Load Planning Software

Shipping and packing logistics software to find how to load a truck, trailer, flatbed, container or railcar with freight such as paper roll, pallet, skid, crate, box, etc. Load Planning is a very powerful and easy-to-use truck loading, trailer loading, container loading and railcar loading software that automatically suggests one (or more) load plan for transportation of paper rolls, pallets, skids and boxes via trailers, containers and railcars.

Benefits

Reduce transportation costs with cargo load planning optimization
Minimize labor time needed for creating load plans
Minimize cost of dunnage materials through better load patterns and cargo blocking strategies

Minimize cargo damages with good load planning
Avoid overweight fines and associated costs (for trailer & container)
Avoid round trips to weigh scale and save time and money (for trailer & container)

Load Planning Strategy

Uses a wizard concept to automatically suggest loading plans which are cost effective for any type of trailer, container or railcar (boxcar).

Store or import in the Load Xpert database weights and dimensions of all your shipping items ( SKU ) and your vehicles (trailer, container and railcar)
Select the items/SKUs to be shipped along with the vehicle
Select mode of transportation (road, intermodal or rail)

Software will automatically suggests one or more load plans with the following characteristics:

Maximizes payload while complying with axle loads and center of gravity limits
Inserts automatically dunnage material such as riser, void filler, air bag, strap, etc.
Minimizes cargo securement needs while complying with industry best practices for cargo securement
Identifies cargo requiring securement.
