Truck Packer

You can now drag a Flex pull sheet, or pretty much any rental export, straight onto a pack in Truck Packer. It maps your columns, reads a combined L x W x H cell however your shop types it, and rolls indented contents into the case they ride in. We tried it on a messy 27 case, 8,785 lb sound, lights and backline sheet and it AutoPacked into a 26' box truck using 244 of 312 inches of floor. Live now on Business.

Luke is at Good For Show. This was Max McNown on the Summer Vacation Tour, and he told me it saved them on the last headline run.

Every audio engineer at someone else's show. I hate to admit it, but I've definitely been that guy.

Otto runs Alley Cat Rentals in Hamburg. He wired our API to Base44 and ChatGPT himself to work out package volume. Nobody asked me to build that and it is my favourite thing anyone has done with it.

I got expelled the last seven days of high school for printing on every printer in the building. Nobody watches these, so there's my secret.

Truck Packer has a loading dock now, top left. Select anything in the pack from there instead of digging for cases buried under other cases.

Need a count? Hold Shift, click every CS1, and the case inspector tells you how many you have selected. Drag select works too. That group was 36.

Slipknot's 2027 stadium tour goes Wembley, then DC 13 days later, then South America. One set of gear can't make that routing by sea, so here's how a two-set plan works, and why a 53' trailer pack doesn't carry over to a 40' high cube.

Slipknot's 2027 stadium run goes London, North America, South America. One set can't make that by sea. Here's the two-set math, and what changes when the pack goes from a 53' trailer to a 40' high cube.

Alex tour manages. He took it out for one run and that was the verdict. I will take it.

New in Truck Packer: drag a Flex pull sheet (or pretty much any rental export) onto a pack. It reads the L x W x H column however your shop types it, flags anything it can't read instead of guessing, and rolls contents rows into the case they ride in.

Drag a Flex (or any rental system) pull sheet onto a pack and Truck Packer maps the columns, parses combined L x W x H dimensions, rolls up contents rows and packs the truck. Live now on Business.

This is what a Flex pull sheet looks like. The dimensions are in there if you look hard enough.

I don't want to type those in one by one, and you shouldn't have to. Drag the pull sheet into Truck Packer and it maps every field for you. Hit import, run AutoPack, and see if it fits.

That manifest fit in a 52 without a doubt. If you are still planning truck packs in Vectorworks or AutoCAD, give this a shot.

Forgot to dummy check FOH? A DiGiCo Quantum638 fits in a tour bus bay, one of them, tipped on its back. The 53' trailer it missed holds 33 on the floor at 15,147 lb. We packed every flagship desk to find out.

DiGiCo's new Quantum638 fits 33 to a 53-foot trailer, floor only. Here's the same math for the Quantum852, SD7, 338, 225, SD12, Avid S6L and Yamaha PM10, with crew views, plus what goes under a tour bus once you tip them down.
