Workflow map

Start at the stage that matches the job in front of you; each stage links directly to the calculators and lookup tools that support it.

Full tool list
  1. 1

    Estimate route cost

    Turn miles, fuel economy, diesel spread and speed assumptions into operating cost, surcharge recovery and stopping-distance checks.

  2. 2

    Plan freight density

    Convert shipment dimensions and pallet layout into density, class and truckload utilization.

  3. 3

    Check load margins

    Keep payload, axle, ballast, PTO power and trailer tongue loads inside practical limits.

Tools in this workflow

Calculators come first, followed by lookup tools and reference pages when this workflow needs tabular data.

All Automotive
Calculator Fleet Fuel Cost Fleet route fuel, idle fuel, daily fuel, period fuel cost and cost per mile from MPG, route distance, vehicles and trips. Calculator Trucking Fuel Surcharge Per-mile trucking fuel surcharge, total FSC, linehaul split and diesel recovery margin from entered diesel price, base price, MPG and miles. Calculator Freight Density Freight density, pallet cube, dimensional weight and billable-weight screen from handling-unit weight, count and packed dimensions. Calculator Truckload Capacity Truckload pallet positions, stack levels, trailer cube, payload margin and limiting factor from trailer and pallet dimensions. Calculator Truck Axle Load Static front and rear axle loads, GVWR margin, GAWR margins and remaining payload from scale weights, wheelbase and cargo CG positions. Calculator Truck Payload Truck payload used, GVWR margin, front/rear axle loads and extra cargo capacity from ratings, scale weights and load split. Calculator Trailer Tongue Weight Trailer tongue weight, tongue percent, axle-group load and load-position shift from empty trailer weight, hitch-to-axle distance and cargo CG locations. Calculator Ballast Weight Target ballast, counterweight mass, ballast weight chart, volume, standard weight count and mass-distance moment from load arms and material density. Calculator Tractor PTO Horsepower Tractor PTO and implement horsepower from shaft torque/RPM or draft pull/speed, with efficiency, margin, utilization and equivalent PTO torque. Calculator Stopping Distance Reaction distance, braking distance and total stopping distance from speed, reaction time and deceleration g.
