What should be in a load plan workbook?
A load plan workbook should document the scenario, load assignments, warnings, freight data, and quote-support context.
Short practical answer
A useful load plan workbook records how the plan was built, which freight is assigned to each load, and which advisory warnings remain.
Practical workflow steps
- Include summary information for the selected scenario.
- List each load and the freight assigned to it.
- Preserve trailer, route, permit, escort, and OD/OW warnings.
- Separate customer-safe output from internal-only diagnostics.
How teams usually do this manually
Spreadsheets become brittle when they do not trace back to the live freight set or selected scenario.
How ODCubed helps
ODCubed exports planning workbooks directly from the active scenario and includes advisory warnings.
What ODCubed does not replace
