It was my first time coming into the scrap yard in the yard attendant told me to put my stuff on the ground unload my truck and then pick it up and put the stuff back in when I did that everybody came outside yelling and screaming at me and then he followed me to my truck calling me pussies and punks and then they had the girl come from the office telling me to calm down and didn't say nothing to him they alter my prices and robbed me for my scrap after we got into a disagreement

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 3 reviewed records matching USDOT 706962 and the current registered legal/DBA name for P C METALS INC, dated 2024-08-12 through 2025-06-13. 2 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 2 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 10 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 3; these are reported inspection-level counts. This is the observed subset of a three-year file, not a lifetime total. The history concerns the registered carrier’s vehicles/operations, not inspections of this recycling facility. An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.
