    If you would set outside the plant on any given day you could count a loaded semi leaving the plant about every 10 minutes, now if it's going overseas like you suspect then they would put it on a flat rail car and ship it to a port and not on a semi. Those semi loads are staying here in country, heck we're building new high speed rail lines all across our country and that's what the long rails are for. I used to drive the main highway back and forth and see these trucks loaded down with steel coming out of there.



    Just one reason that I use the scrap yard that I do, I know where mine goes. Not everyone can say that. But yes there is a broader problem than this.
