State Metal Industries is an aluminum smelting company located in Camden, NJ, that purchases scrap and manufactures high-grade aluminum. For drivers, the standard procedure is to first park on Walnut Street or a nearby street and walk to the office to check in. The scale is small, requiring tandems to be slid all the way forward, and it must be entered by backing in. After scaling, drivers go around the building to the dock area for loading or unloading, which typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Once finished, they must return to the scale a final time for paperwork. While some note there is more than enough room to maneuver, others mention potholes and occasional traffic concerns. Directions can be tricky, so following specific instructions is helpful. Experiences with staff vary, with some finding them cool and others somewhat rude.
First park your truck at walnut st. Walk to the office. They call you when dock is available. Scale is too small, so you have to move your tandems all the way forward. Got unloaded in 30-40 mins. Not bad.

Your time is of no consequence to the employees of this establishment. Woman at shipping office is the kind that’s not satisfied unless you leave here feeling miserable just like she does (poor soul).
