With some flatbed trucking companies closing their doors because of bankruptcy, it’s easy to assume the worst for all; but, to do so would be foolish. While there have been some in the freight transportation industry who have been hit hard during the most recent economic downturn, there are others who have weathered the troubled times with more than average stability. Despite some losses, the freight trucking industry is poised to recover quickly. Companies like JB Transport have positioned themselves to be a strong contender in the long haul (pun intended) and are expanding their freight transportation operations in step with the growing demands of their satisfied customers. In the current state of the economy, people adapt. Part of this adaptation means that some companies pare down their operations to only the most affordable and essential components. This is an expected move during hard times, and, despite the shifting, JB Transport has remained committed to handling every job, for every client, regardless of size. They will continue to offer on-demand custom shipping for their clients in order to meet their needs, even in the midst of downturn. So, it’s clear that some operations, throughout different sectors of the economy, have had to scale back, but, this is not a hard and fast rule. The pipeline industry, for example, has boomed in recent years. This has been a welcomed opportunity for the flatbed trucking industry as it has been heavily involved in each step of this ongoing process. Transporting pipeline, matting, and heavy equipment of every kind to the jobsite is a constant and demanding job. Heavy haulers and flatbed trucks have been running in continuous streams across the country as natural gas pipeline construction has expanded. This arena of flatbed trucking is often the lifeblood for many in the freight transportation industry. Heavy construction of any kind requires lots of materials. Supplies must be kept in constant flow.
