SELL PULLED AND SURPLUS WIRE IN BISMARCK, ND
Bid sets get revised in Bismarck more often than they get built as drawn. A value-engineering pass swaps a feeder size, a tenant changes the layout, and the wire ordered for the first version sits on a pallet in the second version's job trailer. The pallet is usually still wrapped, because nobody unwraps material they are not going to install.
Institutional work drives most of it. Schools, clinics, and county buildings get partial gut renovations, and a partial renovation means pulled wire in lengths nobody can reuse. Sellers in Bismarck send us the leftovers: copper feeders in #2 through 4/0, MC in eight-foot pieces, and fire-alarm cable on a spool that is three quarters full.
Institutional retrofits and pulled wire
Wire that has been pulled and then abandoned is not the same as wire on a reel. It has bends, it may have been cut at both ends, and the jacket can carry writing from three different electricians. Describe it as pulled and cut and include the lengths, since long pulls are worth more to a buyer than short ones.
MC and AC come out of a retrofit in short pieces, and short pieces add up. A van full of four-foot MC offcuts is a real quantity if it is sorted by size. Mixed together in one bin, it is much harder to review. Sorting by size takes an hour and saves a week of messages.
Feeder copper and the sizes worth a call
Service and feeder work is where the weight is. A 500 MCM copper feeder on a wooden reel is heavy enough that the drum has to be sound before it moves. Check the lagging and the flange before you plan a pickup, since a broken drum turns a simple load into a re-spooling job.
Parallel runs are common in commercial work, and parallel runs leave matched sets. If you have six lengths of the same size at roughly the same footage, say so, because matched sets are easier to place than orphan reels. An orphan reel is fine too, as long as the size is stated once and not guessed at twice.

Loading and freight from Bismarck
Bismarck loads on I-94 and US-83, and downtown addresses usually mean a liftgate or a smaller straight truck rather than a full trailer. LTL handles cartons, flatbed handles drums. If the material is in a basement or a parking garage, tell us before a truck is booked.
