OmniSource Corporation at 3101 Maumee Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46803

The staff here are actually decent to deal with, and the place feels safe—no sketchy vibes or weird characters lurking around.

Took them five or six hours just to load my stuff. Absolute joke of a yard, honestly.

I’ve been to a bunch of OmniSource yards, and this one is by far the most poorly run. Even on a good day, it takes two hours just to unload a truck, and if there are more than seven ahead of you? You’re looking at five hours. The way they handle unloading makes zero sense—it’s like they’re doing it on purpose to waste time. Management should go watch how the Indianapolis location does it and take notes. Bring your own food, drinks, and a bucket if you need to pee, because there’s no bathroom here. This place is a nightmare.

This place is a total mess—nobody seems to know where anything goes, and the lot is just a giant mud pit. They clearly don’t care about keeping it clean or functional. The gravel they use is the cheapest stuff, spread out so thin it’s useless—just a half-inch layer that turns to mud the second someone drives on it. It’s like they’re trying to save money by doing the bare minimum. Someone needs to actually fix this place and put down proper stone instead of this half-baked nonsense.

Check-in and checkout were quick—took about an hour—but the yard itself is a disaster. Filthy, cluttered, and not somewhere you’d want to spend time. After dealing with this mess, I won’t be bringing food loads here again. The space is cramped, unsafe, and there’s no parking or place to stay overnight.
