Okay guys this is the semi-official word that I got today when I picked up one of my deuces.
I asked the yard manager (Rod, who I trust a great deal) what was going on with the pulled trucks. He said he hadn't heard anything about them but would check while I got my truck going. He came down later and said he called the Central DRMO and spoke with a friend who told him that this sale, and THIS SALE ONLY (4573) (for now) was being reclassified as Demil Code F Requires Mutilation. He said the reason was they were averaging about $800 per lot on the trucks and with the salvage contract they just signed they were going to get $0.12-$0.13 per pound - or about $1750 per lot (give or take depending on the equipment and amount of fuel in the tank
). Again this was for the sale that was just pulled ONLY. But if they more than double their average sale price on this go around you can pretty much figure that's what the future holds.
Again, I trust Rod as a straight shooter and don't doubt the information he got one bit, but it's just what one person told another and then told me. If the Mods want to shoot me as a rumor mongerer fire away but I thought everyone deserved to know.
Rod is also the Mutilation Inspector for much of TX and they told him exactl;y what points on the frame had to be cut so they do indeed intend to destroy them.
