Step decks are used both for legal loads and heavy haul trucking jobs.\r\n\r\nThe step deck trailer has two levels. Unlike a standard flatbed, the step deck’s bed drops down after clearing the tractor. The top deck is 60” off the ground, while the lower main deck is about 2’ lower.\r\n\r\nStep deck trucking is used for tall loads. In fact, step deck trailers can carry cargo up to 10’ high as legal loads.  For that reason, they commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight.\r\n\r\nBecause step deck trailers are so low to the ground, forklifts easily load them from ground level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4260\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Stepdeck.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading. That includes construction equipment, forklifts, trucks and tanks.\r\n\r\nConventional double drop trailers (those without RGNs) more often are loaded by crane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5263 size-full\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/double-drop-lowboy.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)</li>\r\n 	<li>Single axle: 20,000 lbs.</li>\r\n 	<li>Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][break]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits.

Step decks are used both for legal loads and heavy haul trucking jobs.\r\n\r\nThe step deck trailer has two levels. Unlike a standard flatbed, the step deck’s bed drops down after clearing the tractor. The top deck is 60” off the ground, while the lower main deck is about 2’ lower.\r\n\r\nStep deck trucking is used for tall loads. In fact, step deck trailers can carry cargo up to 10’ high as legal loads.  For that reason, they commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight.\r\n\r\nBecause step deck trailers are so low to the ground, forklifts easily load them from ground level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4260\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Stepdeck.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading. That includes construction equipment, forklifts, trucks and tanks.\r\n\r\nConventional double drop trailers (those without RGNs) more often are loaded by crane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5263 size-full\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/double-drop-lowboy.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)</li>\r\n 	<li>Single axle: 20,000 lbs.</li>\r\n 	<li>Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][break]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Weight cannot exceed 20,000 lbs. per axle.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver.

Most double dropshave a “flip axle” to handle the weight of these large loads. The flip axle is attached to the trailer’s rear frame by hinge plates and pins.

Each counts as a separate axle when calculating per axle weight limits. Under federal law, spread axles may carry 40,000 lbs. on the two axles. (State laws vary.)\r\nSpread axle trailers are more stable when loading and unloading. Cargo weight between axles is better distributed. Spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces.\r\nHowever, the spread axle\'s wider turning radius can be difficult to maneuver.

A loaded truck that’s over 16’ wide, 16’ tall, 160’ long and/or 200,000 lbs. would qualify in most.\r\nThese “super loads” require special, often custom, versions of flatbed and specialty trailers. They present potential disruptions and risks to fellow motorists and physical surroundings. That’s why the states and cities they travel through require extensive permitting processes.\r\nA state or city’s permitting process for super loads may require any or all of the following:\r\n• Engineering survey of the load\r\n• Route survey to see that overhead signals, lines, bridges, etc. don’t pose a contact hazard\r\n• Bridge analysis, determining the weight limit of the load\r\n• Analysis of traffic patterns and railroad crossing schedules\r\n• Plan for special ramps to cross railroad tracks\r\n• Analysis of effect on emergency vehicle navigation\r\n• Drawing or sketch of shipment\r\n• Shipper’s letter\r\n• Explanation of why alternative transportation isn’t available, e.g., barge or rail\r\n• Practice run of the route\r\n• Assignment of state-vetted escort support\r\n• Schedule accommodating day and/or time restrictions in different states. (In some states, super loads travel only during daylight hours on weekdays. In others, they travel only at night or on a Sunday. In some jurisdictions, super loads may not travel during spring thaw.)\r\n• Surety bond\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'Specialized Heavy Haul Jobs: A Truck Driver\'s Guide', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3111-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-07-09 10:56:12', '2018-07-09 10:56:12', '', 3111, 'http://lonestar-llc.biz/3111-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Each counts as a separate axle when calculating per axle weight limits. Under federal law, spread axles may carry 40,000 lbs. on the two axles.

Step deck trailers cancarry legal loads with cargo up to 10’ high.They commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight that’s over 9’ tall.Because step deck trailers are so low, forklifts can load them from ground level.

Most double dropshave a “flip axle” to handle the weight of these large loads. The flip axle is attached to the trailer’s rear frame by hinge plates and pins. It folds down for heavy loads, then back up onto the back deck for storage.\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading.

Each state has its own weight limits, typically 46,000 pounds for legal loads and 80,000 pounds with a routine permit. (See “Super Loads” below.)\r\nIn some cases, the Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula further reduces that limit. (Many states have their own bridge formulas, most notably California.) The Formula calculates weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles. It prevents the concentrating weight in short trucks or on short spans of long trailers.\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n• Steer axle: 12,000 lbs.\r\n• Single axle: 20,000 lbs.\r\n• Drive axle: 34,000 lbs.\r\n• Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"SPREAD AXLE TRAILER – OR SPLIT TANDEMS\"][vc_column_text]Spread axles provide flexibility when placing heavy loads on a trailer. A spread axle trailer is bound by the same gross weight limits, but it can carry more weight per axle.\r\nStandard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together they may carry 34,000 lbs. “Split” tandems are at least 10’ feet apart. Each counts as a separate axle when calculating per axle weight limits. Under federal law, spread axles may carry 40,000 lbs. on the two axles. (State laws vary.)\r\nSpread axle trailers are more stable when loading and unloading. Cargo weight between axles is better distributed. Spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces.\r\nHowever, the spread axle\'s wider turning radius can be difficult to maneuver.

A loaded truck that’s over 16’ wide, 16’ tall, 160’ long and/or 200,000 lbs. would qualify in most.\r\nThese “super loads” require special, often custom, versions of flatbed and specialty trailers. They present potential disruptions and risks to fellow motorists and physical surroundings. That’s why the states and cities they travel through require extensive permitting processes.\r\nA state or city’s permitting process for super loads may require any or all of the following:\r\n• Engineering survey of the load\r\n• Route survey to see that overhead signals, lines, bridges, etc. don’t pose a contact hazard\r\n• Bridge analysis, determining the weight limit of the load\r\n• Analysis of traffic patterns and railroad crossing schedules\r\n• Plan for special ramps to cross railroad tracks\r\n• Analysis of effect on emergency vehicle navigation\r\n• Drawing or sketch of shipment\r\n• Shipper’s letter\r\n• Explanation of why alternative transportation isn’t available, e.g., barge or rail\r\n• Practice run of the route\r\n• Assignment of state-vetted escort support\r\n• Schedule accommodating day and/or time restrictions in different states. (In some states, super loads travel only during daylight hours on weekdays. In others, they travel only at night or on a Sunday. In some jurisdictions, super loads may not travel during spring thaw.)\r\n• Surety bond\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" top_padding=\"10%\" bottom_padding=\"10%\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][heading]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Love big loads and specialty trailers?</strong>\r\n<strong>See heavy hauling, step deck trucking or super loads in your future?</strong></p>\r\n[/heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" bg_image=\"2926\" bg_position=\"center top\" bg_repeat=\"no-repeat\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"center\" top_padding=\"10%\" bottom_padding=\"10%\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20pt; color: #ffffff;\">JOIN OUR FAMILY</span></p>\r\n[button open_new_tab=\"true\" color=\"accent-color\" hover_text_color_override=\"#fff\" size=\"large\" url=\"https://intelliapp.driverapponline.com/c/lonestarllc?uri_b=ia_lonestarllc_83108081\" text=\"Fill Out Application Now\" color_override=\"\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20pt; color: #ffffff;\">OR</span></p>\r\n[button color=\"accent-color\" hover_text_color_override=\"#fff\" size=\"large\" url=\"tel:+18667508520\" text=\"Call Now: 1-866-750-8520\" color_override=\"\"][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'Specialized Heavy Haul Jobs: A Truck Driver\'s Guide', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3111-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-07-09 11:00:29', '2018-07-09 11:00:29', '', 3111, 'http://lonestar-llc.biz/3111-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),
