Freight decisions

LTL vs FTL mode choice, consolidation savings, detention exposure, and container or unit-load cost decisions.

• Cartons per Pallet Optimizer Calculate how many cartons fit per pallet layer and total, checking both carton orientations and the pallet weight limit.
• Unit Load Cost Optimizer Compare two pallet configurations on total shipment cost, once partial-pallet rounding and each configuration's material and handling cost are applied.
• LTL vs FTL Decision Compare LTL and FTL freight cost against your service requirement to pick a mode.
• Mode Cost Comparator Compare standard and expedited freight cost once the cost of arriving late is priced in.
• Pallet Height Optimizer Find how many carton layers fit within a height limit once the pallet's own base height is accounted for, and the resulting total pallet…
• Layer Pattern Comparator Compare column stacking against interlocked (brick) layer patterns on cartons-per-layer and lateral stability risk.
• Double Stack Feasibility Check whether pallets can be safely double-stacked in a trailer on both height and weight, and the resulting trailer cube utilization gain.
• Container Load Planner Calculates how many unit loads fit in a container, checking both footprint orientations and the weight limit, not cube fit alone.
• Consolidation Savings Planner Calculates freight savings from consolidating partial-fill shipments into fuller loads, using volume-conserving math.
• Detention Cost Exposure Calculates real monthly detention cost exposure using free-time-netted billable hours, not the full dwell time.
