Desperate shipping department needs software

:banghead
I am here in a desperate attempt to locate any software that you may be aware of. This may be hard to explain...the goal is to load a truck with numerous sizes of stock. They all have to fit evenly in width as well as length. Example:19 pc 5 1/8 x 12 x 60, 3 pc 3 1/8 x 24 x 20, 3 pc 5 1/8 x 24 x 46, 2 pc 5 1/8 x 13 1/2 x 20, 2 pc 8 3/7 x 36 x 42, 1 pc 5 1/8 x 16 1/2 x 14, 1pc 5 1/8 x 16 1/2 x 18. These are only a few of the 92 sizes to be fit together like a puzzle that has to go on the truck. Is there a software program out there that any of you know about that would make it possible to enter the sizes into the computer and the program lays out the load for the shipping dept.? Please advise. Thanks Joy

 

There is a lot out there, don't know companies though. You could also call the largest freight carrier you have a relationship with that handles containers, they could point you on the right direction. Or wait a bit a member or visitor might know of a good one.

Some say "free trial" but don't know if a real working copy, you will have to check them out.

 

Following Cat, I was going to say call UPS (or whoever you use). If you are going to be a regular customer they will come in and set you up with everything you need. Saves them a lot of time when the customer can have everything printed out and ready to go. And it will save you a lot of $$ on software.
