So the whole trailer has to be flat and the same height? The little part that's raised higher close to the truck doesn't make it "flat"?

Ok, you win. You get the random thread of the day. Meanwhile turtles everywhere have itchy tails because they can't do a thing about it.

Typically the load only requires 25-30 feet of a "Flat" surface. We have 43ft on the lower deck, 10 feet on top, 53 feet total. 9.99 times out of 10 it can be done it's just that sometimes you get Freight Brokers that can't think outside the box. We always ask them the dimensions of the load and they clam up, usually because they don't know what they are doing. Are you a freight broker?

I think I understand your rant. You have something that is effectively as efficient at getting the job done as a "flatbed" yet sometimes people insist on using a "flatbed" even though the alternative would be just as good.

Is that the issue here?

I'm still not sure why you made a thread out of this though.

Essentially it's because they don't know what they are doing because they are paper pushers but yeah we don't have a rant section. Freight is hard to come by right now and it's frustrating to not be able to take a load when clearly we can.

Well technically my trailer is a "Step Deck," which makes it special.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Well, unlike the Cowboys, I will be appreciating the dollar bill more than ever. At least it can still give me four quarters.
