On a 7.5 tonner with a 32m cubic body, how many boxes at 13.9cm x 9cm x 9cm could you fit into it?
Missus is doing an online quiz with that question. I told her that it’s no good asking me, as I’m a proper trucker on artics. 
Ken.
Rough guess…probs wrong Quinny but would be…284?
Are you sure you have the numbers right?
It is nonsense anyway unless you know the actual dimensions of the body.
If you divide 32cubic metres (32,000,000 cubic centimetres) by 1125.9 cubic centimetres (13.9x9x9) you get 28,421

That is the right answer, in fact it’s the only answer. 
Its the wrong sized box to divide exactly into that size container anyways. The contents would have to be liquid being poured into a naked (no chambers) tanker of that capacity for it to go exactly.
13.9x9x9=1125.9 cubic centimeters
200cm x 200xm x 800cm= 32,000,000 cubic centimeters, or 32 cubic metres.
32,000,000 divided by 1125.9 therefore is 28421 boxes with a bit left over, and you can slice some boxes in the same fashion as carpet tiles to get them to fit around the edges! 
a lot
hope this helps 
Until its full
How heavy are they - you might hit the weight limit for a 7.5 tonner before you hit the size! 
Just thinking laterally…

The load would cube out first.

The same.
Depends how big the pallets are, I do not handball 28,000 boxes!! 
We arrived at 29463.
But yes, it depends on the size of the body.
Oh, and by the way, the cargo was standard sized easter eggs in individual boxes.
Ken.
Make sure the handbrake is FIRMLY applied , then get our local fork lift driver to load it… i bet he gets twice as many in.
Much less than what the office reckons. Hope this helps.
You need to ask an Italian groupage loader they’ll get double that in there. 
Where did 32,000,000 cubic centimetres come from?
A centimetre is one hundredth of a metre.
Doesn’t that make a cubic centimetre one hundreth the size of a cubic metre?
That should be 3,200 cubic centimetres surely. Or am I missing something?

A metre is 100 times a centimetre. Therefore, a square metre is 100 squared ( ie. 10,000 ) times a square centimetre and a cubic metre is 100 cubed ( ie. 1,000,000 ) times a cubic centimetre.

Ok, thanks, i get it now.
