Stepdeck or Flatbed?

I'm picking up a 51' Fontaine step Friday. After running the numbers and the dimensions on all my loads, I can for the majority on the step. Plus I can now run 10'+ tall loads and containers. I'll keep ya posted on how things go

 

How many loads are out there that are flat only? The only one I can think of is train wheels.

 

Steel beams over 40' long. Most places won't load a step even with levelers. Also Arcelor-Mittal will not load steps

 

NuCor steel will not load many steps, load levelers or not 80% of all loads require flat on trailers.

 

I know where up can get a 53' step combo with boxes and can locks for the same price.....
That price seems VERY high for a Revolution H. I'd keep shopping around

 

There is a dealer in TN that has several 53' Combo Fontaine steps with can locks, boxes, Alumnium rims, tire inflation systems, and will raise to dock height for $38,000 out the door.

ill make a call and get the name of the dealer but the guy just bought 3 of them.

 

I'm working on it, it is a Infinity AX trailer, not a revolution. But they all have the routed rub rails now. And the combo can hold 55k in 4'.

After looking on Truckpaper tho, I guess the price u were given is about right for a flat. I didn't realize they were so #### expensive now. I get a MAJOR deal buying mine thru Landstar.... But $40k for a trailer is still a lot of coin !!!
