If you're picking up a load of scrap with a 53' van it can be a pain. Best way I saw was to go to NE 36th Street and turn on N Commerce going north to the location A. Walk into the building to O where the office is located. They will send you back around to 36th where the entrance to the scale is located (B). Two important points you have to back in & onto the scale then keep going to the outside dock. And if someone is already there you have to wait for them to leave. When you're loaded you pull onto the scale slowly with the help of a spotter. They caught my tandems being 200 pound over so it was easy to back up to the dock and they reloaded. Pulled around to location A and into the office to pick up paperwork. People were friendly loading was fast once I got to the dock.

Why are you hanging up Israel flags at the same level as the USA flags?! This is AMERICA! Yet you have Trump flags. Seems these people aren't true Americans 👎🏻 #SupportAmerica!
