Took a small load of scrap in today. 320lbs. After unloading I went in and the owner handed me $8.00! That's $2.50 per 100lbs. He said that scarp is now a global market and the strong dollar means the US is importing scrap from India and elsewhere. He said it will go even lower. He only had one guy on duty and the yard was virtually empty. Let's see, at $2.50 per 100lbs, my truck at 5,320lbs is only worth $133. Yikes!
