Overview
Step Deck Freight, Dispatched Right
Step deck opens the door to freight a standard flatbed cannot legally haul — taller machinery, equipment, and specialized loads. The details matter even more here: exact heights, load positioning, and permit questions have to be answered before you commit. We handle that verification on every load.
Common Freight Types
- Agricultural and construction machinery
- Industrial equipment with height over legal flatbed limits
- Vehicles and specialty equipment
- Pre-fabricated components
- Oversized crates and skidded machinery
