salvage surplus pallets and manifests

One tool that is a necessity when purchasing pallets or truckloads of surplus and salvage is a manifests. Manifests can be used for many things. Before you buy a truckload of salvage use the manifests to analyze the inventory. The manifests has each item that is in the salvage truckload listed. The quantity and the wholesale costs are listed in separate columns. If you decide to purchase the salvage truckload use the manifest for inventory and a price guideline. Some truckloads have 2,000 -3,000 different items . It is nearly impossible to know the costs of every item . You can separate the more valuable merchandise using the manifest as your guide. If you are not familiar with reading and understanding manifests spend a few minutes each day reading different manifests. Success in the salvage business can not be obtained without this skill set(competency in reading and evaluating manifests).
