Summary

Transload is a Y Combinator-backed startup (P26) that helps less-than-truckload (LTL) trucking companies automatically measure freight dimensions using existing security cameras in their terminals. Instead of requiring dedicated dimensioning stations, the system measures shipments as they move through normal dock workflows. This solves pricing, freight classification, and trailer utilization challenges in LTL trucking by catching discrepancies between reported and actual shipment sizes.
