Know the limits
A quick analysis of how much product you can fit into a truck or trailer can result in tremendous savings. You need to know the legal limit for weight, or the maximum load before products cube out. This allows you to squeeze in the maximum load without compromising safety or breaking laws – and can see you fit 10%-40% more products into a load than average.
Pool Points
Instead of multiple long trips, bring products to a central location, where it can then be split and moved to various locations within the vicinity.
Vehicle selection
