DO NOT HAUL FOR

Do not haul for a company out of Vero Beach FL. Their name is SMG of the Treasure Coast. It is a landscape supply company. They used to have an account on here but it has been deleted. They currently owe me $1550 and owe another company I know $4250. Both accounts are extremely past due and she keeps giving us both the run around. Just wanted to give everyone a fair warning. I have heard other carriers say she took forever to pay them since we got involved with her. ITS A BAD DEAL. They seem nice, but nice doesn't pay my bills.

I hate to trash someone on here, but you should see some of the e-mails. Every excuse in the book. Including, "It's been raining" and "I didn't pay you because you sent me an e-mail that wasn't nice"

How long did it take her to pay you? I know several others that are well over 90 days.

She doesn't have a bond. It is a direct customer. There is nothing left to do but sue her. I feel like that's a waste of time. She has learned how to play this game. Too many of us have thrown up our hands instead of staying on her.

Your payment was sent out weeks ago. Obviously you haven't received it.

I'll check on it immediately

There is no game TODD. What is going on and has been going on since 2009 is a DEPRESSION. We all try to do the best that we can. Yes we have falled 60-90 days on invoices BUT WE PAY THEM. The company that you are referring to that we owe $4000 to had a check cut on Friday. YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE A CHECK CUT AS WELL but then you turned into a JACKASS!!!

Make sure you let everyone know when you do get paid TODD...........

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY EVERYONE............. and remember.............Everyone needs to help everyone............ Throwing rocks, stones and daggers will go nothing but create negativity and turmoil.....

We pay top rates and move lots of loads. We have also been in business for over 10 years........ Everyone hits bumps........

If anyone of you are perfect out there I'd like to meet you :)

You owed the company I was refering to since April. Unless your calender is different than all the rest of us, that's a tad over your 60 to 90 days. You have also promised to pay them several times and they got one of your man excuses rather than funded. They and I will believe that we have been paid, when the check clears.

Because you don't like someone's attitude you decide to with hold payment due them. Quite possibly putting them out of business. Unless you told them before they hauled for you that payment was 90 plus then you are at fault. Does your electric company carry you 90 plus? Your cell phone provider or your parts supply? Why do you expect trucking companies to carry you?

Just got a phone call from another company that I had never spoken to before. He said she has owed him for over a year. He is in the process of filing a law suit against her now. Funny how this all comes out. Looks like this forum works.

WOW... I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't read it.. With an attack mode type attitude... Your money problem isn't those that properly moved your loads problem.. Is this a broker or what? Or is it a company that has their own loads to haul? Why do we allow somebody else use our money? While we have costs that need to be covered. With this attitude right off the get go , if one is stuck down in Florida, either needs to haul for somebody else, or put her into the wind and go someplace else. Is this business a member of anything like the better business bureau? If they are turn them in... Looks like this forum is being read more than what these people want.. Now if I remember right.. Isn't this the same company that was doing the same thing a couple of years ago, as reported on this forum?

Now just for this Shelly: if you don't want to pay your bills on a speedy time then we get to tell others abouth the experiences that they have had with you.. And try to steer others away from you and your money problems.. It is also time for you to get your panties out of a wad and start paying everybody... Then when that happens, we won't have any reason to complain about you..

This woman has the biggest chahones.. She comes on this thread, yells at, belittles and calls people names, because the people that she owes money to is trying to tell others about her and the company that she is associated with, that the don't pay their bills. I bet the next move will be bankruptcy.. So watch for that little game. But now we all know the true position on this company.. And if anything, I hope that those that she burned, called names and belittled were right and she proved that by her actions .. I really hope those big chahones comes back and try's to do her stunt again. Then we will have some fun.

For those that she owes money to.. Before doing this talk to an attorney before doing this... Lots of time if a billboard hasn't been used for a while, they will give you a pretty good deal on a monthly charge.. So find one near this companies office and tell other that you think that they may have problems with their money.. And think about going elsewhere. Here in Reno,nv a few years ago..some yaho did this about the legal brothels.. It was about the treatment of the women , Gods work etc.. The brothels couldn't do a thing as it was this guys thought. All the locals thought it was funny, so it didnt last long.

You are absolutely right Christopher...........

I have every intention ot taking care of TODD.... you see..... the problem with Todd is that when he was attempting to get me on the phone for over 30 days I was either up in the Carolinas because my uncle continues to have heart attack after heart attack................... or I was out on an installation. The messages from Todd got uglier and uglier..... he became more vile and threatening with each call..... speaking to sales clerks about confidential information they had no business even hearing........ he had my one 20 year old in tears with his attitude....

So, Todd gets what Todd gets.

Yes, we have had some issues in the past due to the economy.... and yes we all have pushed the evelop.

I apologize if my delay in payments caused stress and duress upon others.... but the fact of the matter is....

EVERYONE EVENTIALLY GOT PAID..... but Todd..... yes, because he will not shut his pie hole he will be forced to wait 90 days.... not really sure if anyone approves and really don't care because HE CROSSED A LINE....

The good guys hang with us....... the jerks (in this case Todd) .................... well, they get what they get.

Shelley,

Funny, I never called your business until you were well over 60 days. I only called 4 times in one week, and only left a message for you to please call me back!!!!!!!! You never bothered. You never once called me. Not to say that you were having money problems, not to say that you were slow but that we would get paid, NOTHING. I have every right to believe that you have no intentions of paying anyone that you owe. I never said anything threatening or to anyone who answered the phone or used any profanity. I am much more professional than that. Don't try to bring my reputation down to yours.If asking you to call me back puts a 20 year old into tears, maybe she should see a shrink!!!!!! Perhaps you have me confused with one of the many people that you owe THOUSANDS of dollars too. It seems everyone that has hauled for you has had to fight you for their money. Even suppliers of your material. The lawsuits are easily found on the internet. I constantly hear of companies that have stopped hauling for you for nonpayment. No wonder you had to go on here and BEG people to haul your stone. You give EVERYONE a bad name.

Everyone gets paid huh????? Two lawsuits are easily found on the internet in the last 14 months were you didn't pay. I know of one lawsuit being filed now on an account that you are well over a year past due. I know of two that are seriously thinking about it, and I'm not counting me.

At this point I know things about you that could ruin your life, but I don't spread rumors that I can't prove are true. Besides, they don't have anything to do with this matter. Let's just say that you and your business don't have a very good reputatuion amongst your fellow landscapers in FL. I have heard things that I nearly dropped the phone over. It's a VERY small world. And no, you can't trade my bill out for some fun.

Jomi Trucking has yet to get the check that they were promised over and over and over again!!!!!!! They hauled for you in April. You keep promising, but you just keep playing the same game with them and tell them to "reel in her attititude". You think I'm mean. Keep screwing her over. We talk daily. I know what is up her sleeve.

One more little rant like this and a little slander suit can come your way too. I have said NOTHING but facts. You have posted nothing but lies and are the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL person that anyone involved in this matter has ever dealt with. Do us all a favor and close up shop. Your e-mails look like a 12 year old wrote them, and that's not even my words, or anyone at this business's.

I have every right to post and take any action that I have done so far. I will stand up in court and swear on the Bible that everything in this is true. You however can't! I am done playing games. Pay up!!!!!

Funny if you were in China Grove visiting your sick uncle, you were only 20 miles from my office. You could have hand delivered a check.

YOU HAVE EARNED YOUR REPUTATION, DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!

It really doesn't make any difference if the guy is an azzhole or not....he performed a service for you and you are required to pay for said service. If he's an azz, you don't have to let him haul again.....that's pretty simple. I realize we all have hard times, emergencies, etc. But you can't expect customers to be bankers. Taking care of the help always comes first.

I'd venture to say Todd's a nice guy untill you pissed him off. Just pay him what he's owed. I can't imagine any company having the balls to use the contractors as a bank. How would you feel if you worked for someone (and incurred an expense doing so), only to to not get paid...you'd be pissed too! I make it priority one to take care of the bills first, family is of the most importance to me...if an emercency comes up, I make sure my help is covered if I have to be gone.....it might mean afew late nights doing bookwork and writing checks, or asking someonelse to do it for me....but it still gets done.

PAY HIM THEN AND AFTER THAT JUST TELL HIM HE IS FIRED. HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR OPERATING LOAN! I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS TODD BUT I DEAL WITH ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY.

the best i can say is we should get paid before we haul, and with all thesen post regaurding this business, its the same story that happened to me, yes i got paid after while. but i didnt need the hassle.

the best is i have to have a bond, the people paying me i have their "word" sounds fair !!!

We still haven't been paid, nor has anyone else we know. Our collections company say that she is the WORST and MOST VULGAR person that they have ever dealt with.

If she posts loads on DAT load boards, file a written complaint(can download off board) and send it in with documentation. They will flag the account as a non payer so that everyone sees it. Then everyone one knows upfront not to haul for her.

Aww you made her take down her Facebook site lolz. Not a broker nor Do I own my own truck. But I have missed payment befor it was like 100 Days past due do to a wrong address from the Company that did the work on my furnace was 80 bucks after late fees and everything turned into 120 I paid them double because of it being so late. Wasn't there fault nor My fault but I paid my bill to them and then some this lady is a deadbeat for not paying her bills OP and anyone that hauled for her I would Sue her but you might not get anything or you might own a new business good luck you all.

We did 2 loads for her COD with no problems, so we gave her some credit and got taken advantage of. This is her way of doing business. Too many people have just "written it off". Basically I could too. This hasn't hurt our bottom line, but, I'm not gonna let this one go out of principle.I have never been talked to this way by a man, much less a "lady". I use that term extremely loosely. She has a foul mouth like you wouldn't believe. Everyone that has tried to collect on her says that she is by far the worst person that they have ever tried to deal with.

Todd, I too lost 2 trips which were about $2900 and the same game as you described occured. They were nice, Mama is in NC is in the hospital. Got check made out and it should be to you tomorrow. Should I continue? People at Indian River Courthouse were well aware of this person (Shelly). I done the math and it would cost me more to collect than $2900.00 and days on end to do it. Also a buddy of mine got stiffed for one load. I am sure there is a federal law against skinning people who can't do anything about this. I hope I get enough views to inconvience her to find someone else to skin besides truckers.

She has been getting called daily from our collections agency since Oct. I know of a bout 7 or 8 trucking companies that she owes and refuses to pay. She claims that she has sold the business, but I can find no evidence of such. Even if she has, the new owners are responsible for her debts. She did NOT file for bankruptcy as of yet. Her court record is just absolutely sickening. She has a history of years of not paying her bills and taxes. It quite simply amazes me that she is alowwed to stay in business.

Ok.. If you have to hire an attorney.. And she owes you let's say 5000, you can sue her with attorney fees and court cost paid also by her. So you would get your 5000 plus get all other expenese paid. Now if you do start with an attorney, get other guys, it looks like quite a few and go class action. Or I don't know the max for small claims in Florida, but you can go that route. If she doesn't bother to show up. You win normally after 30 days.. Then what you do is get an order of examination.. That is a court order that she will have to show you all of her books, so you can find out where you can recoup your money. I'm not sure but I think if she doesn't show up for the order, she can be arrested. And if you really want to get her panties in a wad, and can't find the money to pay you.. This is great.. You get a court order, where the marshals office puts a man on her business and any body that buys something, the money never reaches her, the marshal takes it until your court order is satisfied, plus she has to pay for the marshal for his time..now wouldn't you ,if you were a customer want to know why the cops are there taking your money.. It's called pay back is a bit*^. Now again if you do go to small claim, go with the maximum allowable, so if she owes you 5000 and the max allowed to claim is 7500 let's say.. The 2500 is for damages or punitive charges .. And don't forget to file with the court the added expenses.. She may owe 8-9-10 thousand depending what your expenses are .. Court fees, if you talked to attorney.. His fees etc. if she is like this to you.. Imagine what she will be like in court.. And attorneys can't show up... But make sure she is the owner of the company, or find out who the owner is.. If different he may not even know she is doing this. All I can say is GOOD LUCK..

Just thought we would chime in as well. They nailed us for $1500 in November and almost $2500 over a year ago under a different name and dispatcher....our system did not catch the issue until it was too late. They never answer the phone and they never return emails.....I am ready to go down there and start loading up product and dare them to stop me..... Has anyone gotten paid in the last 60 days? Everyone needs to contact the suppliers that they picked up from and let them know what they are doing and get them to stop selling them the stone.

They tried to get me to haul last fall under a different name also. I was sceptical because the load description was exactly what I had hauled to SMG. I told them I could haul it, but becasuse of SMG, all rock yards must be COD. I immediately got a nasty email about how it wasn't nice to talk junk about other companies, and that they would not pay COD. A day later I got a nasty email from Shelley abut running "MY D@$K SUCKER"( per her ladylike mouth). I new right off the bat something was fishy. Sorry that she got you again. You can't hardly even get one of my trucks to go to FL now. I don't need the cheap stuff out of there anyway.

Well Mr Brown,
All I can tell you is this: If you bought this fine establishment from Shelley, Clyde, or whomever really owned it, I feel sorry for you. There is a ton of bad publicity for your address and phone number. The girl you have managing the place is the same that was there before, and I know that Shelley is still there on a regular basis picking up messages. We were told that by an employee. Also, I'll have to contact a FL lawyer on this, but in the state of NC, if the business that you purcfhased did not file bankruptcy, (which SMG did not) the new owner is responsible for the old owner's debts that are afilliated with the business. That would be you sir. I currently know of atleast 9 conpanies that Shelley owes money, and speak to most of those on a regular basis about plans to collect. We have not forgotten, and after the way we have all been talked to by her, it is purely a matter of principle now. The money no longer matters.
This is a small world sir, and this thread was buried even with 15,000+ views. You have now brought it to the top of the page again. Good job. Threaten me all you like, but don't call us when you need a load. I would be suprised if anyone would even haul to this address, affiliated with Shelley or not.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably isn't a chicken. I don't think anyone who has seen any part of this thread would haul a load of anything to Vero Beach FL. Even if it was prepaid in cash and delivered by singing clown. Mr Brown, no one here has slandered you or your gravel yard. It was just a posting that the business currently operarating at this Vero Beach FL address has changed to Mountain Stone. Same address and phone number. I never said if the ownership had changed or not. I actually found this out when I got a call from a business the has sued Shelley for a large sum of money that was owed and won the judgement.
I was informed by this person that Shelley has now crossed a threshold in the FL legal system. She has now surpased the $55,000 mark in liens and judgements. This means that anyone who sues her and wins from this point forward, HAS to be paid. Anyone that she owes, please take note.
As far as you are concerned Mr. Brown, I do not know you nor do I care to. My trucks will not ever deliver to this address again and ALL landscape yards are now on a COD only basis because of this matter. I don't know if you knew about this mess when you bought the place or not. I continue to hear stories from companies and individuals that got screwed. It seems you may be one of us. You sir have rekindled a fight that has been going on for a long period of time with alot of players. We have all been doing our homework for quite sometime.
As far as "slander" is concerned sir, good luck with that.

Your first line refers to a list of haulers that you got from SMG and you refer to him having a bad experience with the "PREVIOUS". owners. Yet you claim that you "DID NOT" buy SMG? Sir, we may all be stupid truck drivers, but we are also business owners. We can't be that stupid.
You reopened this can of worms Ed. You could have sent me a nice email explaining your side, but you decided to come on here in a public forum with an immediate attitude, stooping to Shelley's level. What exactly did you expect????????This matter has put Shelley out of business (along with some other things I have learned but won't disclose). Personally, I don't care if you bought SMG or not. I for sure wouldn't have, and for sure wouldn't have reoopened a rock yard in that location with her reputation living there. But, that's my opinion as a business owner of 14 years.

I would feel the same way as you do.. Going on the defense.. Maybe if you gave us a few minutes of your own time.. And tried to give those owed money to the true culprit.. May be the biggest PR project that you could ever do.. Plus it would help getting your product moved in or out of your business.. As everybody here would love to move it.. As long as they got paid.. And hopefully you are a great businessman .. I'm sure that you never expected to be put in this position.. But unfortunately that hornets nest has blown up, with you in the middle.. Hopefully you are not involved with the people that owed all of this money.. And with you down in Florida, could possibly just help those that were not paid, at least a trail to the old owners.. I'm sure that if somebody that didn't pay you.. That you also would have the same attitude as these small companies.. Then this very large and growing fire could be put out.. And hopefully start on a more positive note.. These small companies try to give the best of service.. But do need revenue to be able to stay in business.. Any and all help that you may be able to give to the where a bouts of the prior owners would be greatly appreciated. This is just my thought on this and no body else's.. I just hate to see things like this from happening.. On both sides

slan·der

?sland?r/

noun

Law

noun: slander

  1. 1.

    the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.


li·bel

?l?b?l/

noun

Law

noun: libel; plural noun: libels

  1. 1.

    a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.


Mr. Brown, as these are the legal definitions of both slander and libel. You can now see that legally Mr. Rennix is not guilty of slander as you have accused him of. As far as you denying the purchase of SMG Corp, that may quite possibly be. If Mr. Rennix's statements are true that you are indeed operating your business at the same address, same phone number, and are doing business with their name as an alias or aka. Then the statement that Mr. Rennix made is indeed true. If you are using the same management that was managing the previous company or tenant of the property that you now operate your business in, then in a court room you would end up being accused of conspiracy to commit fraud.


If you are indeed what you say you are, an honest businessman who found a good location at the right price. Then my advice to you is to distance yourself from the previous owners/tenants of the property post-haste. That would include any of the previous management. I have bought and sold several companies and whenever the previous management had any taint or stink on them, I would terminate them as fast as possible. There is an old expression that bad news travels faster then good news. In the trucking world you can magnify that by 100 fold. Each and every trucker or owner in this community that is nationwide knows about this incident. It would behoove you to get as far as way from the previous owner(s) ASAP, as they may drag you into the stinky lawsuit pit that is presently going on.

Having worked in law, let me let you know that if an attorney believes that he can draw blood (money), he cares not where he gets it from. I hope that you sought legal counsel and did your research before you established your business at the current location. It is awful hard to stay in business if you have nobody to haul you freight, unless you have your own trucks. I also recommend that you change your phone number or anything that is associated with the previous business. If you fail to take these kind words of caution, just remember this: I TOLD YOU SO!!

If you are really part of the problem then it will show up. It always does, people that steal from others can't do it forever. They end up forgetting to cover their tracks and their house of cards will collapse.

Check out the dates of business on these two companies, one folded and the other just started this year. Name looks pretty close as well. Execute caution and do your due diligence so you don't become another target.

Mr ED,
Lets just look at this and evaluate. You currently operate a landscape supply company out of the same address and use the same telephone number as the "previous owner". The previous company was previously known as "Stone Mountain Gravel", then later as "SMG of the Treasure Coast". You have now opened up as "Mountain Stone and Gravel" Same address, same number, same employees. Essentially the same name, just the words have been rearranged, again. Now, how stupid do you really think we all are. My four year old has harder problem solving skills tests in preschool. The ducks are quacking up a freakin storm here.

Every one that has posted on this forum has been on my side of this exept you, and the "deleted user". We all know whom that was. You have continued to make yourself out to be the "current view of a recently passed by horse" since you started striking keys and clicking "post".

This post has gained another 1000+ views since you started it back up and has remained on the top of the page again. It is by far the most viewed and posted on thread on bulkloads. Everyone on here knows of this one and talks about it. We continue to get calls and e-mails about it. Oddly, none of which have come from you. I was even called by the bulkloads staff about this on Friday. They said you had sent multiple e-mails to them claiming that you had e-mailed me and had called me trying to get me to remove this, and also threatening to sue them. I assure everyone here, that Mr ED has never attempted to contact me in any way. Not an e-mail or a phone call, and as you all know, our numbers and e-mails are easy to find. It is how we all do business. I assure you if a number from Vero Beach called me, I would break my finger swipping my screen to answer it.
We actually called your business a few weeks back, trying to get a hold of Shelley. The girl that answered the phone couldn't tell us who owned the business. She told us what she did know and we left a message for Shawnesie to please call us back. This never happened. This could have been smoothed over then, and she could have talked to my office manager. I wasn't the one who called and her number was the one left.

I assure you Mr ED, you have done more damage to yourself, your reputation, and the chances of getting anything delivered to you business, than I could have ever done. People have seen what kind of person you are in your own words and actions on this very site. ( the largest and most used site in the bulk industry) I might also add that in my opinion you act almost identical to the previous head of operations at your current business address. I have no doubts that a telephone conversation with you would go in about the same fashion.
I am done with arguing with you sir. I don't know if you bought SMG or not and personally don't care. I didn't know you existed, along with everyone else, until your hostilities started last week. You are the one that has now introduced us all to yourself. I for one would regret my introduction if I were you.
SMG is no longer in business, and mine is thriving. SMG hurt mine so bad that 1 year after not being paid, I am getting ready to head to Ohio to pick up my brand spanking new, custom built EAST dump trailer. We never even missed the money, and I probably gained business from this thread.

Mr ED, this is a small world, and people from one ocean to the other have seen this. Google searchs will now show this, and any lawyer would laugh at your claims. You have lost this one sir, and it was your own doings. A different attitude to start off with would have gotten you better results, or even some sympathy. I for one am done with this matter. I don't want an apology, and don't expect one from me. You started this fire back up, and I am walking away from this the bigger man.


As for anyone wanting an update, no one that we have talked to has been paid. I have been informed by another that that sued SMG for a substantial amount of money that they were owed, that they do get payments made to them monthly now, and that if I or anyone that I know is still owed money to file suit. SMG has now surpased a threashold in the FL court system of $55,000 in judgements, and must now pay or go to jail. We have not yet filed, but it will be done soon. I have been too busy to mess with it right now.
Good lucjk to you all in your business ventures, and I hope that every single one of us has learned some thing here. Thanks to all for keeping SMG"s lot "almost vacant". This worked exactly as it should have. (some folks needing our services should take note)

I just wonder if everyone on here has recieved a negative coompany rating now from Mr ED's Mountain Stone and Gravel. I know that I have and Mr. Curry has as well.
Let me just kick a little note on here to you ED. I have a very large list of customers that are VERY happy with our services. You aren't going to hurt me. However, you sir have only been in business for 6 months. We ran Shelley out of business in 6 months. No one would haul her loads, and it sure is hard to sell and empty yard. You sir may be commiting business suicide by messing on here too. This is not a threat sir, it is a fair warning. You might ought to think about your actions.

Well according to the new reply by Mr. Ed on my rating of his company, I apparently have a "lot lizard" addiction. I smell a defamation of character lawsuit on the horizon. Yes, I hate to be this kind of person, but I won't stand to be brought down to their level. I have already contacted an attorney. See you in court jackass, hope you bring you "lady" friend with you.

No matter if a driver or company owner becomes an ASS due to your non-payment, the fact of the matter is owner/operators have bills to pay and you have no right to refuse payment.

I am glad they posted on here about your company for non-payment. As an owner/operator we can't afford to wait 60 to 90 days for payment. We pay cash for fuel and rely on the companies we haul for to pay us in a timely fashion. Depression or not, if your company cannot afford to pay for the freight to be moved then don't hire someone to haul for you.

It is companies like yours that cause good hard working men and women to go out of business, lose their homes, their trucks, etc. PAY up or get out of the business of hiring drivers to haul for you!

She never paid any of us. When we went to sue her, she had well over $72,000 worth of judgments against her and the business. I cannot confirm, but rumor has it she is either married or in some sort of relationship with this Edwin guy and changed the name to Mountain Stone and Gravel. In my opinion, he acts no better than she does, and is just as vulgar.
I have a client that's office is just up the road from their retail lot. I know alot about what is going on there. He even knows someone that used to work there. Its a really small world. Some people should learn this. I 'm not the only one letting folks know.

DO NOT HAUL FOR Recycling Revolution = Nathan Seskin OWNER -(561) 488-1305 HERE IS A LINK TO THE BAD NEW ON THIS GUY - http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/specific_search/Recycling%20Revolution - We lucked out and only got stiffed for 600.00 - but some of these guy lost 20 and 30 thousand. here is the statement from one on the report - Nathan Seskin is a shady dead-beat. Not only does he owe my company $23,537 in bad debt dating back to June 2012 he also is a coward. He refuses to even talk on the phone. Some of the other clown's that you will deal with over there that will jerk you around include Chaka, Victoria, Audrey. These people still have the ball's to email quotes over to us when they owe almost 25k!!! I wonder if these people get their pay checks on a consistent basis when the guy can't even pay his freight bills.

According to this website, we are not the only ones he has ripped off. They ask for credit that they have no intentions of paying back. After speaking to a few of his customers, they have mentioned his shady
business practices have caused them to not use recycling revolution.

Not same company
Not same location
None of same employees

email for SMG collections is [email protected]. Please direct your frustrations there.

we have been instructed by legal counsel to request this rant be removed. We have done so several times.

the term "bump" is taken as a threat of physical harm.

we will not get into a verbal battle with anyone.

Same company, different name. Mr. Ed Brown is in some sort of domestic partnership with Shelley Griffin. I have pics of the ceremony. He is honest about the different address though, they moved next door.

it does not matter if someone is a jackass, you pay for the job that was contracted. otherwise find a different jackass to string along. ive got a few brokers who tell me off from time to time, but they know how i run and they know its worth it. or find a rookie with a lot of "ums" and "idk" have them do it cheap and not know wtf is supposed to be done. theres my 2 cents worth.
