Trailerdecking.com is the leading on-line wholesaler of Apitong trailer decking, trailer flooring, hardwood truck floors, apitong shiplap decking, laminated truck body floors, and apitong wood trailer components. We specialize in Keruing, Genuine Apitong and Brazilian Apitong, Angelim Pedra.
We set up our trailer flooring company on the premise that our customers didn't want to pay any unnecessary mark-ups to brokers and wholesalers who don't add value to the transaction. We buy all our material directly from the manufacturers overseas, we inspect it ourselves, and we don't use brokers or wholesalers to get the job done. Trailerdecking.com doesn’t just provide trailer flooring, we also provide stains and accessories to help complete all your projects, no matter how big or small, from start to finish.
We have our own offices in Indonesia and in Brazil. All of our logistics are handled from the point of origin and we work hard to get our customers the best deals available in terms of quality, lengths, and transportation costs.

THE FOUNDERS OF TRAILERDECKING.COM
Our business is part of Nova USA Wood Products, an international leader in tropical hardwood decking, siding, and industrial products. Steve Getsiv and Bill Christou started TrailerDecking.com in 2009 with help from John Buchanan, a longtime customer of Steve's. John passed away in October 2010 but he was instrumental in helping the company establish initial contacts in Malaysia and Indonesia.
After working for several years as a logger and surveyor, John obtained a degree in forestry from the University of California at Berkeley. John spent many years working and traveling throughout Southeast Asia and then worked in both the import and export lumber business. John had extensive knowledge of the truck flooring business and worked in the Apitong business for most of his career.
Steve began working in the truck flooring business in 1987 and then spent 18 years working in various capacities from purchasing and quality control to sales and marketing. Steve started Nova USA Wood Products in 2005 in partnership with his best supplier in Brazil, Nova Forest Products SA. We set out to build an outstanding international trading company, specializing in tropical hardwoods.
