I've noticed this near me as well. I'm seeing piles of pallets in some areas. There is definitely an oversupply. It's not a good economic sign!

Trite, but ,American lives depend on truckers. Truckers depend on pallets full of goods to move around the country. Unless pallet soppliers have suddenly expanded production to exceed demand. Then we are in trouble.

Correct, it's a family of alloys that the average scrapper is highly unlikely to find. They're difficult to identify without an XRF gun. There are several varieties, I sold the X type.

Yes, this was thermocouple wire that was 95% platinum and 5% rhodium. Most refineries won't pay anything for the rhodium, but I know someone who will. It's only half a gram but it's worth getting credit for!
