The first 6 weeks or so of this year I was glad to pull into pipe yards in Houston and be either the only truck loading or one of a very few loading. Today I pulled into one of our regular yards and it looked like the old days ( you know, 4 months ago), 35+ trucks sitting in line waiting to get loaded.
Hated the wait but glad to see that at least for one day it looks like things may be picking up in the flatbed area!
