Asphalt Truck Loading Rate at 61% loadout efficiency: a worked example
This worked example runs the asphalt truck loading rate numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 61% loadout efficiency instead of the typical 85%. Calculate effective asphalt loadout tons per hour from loaded truck tonnage, loadout time, and loading efficiency.
The inputs for this scenario
- Asphalt loaded into trucks: 900 tons (held at the documented default)
- Truck loadout window: 6 hr (held at the documented default)
- Loadout efficiency: 61 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 85)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Observed truck loading rate = asphalt tons loaded into trucks รท truck loadout window.
- Rate works out to 15,000 tons / hr loaded at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Gap to target works out to -14,939 points at these inputs.
- Affected count works out to 900 count at these inputs.
- Total count works out to 6 count at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where loadout efficiency sits at 85% and the headline result is 15,000 tons / hr loaded, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 15,000 tons / hr loaded.
- Use it when sizing truck fleets, matching plant output to paver demand, or diagnosing why a paving crew keeps waiting on mix. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
Results at a glance
- Rate: 15,000 tons / hr loaded (headline result)
- Gap to target: -14,939 points
- Affected count: 900 count
- Total count: 6 count
