    I like to use a reefer for flatbed stuff, and the tanker works great for those dry van items. Personally I haven't hauled any cold products with a stepdeck, but I think it'd be okay if you tarped it all.

    I use a tanker, but sometimes it can be a challenge getting pallets in/out of the dome lid.

    Personally, I recommend one that moves freight from point A to point B.
