In August 2026 SourceForge ranked 30 load planning tools and Truck Packer was not one of them. It is now, at fifth of 51. An honest head to head against Cube-IQ, EasyCargo and Cargo-Planner, run on one real 59-case tour load, with the screenshots attached.
An empty touring road case runs about 30 to 175 lb. Loaded, it's often two to three times that. Why case makers and rental houses quote different weights, and how to keep shell weights out of your load plan.
The stacking rules a crew chief carries in their head, written down: what ATA 300 actually requires of a lid, why caster dishes decide the stack, the caster math on threes instead of fours, and which cases are never on the bottom. Tell us where this is wrong before we build it.
The industry splits into two camps: production managers who build the truck pack in their head, and people renting a $1,530-a-year CAD suite to draw boxes. Neither one can tell you if the pack they called was the best one available.
Multi-truck packing landed in v0.10, and the change that matters is downstream: crew view and PDF export now generate per container, with their own checklist, checkbox state and weight readout per truck.
Fall routing is where a rig stops fitting in one trailer. The hard part of a two or three truck pack is not volume, it is that unload order, department integrity, and per-truck weight are constraints that span trucks. What we think the feature has to solve.
Gross weight is the easy limit. Axle limits and the Federal Bridge Formula are the ones that pull a tour truck into a scale house. Here is why spacing decides legality, plus a look at an unshipped prototype we are working through, with no promise it ever lands.
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.
