    Is that the one at the intersection of Clinton Dr & Lockwood Ave? If it is, I started boycotting them 3 years ago.

    I have spent hours upon hours in that place. Before it was Metal Sales, it was EMJ. I think they still have the same staff!

    I won't haul into them nor will I haul a load for them.

    I won't go to their port location in Houston either. If the load has Metal Sales of Houston on the bills, it will not be placed on my trailer.

    It's always musical bays with them. And when it is timne for you to move to another bay, about 3 Mexican trucks have you blocked in so you can't move.

    Not to mention the nearly impossible right hand turn just to get into the bays.

    I stay about 150 miles south of you.
