United States Steel Corporation Gary Works

The most disrespectful rude employees ever and the place is just not very suited for semis again I would never ever want to pick up here again and again the workers here seem miserable and they are so miserable they will take out their miserable lives on people just trying to do their job I have gone to many steel mills and this is by for the most disrespectful bunch of community driven steel workers I have ever met. I would love to write a letter to the USW and let them know about their attitude and maturity level as far as them bullying you to get out of the building as quick as possible even if there's no one behind you while you're trying to secure a steel coil that could harm the entire public while you're transporting it. I highly recommend not coming here Make sure you do take the right road otherwise you will be stuck there is a bridge that is very low but again the main problem is that these workers have the worst attitude I have ever seen and they take it out on other people

Little tricky first time going but the load process was quick. Check in 30 minutes before appointment. Paperwork will tell you where you need to go. Just follow the signs and you’ll arrive at your destination. If you’re not sure ask the scale house before you leave. Lots of space, easy access. To get there I arrived at the low bridge (12.7) access point. Was unsure at first but there was multiple trucks coming and going around me so I figured I could make it. Really should take them signs down or change them to 13.6 the minimum. It’s probably a little more than that but to be safe. Nice folks.

First thing..If you're the one that videod my black 389 coming through the water..hit me up coz I want it! 🤙 Will not be hauling anything else into or out of here. Unless you're lucky enough to have a truck under 12'7", it's a complete mess. Roads are not maintained, one way in has a lake you have to go through about 2ft deep, the other way in I had to idle across and pray nothing got tore up. Aside from showing up at shift change..they did get me loaded pretty quick..Though, wasn't very gentle/slow about slamming the coil down onto my trailer. One of the roughest loading operators I've had in awhile. Signage is few and far between. You'll want to keep an eye out for "Truck Scales". Two ways to go in if you're taller than 12'7". You either have the Lake Route or the 3 Bed, 2 Bath Special Route. Lake Route 912 to Airport Rd Left onto N. Clark Rd and continue straight to Olympic Steel. Leave time for trains..I sat for about an hour waiting for one..Had to reschedule my appt. 3 Bed, 2 Bath Special Route Takes a little longer, but you don't have to worry about not being able to see something under 2ft of water. 912 to exit 6A for Buffington Harbor Dr/Guthrie St Follow straig

If you go in on Airport Rd you’ll have to hope the train doesn’t make you late, & there is a huge pot hole that usually hides under deep water, but slow & easy gets you in & out. We always go in the next exit down on 912 North to Exit 6A. Go right. Then set your gps to the prax air company down that road. (It’s on google maps) After that just follow road down to check in lot/trailer, take & pass the test. You can check in 30 minutes early. The Bonus after hellish roads & confusion is They have a school bus food truck there now serving hot food. It was a good pulled pork sandwich! Thankful for the food truck guy 😊 We appreciate you!! He stops at about 4pm though. No sleeping here so head back to the TA on Burr street Exit 6. Stay safe drivers!!

If you have a mid-roof truck that’s 12’7’’ high or lower then you can take I 80 ext 9 Grant st . Follow that North till you come to W Fourth Ave . Turn right , Buchanan St turn Left. Then follow that into the plant . Scales on the right 1/2 mile . But if you have a regular big sleeper(13’4’’) then at follow ( W Fourth St turn Left . Follow that 2+ miles or so till you come to N Clark Rd . Turn right . Follow that road and pass a ton of R/R tracks and a bridge that says 15’’1 in height, pass through a couple inches deep of water and you will see Olympic Steel turn right and it will lead you to the front of the plant where the scales are at. No passengers allowed unless they have a CDL.
