TRUXE Load Planner FAQ
How do I calculate how much load a truck can carry?
To estimate truck load capacity, check both weight and volume limits. Each truck type has a maximum payload (in kilograms or tonnes) and an internal cargo space (in cubic meters). You'll need to measure or know your cargo's length, width, and height to ensure it fits within both. 💡 TRUXE can do this automatically - you just enter your cargo details, and it calculates the best fit and weight balance for you.
How is container load capacity measured?
Container capacity is usually measured in CBM (Cubic Meters) - the total space inside the container. A standard 20ft container holds around 33 CBM, while a 40ft container holds about 67 CBM. However, depending on your cargo's weight, you might reach the weight limit before the volume limit. ⚙️ TRUXE helps balance both weight and space to maximize each container's efficiency.
What is CBM and how do I calculate it?
CBM (Cubic Meter) represents the volume of your cargo. The formula is: CBM = (Length × Width × Height × Quantity) ÷ 1,000,000 (when measured in centimeters) This helps determine how much space your cargo occupies inside a truck or container. 📦 TRUXE automatically calculates CBM and optimizes item placement.
How can I make sure my cargo is loaded safely?
Safe loading means maintaining even weight distribution, proper stacking, and securing fragile or heavy items. Overloading or uneven loads can cause vehicle imbalance and accidents. 🧩 TRUXE applies built-in safety and weight-balance rules to ensure compliant, safe load layouts.
How can I fit more cargo without overloading?
You can fit more by optimizing the arrangement, not just adding more weight. Proper orientation, stacking, and item grouping can save up to 10–20% of space. 🚀 TRUXE uses AI-based optimization to maximize load efficiency while staying within legal weight limits.
Can different cargo types be loaded together?
Yes - but only if handled properly. Fragile, hazardous, or oddly shaped items must be placed according to safety rules. 🔍 TRUXE classifies items by type and automatically recommends the safest, most efficient way to combine them.
What are common mistakes in truck or container loading?
Some frequent issues include: • Ignoring weight balance (too heavy on one side) • Not securing fragile or top-heavy cargo • Overloading beyond the legal axle limit • Poor space utilization due to manual estimation ✅ TRUXE eliminates guesswork - ensuring every load is safe, compliant, and optimized.
How can load planning reduce transport costs?
Efficient loading reduces empty space, trip frequency, and fuel usage - all of which cut overall logistics costs. 💰 TRUXE helps businesses lower transport expenses by improving every load's efficiency and reducing wasted space.
What information do I need before planning a load?
To plan effectively, you'll need: • Cargo dimensions and weight • Quantity and stacking ability of each item • Vehicle or container type • Any special handling requirements (fragile, oversized, etc.) 🧠 TRUXE simplifies this - just input your data, and it handles calculations and visualization automatically.
How do I know if I'm using the right truck or container?
Each cargo type has an ideal transport vehicle based on size, weight, and route distance. Using a smaller or oversized vehicle can increase costs and risks. 🚛 TRUXE's matching system recommends the best-fit truck or container for every shipment.
