Called to ask if they would take truck beds and they said shouldn't be a problem. Get there and they wouldn't take the truck beds. I won't be going back here. Plenty of other places to do business with.

Review

I have been going to Schnizers Steel 33 years. Until they changed it I was always a happy customer before I opened my business as well as after. For years I had gone to Calbag instead but at this time they are no longer buying steel. So I am forced to go to Schnitzers instead because they pay the highest and are the closest.
