    I wouldn’t want a step with out ramps. If that’s the option I would stick with a flatbed. Just a company driver’s opinion.

    I'd say that's good for OOs too. An extremely high percentage of drop deck freight is going to need ramps.

    Well I took the step. Already planning on building my own ramps/load levelers. We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks.

    No regrets on the decision after the fact either.
