What Step Deck Freight Looks Like
Step deck (also called drop deck) trailers have two levels. A higher front deck over the tractor and a lower main deck behind it. That drop in height means taller freight can clear bridges and overpasses that would be illegal on a standard flatbed.
Support Built For Step Deck
Height Clearance Planning
Routes are mapped specifically around bridge clearances for your freight's exact height, not a general estimate.
Ramp & Loading Coordination
For equipment that drives on, we confirm ramp availability and loading procedure with the shipper in advance.
Specialized Rate Negotiation
Step deck freight is less common than standard flatbed, and we make sure that specialization is reflected in the rate.
Permit & Compliance Support
Height and weight permits are handled by our compliance desk before the load is ever confirmed.
