One might say the following: “I’m using trucks for the transportation of goods; I assume your software can create load plans for containers only. Our company has custom-made trucks, I’m sure you won’t be able to help us optimize our loading.” Yes, people often think that load planning software can only handle simple containers or standardized cargo spaces. That's why it always makes us smile when we set our customers right by a practical demonstration of how cargo spaces in EasyCargo work.

Create load plans for oversized cargo directly in EasyCargo. You heard us correctly! In our load optimization software, it's now possible to create overhangs or reduce cargo space layout only with a few clicks.

A truck or load overhang is a portion of a load or vehicle attachment that projects beyond the front or rear wheels of a vehicle, sides, or the front or rear bumper of a vehicle if it's equipped with a front or rear bumper.

We have already written a lot about planning the load as efficiently as possible. That’s why this article will be a little different. We have prepared for you some practical exercises that will test your knowledge of EasyCargo.

The exercises below, although slightly modified, are part of the handbook for teachers and professors involved in the EasyCargo for schools project. These materials will soon be available for download on our website.

You often ask us whether it is possible to set up a gradual loading or unloading of items in EasyCargo if you have several unloadings planned during one transport. The answer is yes. For similar situations, there is a function called Priority Groups. With this function, you can easily create up to 50 groups, which can be useful not only for different destinations but also for adjusting the order in which the items are loaded. The following video shows how to create and use priority groups:
