Truckload spot rates are up 23% and tender rejections sit at three-year highs in 2026. Here's why cube utilization and smarter load planning are the cheapest fix for a tightening freight market.
Backline Logic is building Cargo Measure, a LIDAR scanning app that turns real road cases into accurate dimensions in seconds and feeds them straight into your Truck Packer load plan.
L-Acoustics K1, K2, K3, the new L1 flagship, CS1, KS28, KS21, SB18, A10, A15, and the LA-RAK III amp rack are now pre-modeled in the Truck Packer Manufacturer Library. Browse the case dimensions online, download the CSV, or drop them straight into a pack.
L-Acoustics' new L1 line array compresses the audio package for a full arena tour into roughly half a 53-foot trailer. Here is the math on cabinet count, weight, and trailer volume, plus what 30 years of PA shrinkage means for touring logistics.
Length, width, and height limits for trucks and trailers vary dramatically across the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and China. Here is the complete country-by-country guide for tour managers, production teams, and freight planners moving gear internationally in 2026.
Building an ATA Carnet General List from five vendors' pull sheets is the silent budget-eater of international touring. Here's a free Truck Packer tool that combines PDF, XLSX, and CSV manifests into one Boomerang-ready General List in under two minutes.
Master Tour is where your tour lives day-to-day — but the load plan never makes it onto the day sheet. Here's how to wire Truck Packer pack views into specific Master Tour dates so the right crew sees the right truck diagram on the right day.
Backline Logic is building Cargo Measure, a LIDAR-powered measurement app that scans road cases with an iPhone Pro and feeds the dimensions straight into Truck Packer. Here's why we're building it and what it changes for touring crews.
Arena dock windows are shrinking, the entertainment driver pool is thinner than it has been in years, and the only thing standing between you and a chaotic 6 a.m. load-in is a pack plan that lives somewhere other than the loadmaster's head.
Spot rates are up 23% year over year, tender rejections are hovering near 14%, and the soft-market era of free truck adds is finished. Here's what tighter capacity means for load planning in touring, drayage, moving, and general freight — and why the inefficient pack plan you got away with in 2024 is now an expensive liability.
Household goods moving is heading into a $116B peak season with fewer experienced lead drivers. Here's how 3D load planning, LIDAR scanning, and shared pack plans are crossing over from touring and freight into the relocation industry.
An inside look at Cargo Measure, the LIDAR-based measurement app we're building at Backline Logic to scan road cases on the warehouse floor and push accurate dimensions straight into Truck Packer.
