■ FLAG 5 — Systematic Tare Weight Inflation $5,940 unaccounted variance on this ticket

Every one of the 13 truck loads recorded an identical light weight of 38,400 lbs (17.14 GT). The recycler documented this themselves: Tare IN 38,440 / Tare OUT 38,360 / Tare AVG 38,400 — they weighed the truck once at the beginning and once at the end, averaged it, and applied that same number to every load. Real tares vary by 800–1,200 lbs load to load.

Industry transfer truck norm: 34,000–36,400 lbs. At 38,400 lbs the recorded tare is 2,000 lbs above the norm per truck. Over 13 loads: +26,000 lbs = +11.6 GT unaccounted. At $310/GT: $3,596 unaccounted variance on this ticket. At market rate of $383/GT: $4,443.

Recommended follow-up: Request individual certified tare weights for each truck. One tare-in and one tare-out across 13 loads is not a per-load certified tare — it is a pre-set value applied uniformly.

ⓘ FRP Cover Disposal — $2,500Legitimate deduction

Fiberglass covers are non-ferrous and carry no scrap value. The $2,400 disposal charge is within the normal $1,200–$3,000 range and is a legitimate recycler cost. No dispute recommended on this line item.

✓ FLAG 7 — ArithmeticPASS — $0.00 error

233.55 GT × $295.00 = $68,896.99 − $2,400.00 FRP flat = $66,496.99. Matches invoice exactly. Note: FRP deduction applied as a flat dollar amount rather than per-GT tonnage — lacks pricing transparency.

Ticket #TKT-0042 — Barge DEMO-102 (Hull)

Weigh-in: 3/3/2026 3:56 PM · Weigh-out: 4:03 PM · Single-lift weigh · No grade listed · $335/GT

▲ FLAG 3 — Price / No Grade

Description	Net (lbs)	Net (GT)	Price/GT	Total	Flag
Barge DEMO-102 (no grade listed)	537,730	240.06	$335.00	$80,419.44	F3
Invoice Total				$80,419.44	✓ Math OK

▲ FLAG 3 — No Grade Disclosed / Price Below Market $11,523 exposure

Scale ticket shows no commodity grade — just “Barge RV-1148” as the description. Price $335/GT is below P&S Prepared market ($383/GT) and below HMS #1 ($370/GT). No ISRI grade designation appears on this ticket face.

Single-lift weigh eliminates tare error risk on this ticket — the entire hull is weighed as one unit, no truck tares to manipulate. The issue here is price and missing grade documentation.

Expected at $383/GT P&S: $91,943. Received: $80,419. Gap: $11,523. This is a Watch flag rather than Critical because the price gap could reflect a negotiated rate or a legitimate grade determination — but the absence of any grade label on the ticket face is not acceptable documentation.

Action required: Request grade certification and the price index source used to derive $335/GT. If P&S Prepared applies, escalate to formal dispute.

✓ FLAG 7 — ArithmeticPASS — $0.00 error

537,730 lbs ÷ 2,240 = 240.06 GT × $335.00 = $80,419.44. Matches invoice exactly.

Invoice Total				$37,689.99	✓ Math OK

■ FLAG 2 — HMS Misclassification on Loose Scrap $3,059–$7,544 exposure

84.96 GT classified HMS Unprepared at $235/GT across 4 loads. Context matters here: The recycler loaded miscellaneous yard iron, cable, and fittings into the barge before scrapping — so some portion of this HMS is legitimate. TrueYield estimates approximately 40% legitimate HMS (cable, thin gauge material, yard iron = ~33.98 GT) and 60% misclassified structural cuts that qualify as P&S (~50.98 GT).

The HMS Unprepared price of $235/GT vs P&S Unprepared at $295/GT on the same ticket = a $60/GT spread on the misclassified portion.

Conservative exposure (vs P&S Unprepared): 50.98 GT × $60 = $3,059
Full exposure (vs P&S Prepared at $383): 50.98 GT × $148 = $7,544

This is where recyclers take maximum advantage on mixed-content loose scrap offloads — classifying everything as HMS when the structural cuts clearly qualify for P&S pricing. The barge owner has no way to verify the grade split without being present at the scale.

Action required: Request recycler’s written grade basis for HMS classification. Request vehicle/load documentation to identify which specific loads contained structural vs. yard material.

✓ FLAG 7 — ArithmeticPASS — $0.00 error

(19.94 × $435) + (17.04 × $295) + (13.63 × $295) + (15.26 × $235) + (20.21 × $235) + (24.53 × $235) + (24.96 × $235) = $37,689.99. Matches invoice exactly.

✓ Steel Covers and Coaming — Separately Itemized+$12,840 in cover + coaming value credited

Steel roll-top covers (26.40 GT at $398 = $10,507) and coaming steel (5.80 GT at $398 = $2,308) separately itemized and credited at full P&S rate. This is the correct treatment — many recyclers fold these in or omit them entirely. This recycler credited every recoverable ton.

★ Why TrueYield Still Adds Value on a Clean Settlement+$4,354 above estimate

This settlement passed every TrueYield flag and the recycler paid $3,890 above the TrueYield estimate. Without an independent baseline you'd have no way to know whether $79,204 was fair, low, or exceptional.

TrueYield doesn't just catch fraud — it confirms when you're being treated right. That knowledge is leverage in every future negotiation.

When recyclers know you have an independent number, the whole dynamic changes. The honest ones keep paying fair. The others can't hide.
