Flat bed is more flexible for LTL. Even if it's a couple of pallets you can use a tarp to hold it together. Most guys buy a 4 dr Dodge and use the back for a sleeper but I have heard that DOT doesn't recognize that. If your running 26000 GVW or less it doesn't matter.
I would never use a bumper pull.
The reason the flat weighs more is the frame under the trailer. A van's frame is the box.

It does matter about the sleeper when he is a combination vehicle.... if its a gooseneck its considered a combittion bumber pull is different. when adding gooseneck trailer and truck gvw its usually always over 26000 doesnt matter what you tag it for DOT looks at axle weights.

I have got a flat bed and have installed a ramp for towing. It carries load and run smoothly. I am very much satisfied with it.
