Scrap is not a great market to be in at the moment, the dumping of Chinese steel on Western markets has far reaching implications...

So is there vast amount of redundant deckers sat around or has the poor scrap prices pushed operators where possible to convert vehicles so they are DDA complient?

On the subject of Chinese Steel, it's crazy to think that there was a tv advert running proclaiming that the UK trading with the Far East was a wonderful thing - not if you work in the uk steel industry.
