So the boy says I need to borrow your truck & trailer for a bit today. He has to move a truck body for a guy he does work for on weekends. Off he goes at 10am. He comes home about 8 pm and says come look.........

The rules:

first person who guess's the weight within 25lbs wins a t-shirt. (not combined weight, just the scrap)

Or closest to the weight at contest close.

Contest closes 00:01 Thursday October 19 CST

Mulitple entrys allowed, but only two per post, one post per hour.

Taxes are the responsibility of the winner.


Details: the trailer is rated for 8650 lbs.

The truck box shown (side view) is full of frame parts.

I don't know the weight until it goes to the scrap yard and it gets unloaded.

Good luck

Is there an engine in the pile as well? Wheels? Rear axle? Transmission?

No engines, trans or axels....there are 15 batterys and a old washing machine (wringer style). The rest is steel truck frames (3 or 4) and coiled steel wire. The pile is 7.5' tall at the highest point, 8' wide and 16' long.
