The reason Brad is cutting up trucks ,the county flew over his land took photos , and said he had too much showing on the ground . Trucks, connex, equipment ,trailers,wood,and a host of other things. County said only a few trucks could be visible . Needs more garage space to cover trucks. Brad is cool guy, a lot of knowledge on trucks ,equipment, and the sort. Bought a cab , my combat wheels , starter from him.

I'm in Puyallup about 15 minutes away.
And from the talk, it sounds like I need to get out to Brad's too.

Hey Scott, may want to scab this post onto one of the mini rally ones. You'll get more traffic that way

Hey guys - the reason for the trucks getting chopped is the same reason they are there in the first place - Jerry (Brad's partner and boss) runs a metal scrap business - if the trucks are bringing in more than scrap and county inspectors are not sniffing so hard nothing would get the gas axe...
Sadly scrap is high and they can barely meet payroll so if anyone wants stuff from him now is the time to move on it - there are a bunch of engines they are going through and there are still a fair number of project trucks and a few runners of different varieties and grade...
One of his best guys died last year and the way the yard was run has suffered ever since - Eric was a pitbull and is definitely missed around there...
The long and short of it is they need to move about 30 to 40 tons of metal each week - he can barely make 20 with the current labor force so the whole deal is kinda running backwards - to make matters worse the county keeps strong arming him with property restrictions and planning walk thru inspections.
It sucks - but it is what it is...
Basically the best everyone can do is give him a fair deal and he will take care of you and then some - just remember at $360/ton some of the loose stuff is finding it's way into the scrap bin.

Maybe a stop by Brad's will have to be done during the day, instead of after wards.... Maybe during a lunch break?
