The right load pattern,
built automatically.

LoadPattern arranges every pallet on the truck, with row-by-row instructions, securement placement, and axle weight estimates. Designed to pass the scale, before the driver arrives.

The Problem

Most facilities load
by instinct.

Where you put the pallets determines everything. LoadPattern engineers the pallet arrangement to do two jobs at once: stay structurally sound through transit, and distribute weight so you pass at the scale.

What usually happens
Loads built from habit, with no documented pattern or sequence
Securement placed wherever there's room, as an afterthought
Nobody checks axle weights until the driver hits a scale
A scale violation: $10,000+ fine, missed window, carrier flagged
No record of what the load looked like, or why it failed
What LoadPattern does
Generates the best pattern automatically, before loading starts
Row-by-row sequence on the dock's phones before the truck arrives
Securement placement shown right on the pattern diagram
Axle weights and tandem window solved, no surprises at the scale
Every load documented with a printable sheet and scale log
The Everyday Problem

New item?
Plug it in.

A new product lands on your dock and nobody has loaded it before. Enter the pallet count and weight, and LoadPattern hands back the best arrangement and tells you whether it passes, in seconds, instead of figuring it out by trial and error.

New accounts
3PLs and copackers onboard new customers constantly, each one bringing freight the facility has never handled. Get a compliant pattern on day one.
New & rotating SKUs
Seasonal items, product launches, and constantly rotating SKUs each need their own pattern. Build and save them as fast as they come in.
Acquired portfolios
Acquire a brand and inherit its whole SKU list, suddenly responsible for items no one on your floor has loaded. Solve them all in one place.
How It Works

Four inputs.
Everything else is automatic.

Pattern Generation
Enter pallet count, weight, trailer type, and orientation. LoadPattern generates load arrangements ranked by estimated DOT compliance, with axle weight estimates for each, best option first.
Tandem Window
The precise slide range where your load passes across all likely equipment variations. Not a guess. A calculated window.
Share with the Dock
One tap creates a link. Dock workers open it on their phone with row-by-row instructions, no app required.
Pattern Library
Save compliant patterns for recurring SKUs and reuse them in one click. Built for facilities with large, rotating SKU counts that maintain a standing set of load plans.
Equipment Profiles
Save your tractor and trailer specs. Predictions tighten from industry averages to your actual fleet.
Scale Verification
Log actual CAT Scale weights back to the pattern. The model calibrates over time, so estimates improve with every load.
Under The Hood

Not a rule of thumb.
Actual load physics.

Most "axle calculators" are a spreadsheet with a weight limit. LoadPattern models how a real trailer actually carries a load, calibrated against real CAT Scale readings.

Weight distribution by position
Computes how each pallet's position loads the steer, drive, and trailer axles, not just a gross total.
Tandem slide modeling
Solves for the exact tandem position that keeps both axle groups legal, and reports the full passing window.
Equipment-aware estimates
Save your tractor and trailer specs and estimates tighten from industry averages toward your actual fleet.
Calibrated, then self-correcting
Built on real CAT Scale data. Log your own readings and it calibrates to your operation over time.

These are estimates to plan against, not certified weights. Always verify at a certified scale before dispatch. DOT compliance is the carrier's responsibility.

Why This Exists

I spent years watching warehouse supervisors build loads by feel, drivers slide tandems based on habit, and operations teams eat $10,000+ scale violations that a proper load plan would have prevented. The tools that existed were either spreadsheets or enterprise software nobody could afford. LoadPattern is the tool I wished existed.
