How many pallets fit on a truck?

Estimate floor positions for a pallet size and equipment type. It compares straight and turned loading for your pallet footprint against the nominal interior of each equipment type, and shows which orientation fits more.

Estimated from pallet footprint and nominal interior dimensions. Real usable space is affected by wheel wells, bulkheads, reefer equipment, securement and the individual trailer. Pinwheeling can sometimes gain a position where neither orientation divides evenly — that one depends on the load, so ask rather than plan on it.

Interior figures are nominal. Wheel wells, bulkheads, reefer equipment, load bars and individual trailer build all reduce usable space. Flatbed height is open, so height limits come from legal and permit rules rather than the trailer. These calculators are for planning and estimating. Carrier rules, classification and usable capacity vary by carrier, equipment and commodity.
