Don't ever apologize for expressing your feelings that is what makes your channel real love the videos bud
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.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratchits always better to have a safe load, than to have an accident destroying the truck and load because of unsafe loading
Safety # 1
You are one of the hardest working guys I know. Enjoy your videos very much
You are the busiest man that I know. You are definitely not lazy. You make me tired just watching the video. Good work. You’re a good man.
Your human! That was the nicest UPSET I've ever seen. You put 125% into showing and teaching how real life and a business that make money continually. I would love to spend the day in your junk yards. Thank you sir for being a loving and successful motor head 😎
Most of the people watching these vids have no idea of how much HARD WORK running a recycling yard is.
It’s ok Silas, I know how stressful things can be, but it always works out in the end. People just needs to know it’s not easy to get everything done on time, just have patience! Keep up your awesome hobby man!! Thanks again 👍
Hats off to you for saving those classic cars and trucks Silas. You're helping to preserve our American automotive history one vintage vehicle at a time. 🙂
* Good episode Silas. Yes dealing with the public can be problematic at best.
I hope that it works out for you on the late pickup and you got to were you had to go in time 😊
Sometimes everything goes to the walls. But when everything works, it's so rewarding. You can't have one without the other. Your yard looks so tempting, here (in Finland) you wold be a millionare with that much old cars..
It’s great that your operation is set up so everyone makes money and is reasonably content with how it goes. Your helpers are second to none and that keeps them coming back
Everyone has bad days on the job, but those bad days make the good days just that much better
WHAT! you showed emotion. You must be human. Thanks for the entertainment.
Looks like you did a lot of work today. I hope your day tomorrow goes better.
All is great, Always hit the like button at the begining,Shows we all have those days, still would not miss an adventure
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 👍
Remember Silas it's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Your a 100% right about selling cars instead of scraping them . I would rather scrap a car than sell it any day it can be a nightmare . I could wright a book about it.
“Crush it an get on with life.”
Well said.
It will keep your sanity!
Silus, we want to keep it real so if the dung hits the fan, we want to see it!
Great vidio. and always remember: Its not a Perfect World.... stuff happens.
Thanks again for another great video.
You just wore me out just listening to what you have going on 😂
I don't know how you keep everything straight, so many different things going on,but you do a great job!
You haven't been watching very long.....he constantly forgets stuff, leaves tools at one location or the other, or losses track of what went where.
@@urbanurchin5930 looks like he does a great job to me
Hard working man! Amazing how you keep everything straight and stay on task. Really enjoying all your videos. Peace
Silas, I'll bet you're glad that day has passed!
Stayin tuned! 🤠👍
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.
Great video. It hard but you are doing a unique thing. Rest and come back again. You are trending to 100,000. Let Great it there . Been watch from you had less than 40k. Not sure how long ago was .
Small businesses are the backbone of this country. I had my own small business it's a lot of work but it's time I enjoyed.
Snowball effect one thing goes hay wire everything goes hay wire. But still believe your top gun with the loader unless your deleting more than you show haha. Dig your channel keep smiling brother 👍
P.S showing the stuff ups makes me chill about the ones ive made no one got hurt thats all that matters.
That was a nice looking ford that went out with that green bed
I like This channel content, but also Silas's work ethic ! 💯Keep em coming !
I never felt like you were taking anything out on me. You were just explaining things. At least that's how I took it.
Man that was a topsy turvy day for sure! I hope the axel guy kept his word or else he'll be sightseeing Kansas until Monday!
Nevertheless, we enjoy these videos because it's not always smooth sailing and you're doing really well in spite of the situation!
"I'M GONNA ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES" Well Silas you stayed in the ring, and though it was tough, you come out a WINNER !!!! I love your channel, It's on the top of my watch list From Downunder.
Silas,it might be wise to get your blood pressure checked sometime soon,just to be on the safe side.seriously.👍
Your only human don’t let that bother you thanks for sharing
I have just moved house. So I understand your stress lol. Great video again. I really enjoy the day in the life vlogs.
Keep your chin up my friend and don't let the small things upset you!!!! Your subscribers' enjoy the time you spend sharing videos ............ Thank you for sharing.
we all have bad days man , it's all good tomorrow is a new day
Hey Silas , you had a very productive day, got a lot accomplished!! Sorry it started out rough. Hope you enjoy your day off with your family, take care!
weather plays alot of performance in this biz
Very Cool!
Silas if I was to start a business it would be in yard like yours,I would recover engines ,of all ages inspect and run and sell as running but no guarantee,we are losing std strait four,six,eight engines that can be refurbished keep up the good work.
Wow , I missed the video earlier. I heard you say that those trucks are heading to Pennsylvania. That's where I am from. I am looking for a 89 Grand Marquis because I need fenders etc. My car has been all the way out to South Dakota and back and this year I was in Macon, Missouri
Thanks good vid!! Ahh we all
need to vent once in awhile👍👍 can't wait for the next one
Good morning
Nothing ever goes as planned but you thought the day. Good job
Thanks for sharing
You are a lot calmer than I am. I hope it all worked out and the weather wasn't as severe as predicted in your area. Only rain. We need rain BAD. You know, that '56 GMC I learned to drive in didn't have good brakes either.
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
don't worry about life happening Silas. If you only showed the smooth...would not be real. Keep on keeping on brother.
The sky is falling in the loader!
BTW, thanks for showing the frustrating side... I was wondering how any one person could be 100% upbeat all the time, especially in a seat-of-the-pants profession such as yours. Felt like that daily as a kid growing up on the farm at times. Same during my military career.
The older I get, the more often I find myself making the face you captured in the thumbnail!
Don't worry Silas, you are a busy man, no matter how upset you get due to work I will still watch your videos! Keep on crushing it man :)
Your mishap at the beginning made this an outstanding video, at least for me. How talented you are maneuvering thing’s. It was perfect lifting the bed off the truck, but when it tipped, oh know! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hang in there.
Mama said there'll be days like this, extra time with the kids always helps.
Hard working Guy !!
❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅 Love what you do fun to watch👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Somedays you have Great Customers, Somedays you just wish they would go away, and never come back !!
Hi Silas, one thing I have noticed at your place is that you seem to keep a lot of old truck cabs all over the place, why dont you build a rack with the scrap steel you have so you can stack them off the ground in one place. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers from NZ, Phil.
When I can figure out how to get 30 hours of work done in a 24 hour day, I’ll definitely do that 😆
Be safe.
I understand stress.
What can you do?
U gotta do what u gotta do good vid silas 😊
11:20, that was an F250 Powerstroke Diesel 4WD pickup.
Ouch.. Tough day, Bud!!
Thanks Silas for interesting videos. I'm in Sweden so I' guess most of them are old one's but that does'nt matter.
Life is life / good to know.
Very KOOL Silas
Don't worry you do well trying to plan out a day and tend to customers that turn up out of the blue. You can be a little flexible in your business which helps and still keep the work flowing through. You do well.
COOL! AWESOME!
Another great video of what you do and how stressed everything can be. Love your videos hang in there. I stay stressed out about trying to keep dad's place mowed . EVERY time I try to mow something stops me. I just got the parts for my tractor. By the time I get it together it be time to bush hog again !!! Sometimes I just want to quit ! Silas keep the great videos coming !🛻🚚🚚👍
2:14: TIIIIIIMBEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!
Yes Peace out
Oh man! I was getting exhausted and frustrated and all I had to do was watch 😅 enjoy your much.deserved day off!
Heading to Pennsylvania that's cool it's where I'm located I'm wondering if I can see those near me it'll be awesome to know they came from you love your videos
It's a rush to see you purchase material, prep it, and resell it. Watching it go out on a flatbed is icing on the cake. Suddenly I'm a vicarious scrap dealer.
Good job Silas , you are still moving the scrap
Ahhhhhhhhh poor baby you want art get some crayons and paper ! 😆
Tou were stressed today first time I seen that but all went well thank you for time and sharing was turffic loved it.
One of your helpers aught to get a hair cut.. from a distance he looked like Taylor Swift on a day off!
😂
It’s all go in the scrap world 😊
👍👌👏 2) But why call the dispatcher etc. if a driver doesn't do what he is supposed to do? I would only call the buyer of those old trucks. He gave the order to haul the trucks to him.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
That was cool
With all the electronics, computerized stuff and what not, there will never be anymore antique, collectible, classic cars or trucks ever made again
That was a wild ride! You are a EXTERMELY patient man. You only showed miffed, were it me? Ooh that would have been a fit, maybe not throwing things, but cover your ears for sure. Besides you hustled, like a whirlwind! And after all that, the Rockwell axle guy, talk about try your patience. Yeah I'd not be in a negotiating mood either. Hey that's a long ride back empty. I'd not usually be that way, but time, especially after hours, IS money. I just hope you got rewarded for all that patience, made good money on it, you sure deserve it. Best always!
A: it’s a business, not a charity and B:Why are these shippers such Divas?
C:Keep up the good work!! We appreciate you!!!
The old trucks age well don’t they
First time I have seen a load get away from you.
Silas, amazing what you do. Amazes me that people who never worked in an industry like yours can think they know better. Way of life I guess. Get job, as always.
Great work, hy from România
Great video showing how nuts it can get at times. Everyone has to vent once in awhile when dealing with stupid people. 😋😋🤣🤣🤣👍👍👏👏👏
Don't worry we all have bad days I like your videos God Bless and stay safe
You my friend are a hard worker, you always keep your videos interesting !
Great video
Yes you sure can't make any money selling a car for just a little over scrap price. It looks like you had way too much to do. Thanks for sharing Matt
Looks like a very productive day
hello everyone
Cool one 👍
Wish i lived closer I'd be all over that Willys wagon
Totally get that. I'm in NC. It's all I can do not to make a trip out there!

You’re not in business to save junk from recycling
You’re in business to make money to support yourself and your family.
Time is money!!!!
Ya people who say just get over scrap has no clue the time sucks they can be
