17.5 tires on a stepdeck

[Chamberpains]

The main thing most guys dont look for but gets the most loads is having a 40' bottom deck and a raiseable suspension to get close to standard flatbed dock height. This way you can load a lot more freight. Big machinery, containers and they also can't refuse you by saying you can't be loaded from the tail because yes you can. Its all about being able to do anything within legal sizes. Stepdecks are not rare anymore. I've been at military bases loading with 50 other stepdecks at the same time. Also the height problem is corrected by simply ordering a DD. A double drop is just as easy to order than risking the waste of time having a stepdeck show up and be to tall to put the piece on. So the way you make yours special is versatility and don't be lazy with it.

10' tarps a very rarely needed. 8' drops do most of the jobs. But if you carry 3 special made 30' steel tarps you can turn them sideways and then they're 10' drops. Thinking like this with your equipment lets you carry less but do more. Also have 6 or so 32 or + foot 4" straps if you plan on doing over dimensional stuff. That allows you to get up and over stuff that is 10' x 10' anything bigger than that you'll probably just get creative with chains.
