I drag a spread axle stepdeck or flatbed through cemetaries. Gets a little tight sometimes, or most of the time. Tight spots don’t have to have walls!!
A stepdeck , also referred to as "dropdeck", is a type of flatbed trailer that has one built in step to the deck to provide the capabilities of loading higher dimensional freight on the lower deck.
Sometimes there are walls, though. And poles! And curbs!
This was the tighest spot I've been to yet that wasn't backing off a street into an alley. Took me more than 20 minutes and 15+ GOALs.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.
