Linear feet

Estimated

Linear feet depends on how freight is loaded. This is a floor-spot estimate, not a carrier measurement.

How it works

We estimate how many pieces sit across a typical 2.48 m trailer width, then multiply by length.

Formula

floor spots × length along the trailer

Worked example

10 cartons 80 cm along, 3 across → 4 floor spots × 0.80 m ≈ 10.5 linear feet.

Frequently asked questions

Will the carrier use this number?

Not necessarily. Linear feet is estimated. Actual billing depends on how freight is loaded and the tariff.
