Anyone running a steep deck?
How consistent is the freight in the Mercer realm?
Is there a problem picking flatbed loads on a step? Knowing the deck length could be an issue that may not be a problem with a skateboard.
Step versatility isn't much value if the freight isn't there.
Each has advantages and disadvantages when comparing a step to flat.

53 step gives normally a 43 foot bed container locks for two twenties load levelers and if they don't like it next guy will. most places will load and use this setup if you really want some fun add a set of ten foot slide out ramps!

Looking at the load in the pic, would loading the smaller bundles under the [beams] work? Securing of course would have to be independent to not bare any load of the larger items. Thinking of keeping the load height and CG as low as possible. I'm thinking there may be times when a shipper would refuse to load out this way.
I've not run step so I would be a newbie with step. I see the versatility a step. Yet... -

I haven't been out there in years, but a buddy of mine says Long Beach won't load a container on a step any more, unless you have a 40ft bottom. No over hangs.
