How many pallets fit in a 48' and 53' truck?
I'm learning the trucking business and want to know how many pallets will fit in a 48 ft (basic dry van) and a 53 ft truck. Also, if you do know can you break it down - as in I know you can 'pinwheel', go straight in, and put one row sideways. I also know some Trailers are 102" and I think 98" so that makes a difference too. Is there anyway to find this info and have it all make sense? Thanks
The standard size for a pallet is 48x45. In a 53 foot truck you can fit 26 pallets in total, 13 on each side. double stacked that's 52.
In a 48 foot truck its 24 skids, 12 on each side. double stacked that's 48. This is will all pallets loaded side ways. The pin wheel method is only worth doing if the load is double stacked and unstableand needs to be loaded tightly. If the load is stable enough loading them all on sideways is just fine and not so time consuming.
Good Luck.
