The flatbed trailers are made of large or wide cargo which usually needs to be loaded with a forklift or crane.
The flatbeds can handle a maximum of 48,000 pounds. Continually, they have a length of 48 to 53 feet.
Step Deck
On the contrary, there are the step deck trailers types of freight in the trucking industry.
The step deck and flatbed trailers may be the same in length (48 to 53 feet) and weight (48,000) but yet they are different.
To put it in another way, the step deck trailers differ from the rest of the trailer in height. In other words, they are lower than the other types of freight.
Further, with the help of the step deck transportation, your trucking business can benefit and still keep the logistics to the minimum.
2. LTL or Less Than Truckload
