3.2 Tons of nut. Was surprised at how well the truck handled the weight on the long trip home.
Had interesting conversation with the scale man and the guy running the skid loader. 750# per scoop from the loader. The scales guy told us that the Co. that owns the breaker has gotten requests for millions of tons to be delivered overseas and mentioned that Russia is exporting huge quantities of anthracite coal to the U.S. He said it is being subsidized so heavily by the Russian Govt. that the final delivered price is way below what Lehigh's parent co could afford to sell it domestically. Its crazy that we ship huge quantities to europe ans china while russia ships huge quantities to the US.
