Question A Question for Truck Drivers
Today I came up on a flatbed semitrailer that had a what looked like a fold down step mounted on the rear end. I'm not positive but it looked like the step was made of cast aluminum. Anyone here know what I'm talking about and do you know who makes those steps?

Yeah, I thought not. Good chance that what you saw was a custom design and build.
