"A few years ago, most logistics teams still handled truck loading with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and a lot of gut feeling. Today, the pace of change in supply chains makes that unthinkable. While some operators still fine-tune load layouts manually, others let intelligent software calculate the perfect arrangement, weight balance, and route in seconds. And the difference? It's measured in millions of dollars saved each year."
"Empty miles have long haunted the trucking industry. In the U.S., 20-35% of all truck miles are driven with empty trailers, wasting fuel, time, and profit. But logistics leaders have discovered that advanced load planning software can reduce empty miles by up to 64% and cut total mileage by nearly a quarter. No wonder the load planning solutions market is booming from $1 billion in 2022 to an expected $1.55 billion by 2029, growing at around 6.5% annually."
"Across the industry, 40% of outbound trucks operate below 90% capacity utilization, and about a quarter of companies cite poor load optimization as a leading cause of rising transport costs. Every cubic meter left unused is pure waste of money, resources, and environmental potential. Modern software eliminates this inefficiency. Instead of relying on guesswork or manual trial and error, AI-powered platforms calculate the most efficient load configuration instantly."
A few years ago most logistics teams handled truck loading with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and gut feeling. Rapid supply-chain change has pushed operators to adopt intelligent load planning software that calculates optimal arrangements, weight balance, and route in seconds. Advanced load planning reduces empty miles by up to 64% and can cut total mileage by nearly a quarter. Market value grew from $1 billion in 2022 toward $1.55 billion by 2029. Automated planning saved Intercem one in ten containers from shipping half-empty. Across the industry 40% of outbound trucks run below 90% capacity; AI platforms increase utilization, lower fuel use, and improve scheduling and safety.
