I know out in the Portland Ore. and Seattle area you only get about 100 to 150 for each can you pull. we pull cans out for our customers and that is all we get for the money for in town. we make better money when we pull them out of the metro area

You mostly see Mexicans hauling them around Los Angeles with crappy trucks.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<This is my 4 or 5k truck :) ,I've been working for BTT for 4yrs.
You can make money if you get hooked up with a terminal and run regonial,just try to stay away from the ports as much as possible.
We have plenty of terminls nationwide www.bttinc.com
