Short answer: Buyers normally want steel cut to manageable lengths that fit their handling equipment and furnace charging, often with limits on length and width, and may reject or discount oversize pieces that need cutting at their yard, so find out their size limits before you load and cut long or wide items down to size where it is practical and safe.

A buyer sets maximum lengths and widths so that material can be handled and charged into a furnace.
Oversize penalties
Pieces that are too large may be discounted or cut by the buyer at your cost.
