Step Deck Trailers – Single Drop Trailers

F.Y.I and extra info on these types of setups:

Most Step decks do not have loading ramps. We need to specify if it is a dock-to-dock transit with the customer or business before pricing and sending out the contract and driver; this way, the client can handle loading and offloading dock to dock. Therefore, our driver will not be required to have loading ramps to load the freight. (regular step deck without loading ramps) Now if loading ramps are required to get the unit “deck loaded,” we need to specify this for two reasons:#1 so dispatch can list it correctly & #2. Hence, the proper carrier accepts the load with the appropriate equipment to load the unit safely.
