A step deck (also called a drop deck) has two deck levels — a higher front section and a lower rear section. This allows hauling taller freight that would exceed legal height limits on a standard flatbed, making it ideal for tall machinery, construction equipment, and industrial loads.
Step deck rates typically range from $2.50–$4.50/mile depending on load dimensions, permit requirements, lane, and freight type. Oversized and permitted loads command premium rates over standard flatbed.
Up to 8% of gross load revenue. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no contracts. Your first week is free — zero commission so you can see the results before you pay anything.
Let LoadEX find your loads, handle all permits, and manage the paperwork — so your step deck is always earning, never sitting idle.
