Gas Well Boom Puts Flatbed Hauling Back to Work in North Central PA

Sit in a diner off US-220 near Williamsport and you’ll probably hear it from the next booth: the rigs are busy again. After a couple of slow years, drilling crews are back on pads across Lycoming and Bradford counties. Each pad needs steel, mats and machinery hauled up roads mostly built for milk trucks and school buses. Almost all of it rides on open decks, which is why flatbed hauling services in the region are booked out again. The activity shows up in the numbers: as Penn Business Report notes, citing the Independent Fiscal Office , Pennsylvania drilled 446 new wells in 2025, up 44.3% and the first annual increase since 2022, with Lycoming and Bradford among the five counties that produced 70% of the state’s gas. More wells mean more freight, and most of it won’t fit in a box. Casing pipe comes in long joints, often 40 feet or more. Rig mats are big and awkward. Pump skids and wellhead parts get lifted on and off with a crane or a large loader. What the roads are like up there Getting to a well pad in Bradford County is rarely a straight shot. You can run US-6 into
