Calculate a Box Size Case study
Achieving Full Truckload Capacity
A medium-size freight company aims to optimize their fuel costs due to the rising prices. They decide that achieving full truckload capacity on their major transport routes will be the best way to achieve the savings.
Challenge: Full Truckload on Entire Fleet
The company’s fleet consists of a variety of vehicles, including minivans, sprinters and trucks. Since each vehicle has a different capacity and is being used for transporting different items, each one will require a unique calculation. The full truckload freight delivery best applies when products travel from Point A to B without stops, such as when transporting goods in between distribution centers.
Solution: Maximum Precision
Knowing the precise number of trucks/pallets needed to fulfill the transport, the warehouse team receives instructions that enable it to plan more effectively. Since the team knows which products go into which vehicle, they can make all the the necessary adjustments to maximize space even further. On top of impressive fuel savings, the warehouse staff saves time on logistical planning for each vehicle.
Benefit: Optimized Loading
In times when fuel prices are skyrocketing, achieving Full Truckload Capacity is crucial for maintaining profitable operations. This solution can be successfully applied to any company that transports goods between two points without stops.
