About this planner

What does it do?

It chains the freightcalcs engines: carton → pallet TI-HI → pallets per trailer/container → CBM and chargeable weight → estimated NMFC class. The same numbers you'd get from the five individual calculators, in one pass.

How accurate are vehicle counts?

Pallet positions come from real interior dimensions and the same packing engine as the pallet calculator, single-stacked. Real loading can differ — treat as planning estimates and confirm with your carrier.
