    Had a driver refuse to load what was supposed to be going on his truck one day, wanted to dictate his own terms. Sent him packing with no load. He was quite put out with wasting the gas.. but I had the number of his dispatcher and let him know it was 100% on the driver.

      I’ve had a few guys refuse to load safely so I refused to load them. I might haul some sketchy stuff down country back roads but I’m not going to send a death trap down the interstate cross country.

    Hi Silas love watching your channel, always been attracted to scrap yards. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Bad Chad customs. He has a Utube channel also where he builds some off the wall vehicles. Right now he’s working on a build that resembles a old Texaco tanker truck. Anyway it has duals on the rear and the two front tires are narrow. I have seen on in your yard a set of front wheel spacers ( Not adapters ) but spacers that make the front wheels as wide as the rears. The ones I seen in your yard were kinda cone shaped and off a pretty old truck. But I think just what he needs to make his build work. He doesn’t know he needs them but I think he would be happy to use them. I know you’re busy and don’t have spare time to reach out to Bad Chad Customs but I know you have the ticket he needs. Thanks for the Adventure 👍

    fantastic work and a great video I can only imagine how stressful it can be both having so many deadlines for loads and all the car guys harassing you about saving stuff when they won't buy the stuff themselves. If it wasn't for scrap guys like you saving any of these classic cars and trucks we wouldn't have as many as we would. Keep up the great work Silas and this is one car guy who is on your side.

    Brokers & shippers can be A holes ,i once had 1 of my cars shipped by a broker from NY to LA & months went by & i got a call from some local PD & a rail yard in NJ that my car was abandoned there ,the broker basically took my money & abandoned the vehicle at a rail facility, ended up getting one of my friends who is in the heavy towing industry in Texas & California, he knew someone who literally hauling new & used cars for a living, he ended up getting my car from a back haul out east & took it with a load going to Vagas, then took it to LA a short time later ,the best part is that he only wanted $900 for everything, i did give him a nice tip though, as the other shipper,he swiped almost $2000 ,he ended up with several hundreds of other claims for doing the same thing & eventually got busted for Interstate fraud & other charges
