I've been going to cmc for the.past 3years ever since I got screwed over at action metals who's business practices are questionable. As little guys with trailers automatic push button dump trailers we should be given somewhat of a priority I understand bigger trucks need to get loaded and get out but lately I've been waiting for an hour to hour and fifteen minutes to get weighed dump and weighed out. This needs to be addressed. I respect their fair practices and legitimate business transaction as well as their professionalism. But I've been frustrated the past weeks waiting behind a convoy of trucks waiting to go in. It's disappointing to say the least.
