How to calculate truck capacity by volume
This calculator finds how many truck loads are needed by dividing total shipment volume by truck volume capacity, rounded up.
How the calculation works
Loads needed = ceil(Total shipment volume ÷ Truck volume capacity).
Example
3,200 cubic feet of shipment, trucks holding 1,200 cubic feet: ceil(3,200÷1,200) = 3 loads.

Pro Tips for Truck Capacity By Volume
- Confirm your specific truck's actual usable cargo volume, which can be less than its rated maximum due to load securing equipment or irregular cargo shapes.
- Check whether weight capacity is also a binding constraint, since dense cargo may hit the weight limit before filling the available volume.
Common Truck Capacity By Volume Mistakes to Avoid
- Checking only volume capacity without also verifying weight capacity, since dense cargo can exceed weight limits well before filling available volume.
