how to find linear feet


Recommended Posts

It’s simpler than it seems! Remember, 1 foot = 12 inches. A standard pallet measures 48"x40", which is 4 feet by 3 feet 4 inches. If you’re loading partials, you can sometimes place them sideways and fit about 30 pallets in a 53-foot dry van instead of the usual 26. The trailer width is 102 inches; anything wider on an open deck is considered oversized at 8 feet 6 inches. I’ve been a dispatcher for 10 years, and I’ve never needed a special formula for linear feet. I usually just calculate and visualize how the load will fit.
