thicker than that it goes as prep. Again though, ask your yard ✌️

@@thubprint thanks man! So you just tell them on the scale it’s actually steel not shred?

@@jimmywest7675 they just confirm what order I dropped things in, they watch everything through cameras anyway. I wish I could be more helpful but it really comes down to how your yard likes to do things. Lots of steel yards just call everything tin shred, it’s one of the reasons I go to the one I do

@@thubprint you’re a legend thank you man. Good luck on your scraping adventures. I just took my first two loads of shred in, there was some steel I didn’t know at the time, I got $196 usd first truck n trailer and $165 usd second truck n trailer. About $360 for both loads, I still have 10 refrigerators and about 10ish washers and and dryers. I consider myself a micro scrapper, I take everything apart to the last bolt. I have over 20 compressors to cut open soon, and I invested in a wire stripper, I also have about a truckload of clean / painted aluminum I need to sort. I’ve spent a bunch on gas picking all the stuff up, and initial investment, but I’m trying to start a scrapping business. Over here it’s 140 a ton usd for shred. I recently got into collecting the silver contact points off switches and such. I am good friends with my local coin store owners, they know the refinery, and said I can drop stuff off and get back either 85-90% I believe. I’ll have to talk to them again and see about maybe making some copper rounds or something too

I was thinking about that, no doubt purchasing bolts like those is expensive

Regular steel, which is magnetic, usually pays the lowest at scrap yards. Non-magnetic stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminum usually pay better.

​@@joesmith-es1zy thanks Joe Smith 😁 my scrap prices around here are 11 c a pound shred steel
