Fewer trips per pool
Same freight, fewer trucks dispatched. CARRIER compresses a pool against your specific fleet and constraints and consistently produces fewer trips than a hand-planned schedule or a single-heuristic planner.
Stop guessing what goes on which trailer, in what order, on which trip. CARRIER decides — the dispatcher signs.
CARRIER is a load planning runtime for freight operators. Box pools ingest from the dock, an operator queue, or a CSV. The runtime produces a complete plan for every trip — which box on which truck, where in the trailer, in what order, on which axle — and the dispatcher reviews and signs each docket before it commits. The outcomes show up on the first dispatch: fewer trips per pool, tighter trailer utilisation, multi-stop loads packed in delivery order, DOT-bound by default, and a paper trail that holds up to audit.
The dispatcher's daily question — "what goes on which trailer, in what order, on which trip?" — becomes a queue of dockets to review rather than a spreadsheet to wrangle. What that means concretely, on day one:
Same freight, fewer trucks dispatched. CARRIER compresses a pool against your specific fleet and constraints and consistently produces fewer trips than a hand-planned schedule or a single-heuristic planner.
Every cubic foot the trailer can legally carry, the runtime fills — while staying inside DOT axle limits and respecting your class rules. Utilisation often pushed into the high 90s on bulky freight.
The trailer is divided into stop zones. Load order matches the delivery sequence — first-off goes in last. No more re-stacking at stop three because the boxes are in the wrong order at the back.
Axle weight limits, kingpin-to-rear-axle distance, payload caps, trailer dimensions — all bind before the plan is generated. A plan that violates a constraint never reaches the dispatcher. Signing means signing into the envelope.
Every box carries a class — heavy, medium, light, fragile, plus operator-defined classes for hazmat, temp-controlled, oversize. Class is a hard constraint: fragile never under heavy, hazmat segregated, temp-controlled near the reefer.
Every trip generates a printable, signable manifest — box-by-box placement, stop sequence, axle load, constraint envelope, signed timestamp. Auditors get the paper trail. Drivers get the load chart. Operators get the receipts.
Most load planners run a single packing heuristic and accept whatever it produces. The problem: no single heuristic is right for every load. A pool of bulky low-weight freight wants one strategy. A pool hitting axle limits wants another. A pool with mixed fragility wants a third. CARRIER's advantage is mathematical — a bank of engineered optimisation strategies, raced in parallel, ranked on what matters operationally. The specifics of the bank stay inside the engagement.
CARRIER solves every pool several ways at once. Each strategy is engineered for a different binding constraint — space, weight distribution, class mix, route geometry, fuel economy. The strategy that wins is the one that fits the pool on the dock today, not the one that won last week.
The candidate plans are scored on trips required and load efficiency — the two numbers your CFO actually cares about. The winner is surfaced alongside the runners-up so the trade-off is visible. The dispatcher can switch strategies or override a placement without leaving the runtime.
The inputs, the strategy applied, the dispatcher who signed, the time — all written to the run log. Any docket can be replayed against any historical state and reach the same answer. The math is auditable end-to-end. Reproducibility is engineered in, not bolted on.
A box enters the pool — scanner at the dock, dispatcher queue, or CSV import. CARRIER records its id, dimensions, weight, class, and stop assignment. The pool keeps growing through the morning; the runtime is ready whenever the dispatcher is.
When the dispatcher hits go, the runtime solves the pool against your fleet — several strategies in parallel, ranked on trips and load efficiency. The output is a complete trip plan: which box on which trip, where in the trailer, in what order.
The dispatcher opens each trip docket, reviews the placement, accepts the recommendation (or switches strategies, or overrides a box), and signs. Only a signed docket commits. The signature, the strategy, the inputs are written to the run log.
CARRIER pays off most where load planning is a real daily decision rather than a once-a-week scheduling task. Three operator profiles are the clearest fit — the math compounds fastest at this kind of dispatch volume and complexity.
Trucking companies and manufacturers running their own trucks, where dispatch volume is high enough that load planning is a real cost center. Every percentage point of utilisation matters across hundreds of dispatches a week. CARRIER compresses trips, raises utilisation, and gives dispatchers hours back per day.
Less-than-truckload carriers, regional 3PLs, food and beverage delivery, retail replenishment — operations where every truck makes multiple drops and unload order matters as much as load efficiency. CARRIER's stop-zone packing makes drivers faster at every stop and removes the re-stacking penalty at the back of the trailer.
Hazmat, refrigerated, oversize, food-grade, fragile — operators where class constraints, segregation rules, and audit trails are not optional. CARRIER treats class as a hard constraint and produces a signed, replayable docket for every trip. The compliance paper trail builds itself with every dispatch.
