STEP-DECK TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
When sourcing options for large or oversized freight, shippers should consider the versatility of step deck transportation services. Step deck trailers are a type of flatbed featuring a rising step deck towards the front that sits above the tractor unit. Used for hauling taller shipments that can become challenging when using other variations of equipment, step deck trailers allow cargo to sit lower down, avoiding height restrictions and eliminating the need to apply for additional permits.
