In my loading experience when I was pretty much the guru of scaling 20 to 23k pups.

A pup has 8 rows of pallet spaces if you will

First 2 spaces no more than 2400
First 4 spaces no more than 3200
First 6 spaces up to 7500 pounds as long as 6k of that weight was in rows 2 and 3.

First 8 spaces up to 10k pounds as long as 8k of that weight was in rows 2, 3 and 4.

2nd half
Rows 5 and 6 load as heavy as you want as long as front half was loaded properly.

Rows 6 and 7 up to 8,000 pounds in those 4 spots loaded evenly as long as you have weight on the front half.

Row 8 no more than 2,000.

I used to load for a supervisor before I became one myself and when I was done before we got the axles back I would tell him what theyd be and maybe I'd be off by 100 to 200 pounds on my prediction. He'd be like how the hell did you know that. Its all math once you know what a pup scales when its empty.

What are the guidelines for what a truckload should be ? We are hearing from customers it’s 6 skids . Did it change recently? I thought last we heard was 7 skid spots or 15000 lbs .

You can get a truckload price on any amount of freight,even if it’s two skids
