The basic difference between a Flat-bed and a step deck is in the construction and design. A Flat-bed is a platform trailer with a flat surface, while a step deck is similar but has a drop-down deck at the front. This allows for the trailer to be lower to the ground, improving access for loading and unloading, and better fuel economy.
A Dry Van is an enclosed trailer typically used for shipping objects that require protection from the elements. They are generally constructed from aluminum or steel, and can range from 28 to 53 feet in length.
A Conestoga, also known as a "rolling tarp", is a type of trailer with a rigid frame and a flexible cover.
