What is LIFO loading and why does it matter?

LIFO (Last In, First Out) means cargo for the last destination is loaded first — positioned deep in the container. This ensures each stop's cargo is at the door when needed, eliminating costly re-sorting at destination ports.

Can the loading instructions be printed?

Yes. The step-by-step loading instructions are designed for printing. You can export them as a PDF or share a link. The print layout is clean and optimized for A4 and Letter paper sizes.

How are items ordered within the same destination?

Within each destination stop, heavy items are always loaded before light ones, and fragile items are placed last. This ensures structural integrity and prevents damage to delicate cargo during transit.
