Skateboard vs Drop Deck

Is there a major difference between the two other the height?

 

The main difference is in the type of loads. Step decks require the driver to prop up some loads.

 

Thanks for the response

 

You can also carry bigger (taller) loads .
like oversize , tractors and equipment.

 

Nice. Better my options, I like that. Do you drive in NJ or Baltimore? How are the ports?

 

If your asking me . I stay away from both if at all possible.
I don't go anywhere near ports . Thank god !!!!

 

Why so? Any particular reason?

 

Step decks are usually heavier. Dundalk takes some getting used to but I don't mind it now. Actually prefer it. First time I was there I think I waited 3 hrs for someone to load me LOL.

 

I hate Baltimore for one , and I am about as fond of jersey as I am Baltimore. Lol
I pull reefer so I really have no point in being in any ports , but hell I guess if the money is good I would pull a container.

Lol, kinda like a lot lizard . I would pull anything for the right amount t of money.

 

No money in containers for time and hassle involved. Most flat loads will fit on a step, but not the other way around.

If going into ports, you will need a $132.50 TWIC card or pay for an escort which usually start @$50 per hour.
