Lets say you
have an order for 9 EUR pallets, how many loading meters left on a
trailer? 9 EP = 4EPx2+1 or 4 pallets on each side
+ 1 pallet on one side; so 0.8 m x5= 4m of goods - 1
pallet 13.6m-4m=9.6m + 1 pallet = 9.6m loading meters left or 34EP-9EP= 25 EP
left; 25 EP-1=24 EP, 24/2=12 pallets can be loaded on each side + 1 pallet.
12EPx0.8m=9.6 loading meter and 1 pallet.
Width of trucks
(wide inside of standard trailer)
Width of "normal"
tautliners or bigger trucks is 2.48m. It may happen the width of the
cargo is 2.50m. This kind of width is unsuitable for normal tilt
trucks, so it should and usually is carried out with FLAT or OPEN
trucks, which can carry such goods with no problem.

Weight of truck &
groupage When doing groupage
for tautliners. It is very important to load the goods with more weight on the
back where the truck has 3 axles. So if possible load lower weight of a
partial load/cargo in-front of the trailer, and on the back of the trailer
the goods with more weight.
