Enter the quantity of material, its density and the truck data: PRAXAO tells you how many trips the delivery needs (whichever of the payload or the body fills first), how long a round trip takes, how many days of haulage that makes and, if you enter the carrier’s price per trip, what it costs.

Weight: 96.00 t. By payload: 10 trips; by body volume: 8 trips; the payload fills first, so 10 trips. One round trip takes 65 minutes (30 km/h, 15 min loading, 10 min unloading): 7 round trips a day for one truck, i.e. 2 days. At a quoted 400 per trip: 4,000.00.
A truck is full either when it reaches its payload or when its body is full, whichever comes first. Light materials fill the body first, dense ones reach the payload first. The tool keeps the larger number of trips.
From your supplier’s data sheet for the density and from the carrier’s vehicle documents for the legal payload. The values shown are only starting points, not references.
No price is built in. Enter the carrier’s own quote per trip to get a cost. Waiting at the site, queues, weighbridges and road restrictions are not modelled.
Length, width and depth, working space, swell and truck capacity: the method to estimate earthwork volumes and loads, with a worked example.
Volume of an excavation, swollen volume to haul, truck loads and weight of soil from the dimensions.
Volume of concrete for slabs, footings and columns, with waste margin and cement, sand and gravel quantities.
