    it may be Youngstown tube, or possibly a distributor for them.

    I dont really like any of the tubing shippers in the "greater" Youngstown area... Bull moose tube is definitely one I avoid, and that goes for all locations they have. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri... they all stink.

    Tubing and certain types of pipe products are never a first choice.

    Is that the place that after you load and strap you pull under that open building and they drag the tarps over the load for you?

    Yeah the guys in the tarping station were kinda pricks, but i cant complain to much when they putting the tarps on for me... but honestly tho id just much rather do it myself, because they leave way to much tarp on the end and not enough on the front. Made it difficult to get the front and back closed up....

    Be happy they do that much. At one time, you could not even tarp on the property. Lots of loads went down the road with no tarp.

    Which is how it should be. I can see it in the winter time not wanting road salt on it. I loaded there in the summer and it still had to be trapped.

    Tarps are part of the job. If the customer pays for tarps, they get tarps. No pay, no tarps. If the shipping company does not have a safe place to tarp loads or have a tarp setting system, then no tarps. I don’t tarp or untarp on the street, down the road or whatever.
