Step Deck Lease-On FAQs
Specific questions about leasing on with a step deck.
What's the difference between step-deck and RGN?
Step-deck has a single drop near the kingpin, allowing taller freight on the rear deck. RGN (removable gooseneck) detaches at the front, letting you drive equipment directly onto the deck — used for very heavy machinery like dozers and excavators. Both qualify for our lease-on program.
Do I need oversize permits?
Permits are required for loads over 8.5 ft wide, 13.5 ft tall, or 53 ft long. Our team handles permit applications and routing for oversize loads — you focus on driving.
Can I run flatbed loads on a step-deck?
Yes — step-deck can carry any flatbed load. The reverse isn't true. Step-deck operators typically have access to BOTH flatbed loads and oversize freight, giving more dispatch flexibility.
