Truck pack calculator
Pack the truck before the truck shows up. How many trucks you need, what fits where, load bars, straps, crew, load time, and the carbon — on real truck floor plans, in 2D and 3D.

What the truck pack calculator works out
Trucks needed
How many trucks the gear actually fits in, on real truck floor plans — 2D and 3D.
Pack strategy
Fast load-in, tight, or green (lowest-CO₂) — see the trade-offs side by side.
Load bars & straps
Load bars, ratchet straps, and securing hardware, counted for the pack.
Crew & load time
Estimated crew size and load/unload time so you can call the right number of hands.
Carbon estimate
A diesel CO₂e estimate per strategy — the green pack, quantified.
Case catalog + PDF
377 real road-case specs, searchable, and a printable pack sheet for the dock.

Trucks needed, load bars, straps, crew, load time, and CO₂ — print the pack sheet.
Truck pack calculator — FAQ
How many trucks do I need for a show?
It depends on case dimensions, weight, stackability, and the truck size. The truck pack calculator places your road cases on real truck floor plans and returns the number of trucks needed, plus the load bars, straps, and crew for that pack.
How do I make a truck loading plan?
Add your cases, pick a truck, and the tool arranges them in 2D and 3D, then prints a pack sheet for the dock so the crew loads the same way every time.
Can it estimate the carbon of a load-out?
Yes — it returns a diesel CO₂e estimate per strategy (fast, tight, green), so you can see the lowest-carbon pack and what it costs in trucks or time.
Is the truck pack calculator free to use?
It’s open to every crew. It’s the same packing engine inside Wavemist’s production platform, used here for the whole industry.
