Hello everybody, Good day to you! Welcome back! Glad you guys are here! I'm super glad to be here. We're gonna do something a little bit different today. I Had a couple appointments, fail to make their appointment and uh and I'm a lot of stuff to do for the day. So we're gonna hop in the Silverado and do some housekeeping and what I mean by that is.
We got Troy over there on top of the scrap metal trailer, loading up another scrap metal trailer and we're gonna haul that trailer in. So let us restocking or stopping the engine on our 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Let's put six six Duramax and we're gonna go hitch up to the dump trailer. We're gonna haul that stuff out of here. so stay tuned because this is gonna be a very good video opening.
Z Hoods This is our brake rotor. There was a great rudder. oops, look what? I did I brought it back to perfectly and I didn't give myself space to pull the lock off. the uh, the tongue.
See that? It was like right on. Oopsie pulling forward two inches. There we go. that was a little bit more than two inches.
Come here. these are these are more of a deterrent, rather open fall lock gravity. There we go. There we go.
Oh it's so glossy. see: chains, chains, chains. How do we? It's not right across them. Latch him chains crossed.
That's how it's done. Get on there. I Need power for our brakes and lights and uh, to charge the battery in the dump? Watch this All right. Pre-trip inspection: Everything's contained inside of the trailer tires.
Good. That tire is good. This stuff's not going to fall out. That's not going to fall out.
Doors are latched. Let's see that's not going to fall out. I Think we're good here. Yeah, that's about.
it's. pretty good. I'll go with this. All right.
let's hit the road and get out of here. We got to get this. uh. this junk unloaded.
Foreign. Well, that thing's not as heavy as a load of gravel. but it's a it's pretty heavy back there. We're gonna operate in tow haul mode today.
Trailer Light: That means we're until All mode. Tow haul actually is not anything particularly fancy. What it does is it lets the uh it extends your shift points in the transmission. so when it would normally shift to like 20 miles an hour, it'll wind it out to like 30 or 32 and then it'll give you your shift and each gear is uh, is spread out a little bit longer.
Oh, that's funny I was talking to you and then I heard my phone talking down there and I was talking to Cliff Notes So I guess I think I lap dialed Cliff we are approaching downtown Sarasota we're not going into town. The scrap metal place is. uh, it's off to the right of one of these Lanes roads or whatever I think it's the next light down there, but uh, this scrap yard. I Guess they have a scale so we're gonna be quiet.
Series So we're gonna pull the truck out of the scale. They're gonna weigh the truck and then we dump the trailer off and then we come back to the scale, re-weigh the truck, and then they pay you the difference in whatever. uh, however much weight in the metal that you delivered for recycling. Turn right onto Myrtle Street Siri said so for Google or whichever robot servant that is I don't even know which one. it is a wide right turn in a quarter mile, your destination will be on the right. Thank you I Think that's it. Yeah, that's it. Look at all that drunk files everywhere.
Your destination is on the right, destination is on the road. Let's see here how we're gonna do this. Yes I Guess that's it. Yeah I'm gonna go in the office.
they got a scale right here. We'll wait until that guy's done. I Think it's our turn. just went through some kind of a scanner.
See that thing? Yeah I Feel like radiation? hello telephone somebody from Arizona I Don't know you? Yeah I Think what they do is they'll uh they'll take up all the stuff these cars and whatever they smashed and everything they take in. they loaded in those big bins, put those on a truck, and then take those to another yard that has like the big smelters, you know, the giant pots or whatever. and I think they melt it down and separate. it goes to other facilities for like additional sorting and then they of course it gets reused.
I think I've received security clearance. we've been scaled so I guess I'm gonna pull up and then hang out until I think I'll wait for that. uh that AC van to get out of the way? No no I can squeeze in. Yeah yeah.
I think I'll just back right into that hole right there and dump. I used to work on those vans. see that one says Precision yeah I did a bunch of intake manifold work on those things. Thank you.
Swing that door. You gotta hook that door and see a little Loop right there. You got to hook that up good. All right.
come back forward over here. so then pop this guy open, lock it in, lock the valve. gonna hit the button. Sure run it up.
Oh that's heavy. Thank you. All right, get in there all right cool. let's go back to the scales.
Hot! I Made a mess in my trailer. You should have seen the smile in your face. You were just like that's cool. That was nothing loud.
We even got a compliment from the AC guy. Oh yeah, what do you say? Okay, that's the way to do it right. That's the way. Yeah I Do not want to pick it up twice, just dump it once we still have all that aluminum.
uh and that pile of batteries. Do they take batteries here? Yeah, they'll take batteries Yep. I Came in here once I had an entire truck bed full of batteries and they said uh yeah, we take batteries but they said they'll only take two batteries at a time and I go Why? and they said it's like their new rule because people, uh, were stealing batteries like from Walmart and then taking them to the recycling place to have them recycled to get uh, scrap value out of them and they said without proof of ownership of all the batteries now keep in mind these are like I had two sets of golf cart batteries, two sets of batteries for this truck, a set of batteries that came out of a boat, and some batteries that came out of an RV and it they wanted proof of ownership of all these batteries and I was like I've been collecting these things for like three or four years saving them up in the garage for to just take them all in and they're like yeah, we need paperwork so I had to they say to either receipt or like company letterhead or whatever that said uh um that those are up for recycling So I went back to the shop, went into the office, went onto the computer, made a work order with the company letterhead that said Ray is allowed to recycle these batteries on blah blah blah date from blah blah whatever. Printed out an official repair order I signed it and then took it here. and then they recycled my batteries. It was the the stupidest waste of time ever. All because people crackheads are stealing batteries from Walmart and then recycling them which is gum we're on hold. See the the hand? Uh oh oh.
I think he's back in that other truck up here before me. That big truck. Yeah. I think that's what they're doing now.
we got I got this big truck behind me I think he's trying to get on the scales too. Yeah, yeah, he's backing this dude up here first. I See what we're doing? Smart move because he was never going to swing that corner to make this scale. No way he'll have to back down over there in that parking lot.
Straighten up, they're leaving I Think it's my turn now. Yep, yeah. I wonder what this thing does? Is that like a detector potion sensor? Wait for my paperwork. Thirteen thousand and eighty pounds empty weight? That's uh.
truck trailer. I Don't have any fuel in the tank in the back? Maybe just like 30 gallons? 13 000. Okay uh, that was 240 dollars in Ferris scrap steel. I Mean man, that was like 3 000 pounds of steel.
Yeah, scrap life must be a hard life. No thanks. I will stick to my job. All right, let's get out of here.
We have to go back to work now. Enough screwing around trailers noisy with no load in it. Oh Steve Okie dokes we're pulling in I'm back in the trailer, back up to where I had it in front of the other trailer and then I'm gonna unload it again and then around unhitch the trailer again. Then eventually we're gonna get this stuff loaded into that dump and then we can haul that stuff uh, off to the uh, the scrap yard as well and get some of this mess and debris and whatnot clean up out of here.
But I'm Gonna Save that one for a uh for another day and another trip because I have a we've done enough. So that being said, I'm gonna go ahead and figure out how to get this trailer turned around doing like a 40 point turn and uh, we'll close this video out. So that being said, as always like thank you guys for watching this video. Hope you enjoyed this uh, kind of behind the scenes not actually working on cars type of video. If you did enjoy this video, please feel free to let me know about that by tap that like button down below. Drop me a comment or two while you're down there. And most importantly, don't forget to have yourselves a great day! See you guys later in the video in a transmission in the Scrap metal run foreign down, they're unpinned, unlat and on the ground. Thank you.
Gravity Chain. Gravity. Foreign.
Ray – pls. don't take this the wrong way, but it seems that you're missing an opportunity to do some final detailing (cleaning) as you're buttoning up things like an engine cover. I concede that a little extra "spit and polish" doesn't make anything run better, but when the primary work area cannot be seen, some evidence of cleaning sends a clear msg that you spent some effort in there. Great content as usual. Thx.
You can take batteries to O'reilly's and get $10 gift certificate up to 5 batteries a day. Thanks for the upload
Dumping off that fuel tank and freon cylinders would get you in trouble around here.
I scrap. But its at my conveniance. I dont drive around searching for it.
I just cant see how driving around makes money. The miles on vehicle and the FUEL!.
pro scrappers make a killing. its all about knowing what to grab and what to leave.
first walking out to dually of yours..
is that a camary convertible? wow.. never seen one ever .. prob cuz i live in Massachusetts 😆 🤣 😂 but nice
You have a werry nice and cool trailer 😀 wich we had that cind of trailer in Europe.
You got a nifty ball lock for your trailer but you safety chains will make a great substitute if somebody wants to wrap them around their own ball hitch to drag your trailer out of your possession. My safety chains are attached to my trailer with threaded links and they get removed and installed for each trip. Takes about 2 minutes per side!!
Ray i sa a couple of converters in that pile…. most of those are worth quite a bit more than scrap.
Leave the trk on the lift un- bolt the bed etc"" lower trk lift bed up & make your job a lot easier
why is your boy wearing black jeans boots and 2 shirts in august in florida?
tell me he's mentally disabled and ill stop making fun of him
The big white things on the side of the scale are radiation detectors to keep radioactive material out of the yard I worked at a scrap yard for a while and we also had a rail way scale and every once in a while a passing train would set off the detector and it would sound an alarm
Lol am i the only one that saw those spiders running for cover
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
yes, trailer is the "cats meow"!!!
The sensors on the scale are radiation detectors. they have them at all land borders entering the US from Canada as well.
How did you get that gas tank past the scale guy?
Nice one ray ray. It's fun watching you doing ac
Before I retired, I did the car scrap rap and yeah, you can make bundles of cash bro!
Another great video thank you
Sort your Rotors and springs, heavy iron pays more and you a lot of them.
you just entered flat tire city. just gotta love a good scrap yard
The name of that spider is the golden wheel spider, and yes, they are slightly poisonous but not known to mess with us and are just rolling cool to watch. Good diagnostic, you still have "THE LIST" so you can scan again. Administration manager 🙄 on the gas peddle? Good job 2all. Change the thermostat! Your cooling system servant 🥶 🐲
Yup, metals and paper are best for recycling. I am not a shop but do a lot of diy stuff for others, rotors, metsls, even small parts like alternator or pumps, toss them in a barrel and take it to the scrap yard when full. Could make $30 on a shirt trip. Putting aluminum parts in a different barrel brings more money.
Waaaa! No Gravity.
The elevated cab of the claw tractor – very skynet-like =)
15 years ago scrapping paid historic high rates because China was buying. Now not so much but having bigger amount is still worthwhile and it makes sense to get paid rather than having to pay to dispose of,
I scrap things out but more for recycling than actually making money…if you figure your time,it’s not really worth it..but I prefer to things being reused vs thrown in landfills
Seems the kind of place where you are almost guaranteed to get a tire puncture.
I think the sensors on the sides going into the scales may actually be radiation detectors, to prevent orphaned sources causing contamination of the recycled metal.
Make sure to separate aluminum from steel.
The scrap yard should know the difference between a new battery and an old one. So they must know the new battery is stolen over a used one.
I don't see how someone could steal a battery from Wal-Mart. Not that I would do that.
Thats what we call the power button on my Australian made sedan .Also it is manditory to secure & cover your load in AUS no matter what it is .(but then again common sense reins out here.)
I like the "YouTube Trained Mechanic" sticker on the back bumper, Ray!! nice touch!
i did not see any brake clean cans in there
This is same scale JH Diesel was couple videos ago💪💪
👍👍😎✌️🤟
There’s a lot of money if you own the scrap yard & equipment; family friend owned one in Salem Oregon, retired and as Billy Currington said: he was a millionair-E
😉
You do stuff on a scale over there. Crime as well – my local supermarket has taken to putting security tags on the plastic shopping bags to stop people stealing them. I mean what the hell,
Pre trip 👍👍
You should give Troy half of what you got since he loaded up the trailer lol
Sure Ray only got $240 for that scrap and could earn more working in the shop but he has to get rid of the waste from his job anyway so may as well make a few bucks for his time and gas used.
New headliner is the next upgrade.🤣
You can take batteries to auto zone, advanced auto and get 10 bucks a battery, They will recycle them. It would be for store credit.

Here in New York my buddy does this full time and makes like two grand a week. But he just doesn't scrap steel he scraps copper copper wire and he has a lot of contractors and electricians that give him all kinds of shit every week. He takes it's time stripping everything clean so he gets top dollar
Hey, It may buy you and your employee a nice steak dinner!
Judging by some of your previous repair videos, I'm surprised that there was just the one PT Cruiser on the scrap heap.
Anyone else just want to drop there shitty 9-5 move out to bfe where ever ray lives and just kick it and work on cars all the time? or is it just me??
If we get caught on the road without a load cover, we get a major fine.
Well you made enough to take Lauren to a nice restaurant and pay the baby sitter.😁
You don't hook up your breakaway cable for the brakes on the trailer?
I usually have enough junk to go to the scrapyard once or twice per year. Steel and iron pay very little. Copper and pop cans pay the best. Aluminum (other than cans) pays ok, but since aluminum is so light, you need a lot to make it worth your while. Still, it is still better than nothing, and is much better than throwing stuff away. BTW, when I take steel, I take everything-old nails, screws, scraps of steel cut from other pieces. It may not be much, but it adds up. (A couple of shops I worked at even took the chips of iron from turning drums and rotors- a bucketful gets pretty heavy)!
Did like the change of pace and the howto of shop metal recycling
Shouldn't the pre-trip inspection include verifying that the brake, tail, and stop lights work?
You forgot to mention ( at least on ford) it enables engine braking. I have a 2022 f550 gas and i use engine braking most of the time
I thought they was gonna fite sombody
I thought they would use an electro-mechanical magnet to unload your trailer. That would have been more fun!
You have to separate the metals.
If you scrap for 'all metal' price, then you'll get shit for payment.
3 small, window-unit air conditioners will scrap for $200+ if you separate the metals.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong but the scanner Ray went through i think it's a radiation detector. The scrap yard i go to has the same thing
You need to cover your trailer
Scrap yards are definitely an interesting place. All sorts of weird stuff ends up there.
I did exact same thing scraping metal and aluminum here in Texas. Place had a chopper that beat everything down to golf ball size or smaller
Used to have to haul scrap a couple times a month at the old shop I worked at. They made pretty good money off those truck loads of metal. It was usually a couple hundred dollars per load. Well worth recycling your metal. Every little bit of money helps when you're running a business.
scrapping metals is worthless now. I remember a few years ago I filled up a ford ranger and took it to the scrap yard and got close to $150. a year later I took a dodge ram full and it came out to weigh more than ranger, but I got around $50 at which point it was pointless. so from now on I just call my thrash company to pick up any large metal items that I'm throwing away.
The company i work for owns a bunch of other plants. I know they are as far south as south carolina
Why aren't you using the breakaway cable on your trailer? Looks to be zip tied up to the side of your trailers tongue.
We recycle alot of wire for where i work in ny
Ray scrapers wait until scrap prices are high. Right now, they are really low.
That scanner checked you & your load for radio activity.
!
Nice change of pace in the video content.
I dont know how far you have to go but could you put a tarp or a strap or two on your loads for safty reasons and those big white box's are scaners for radio ative matterials
Used to do that in college and always loved seeing the random cool sh** you see at scrap yards.
We love all different kinds of videos you make
That's a radiation detection device
for a moment…I thought that crane was tearing the 18 wheeler apart.
Scrap price is in the toilet right now but its probably not worth the bother to hold on to it.
A day with Ray at the scrap yard and not a can of brake kleen anywhere in sight.
Scrapping is worth it depending on how the prices are really. Every yard offers different prices for everything. Most yards are willing to pay more for copper and brass. 450 pounds of copper and brass can be $700 at the yard I go too. Just depends on the prices, what your scrapping and how much of it you have.
They also don't charge for nails/screws you take in your tires.
Yo ray you have to separate the tin/scrap From the short iron. It’s a huge difference, it would’ve been over 300$ if so. I do this for a living and been making 300-500 a day and that’s working 8am-1or 2pm. Not full days, but during better weather days I can work 7am-7pm and it’s easily 1k a day.
Edit: including cats
The black box with the cable on it is your trailers emergency breakaway brake, and should be hooked up to the truck as well. We use a keychain caribeaner and hook it to the safety chain pocket.
Yup nice dump trailer
I believe that is a radiation detector at the front of the scale.
Operating that crane is fun for a few hours
It’s the next 40 years that are a drag
Wont you get more money ray if you sorted the metal short steel and tin separate short steel is higher price than tin.
so that's what happens to used parts lol
In chicago thieves will still your catalytic converter at gun point while your still sitting in your car ! Ya ! Its that bad !
I did a lot of scrapping back in the late 90's through early 2000's. I made a lot of money. 1,500-2,500 a month and that was my part time job. I was active duty Navy in Jacksonville, fl.
That's the most compact hitch lock I think I've ever seen. Great little design & if it slows them down enough to get caught. Then it's money well spent!
At the shop I work at we run scrap every 3 months and usually make 3000$ but we also do anywhere from 175-250k a month. And we don't separate the aluminum from the steal.
It is a radiation detector. There is an unfortunate history of radioactive remnants hitting the scrap remelt furnace and causing a horrific Superfund site.
it's a dirty max.. not dura max
Please mute the sound when the camera is right beside the really loud backup alarm. It's considerably louder than any of the impact noises.
