Use Case · Freight Cost Reduction

Every load leaving your dock
under capacity is money
you already paid for.

The situation most freight teams are in

Renegotiating contracts only goes so far. The real opportunity is already in your operation.

  • Trucks leave the dock at 90–95% payload — the gap is invisible without the right system.
  • End-of-week bunching displaces preferred carriers — spot trucks fill the gap at a 4–8% premium.
  • Both problems compound daily across every lane. Most teams have learned to live with them.
What changes when you fix both

Two targeted fixes. Permanent reduction in cost per unit shipped.

  • Every truck leaves at maximum legal payload — any shift, any loader, automatically.
  • Carrier slots reserved 30 days ahead — preferred carriers commit because volume is predictable.
  • The savings aren't a one-time project — they compound across every shipment, every year.

Two silent leaks in
every freight budget.

Underloaded truck — payload capacity wasted on every shipment
92% of trucks not fully loaded by weight or volume

The payload gap hiding in every load

Customers don't order to the maximum. Conservative planning leaves space unfilled. And without a system purpose-built to solve the weight puzzle, loaders default to what's safe — not what maximizes payload. A 5–8% gap per truck compounds daily into millions in avoidable freight spend.

Truck shipment spike — carrier rejections forcing spot market
4–8% extra cost when spot carriers replace preferred

The spike tax baked into your planning cycle

APS systems plan inventory by threshold — not by what the carrier network can absorb. The result: end-of-week bunching that preferred carriers can't handle. Spot market trucks fill the gap at a premium every single time it happens — which is every week.

One platform. Both problems solved.

AutoO2 load building software — dock floor optimization
Load Optimization
AutoO2

Close the payload gap — on every load, every shift.

AutoO2 ingests item dimensions, weights, and stacking constraints from your ERP — then solves the entire load across 300+ parameters simultaneously. Maximum legal payload, axle-legal, damage-free.

  • 300+ constraints solved simultaneously — weight, cube, axle distribution, damage, stacking rules.
  • Step-by-step RF guidance — any loader, any shift, same optimized result. No expertise dependency.
  • Order consolidation — fewer total trucks. Same delivery performance.

LevelLoad transportation planning — smooth carrier schedule
Network Planning
LevelLoad

Reserve preferred carriers before the spike happens.

LevelLoad builds a 30-day capacity-balanced deployment schedule across your network — smoothing daily volumes so preferred carriers can commit capacity in advance, not at last-minute spot rates.

  • 97% first tender acceptance — core carriers commit when volume is predictable.
  • 30-day planning horizon — carrier slots reserved before demand spikes hit the dock.
  • 60% variability reduction — eliminates end-of-week bunching and spot market dependency.
