Frequently Asked Questions About Flatbed Trucks
What is a flatbed truck? What is a step deck truck? What is a low deck truck?
A flatbed truck has one solid flat bed for loading up longer loads. A step deck truck has a bed with two levels, one higher than the other, used primarly for hauling taller loads. A low deck truck also has two levels, but the secondary level dips lower until it almost touches the road in order for easy unloading of heavy goods.
