    I only see videos at that link, no photos. But if there were mainly orange trailers in the photos then that would be the Schneider yard.

    At this link http://www2.tbo.com/news/nation-wor...truck-trailers-around-in-dallas-ar-ar-388093/ , I think a mistake might have been made in the identification of at least one of the parking lots that pictures were taken in because there seem to be an awful lot of Schneider trailers in that "Flying J" parking lot if one of the Schneider hubs is also located in the area.

    pic 15 & 16 was across the interstate from Schneider.

    Lots of salvage titles to be had for you trailer thieves out there!

    Heard that Schneider is routing all available drivers to their Dallas facility.

    The drivers will be used as free labor to clean up the mess.

    Looking at some pics and videos and doing some measuring, it looks like some trucks were in fact flew over 100 feet into the air and the trailers were in fact flew over 100 to 300 feet into the air. Some glad I'm not down there. No one reported hurt as of yet.

    Funny how all the tank trailers are pretty much fine.. Maybe a couple turned a bit. Those empty dry vans really catch the wind nicely!!!
