Car Hauler Market in the South Central

The South Central region is the epicenter of American flatbed freight, driven by the oil and gas industry in the Permian Basin, steel pipe manufacturing in Houston, and massive construction across Texas.

The region's year-round construction season means flatbed demand rarely dips.
