On an 18 wheeler truck, what is the bed of the truck usually made of?

Are the beds made up of aluminum typically, steel typically or a combination or some other material? Is there one type of material that MOST 18 wheeler truck beds are made of?

I would say steel. Aluminum probably wouldnt be quite as sturdy. |

Well the truck doesn't have a bed of its own. Rather they pull trailers. The there are a variety of trailers on the roads. some of the common trailers are flatbed, van, refrigerated, and tanker.
Generally, the frames of these are made of steel, aluminum, or a similar material. much of the surface material of vans and flatbed trailers will be oak wood planks. Oak is a good material because freight is often secured with nailed-down lumber or wood. Refrigerated trailer floors are usually an aluminum alloy. Tankers may be aluminum, stainless steel, or another metal depending on the specific freight to be hauled. |

Most of the trailers I have been around are standard van type trailers. By that I mean not refrigerated. They haul furniture and other dry good. Most of them had wooden floors. Typically oak. |
