Length, width, and height limits for trucks and trailers vary dramatically across the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and China. Here is the complete country-by-country guide for tour managers, production teams, and freight planners moving gear internationally in 2026.
Building an ATA Carnet General List from five vendors' pull sheets is the silent budget-eater of international touring. Here's a free Truck Packer tool that combines PDF, XLSX, and CSV manifests into one Boomerang-ready General List in under two minutes.
Master Tour is where your tour lives day-to-day — but the load plan never makes it onto the day sheet. Here's how to wire Truck Packer pack views into specific Master Tour dates so the right crew sees the right truck diagram on the right day.
Backline Logic is building Cargo Measure, a LIDAR-powered measurement app that scans road cases with an iPhone Pro and feeds the dimensions straight into Truck Packer. Here's why we're building it and what it changes for touring crews.
Arena dock windows are shrinking, the entertainment driver pool is thinner than it has been in years, and the only thing standing between you and a chaotic 6 a.m. load-in is a pack plan that lives somewhere other than the loadmaster's head.
