Where to start
Four doors, one promise: the rule, cited
Calculate
Chargeable weight, CMR deadlines, driving hours, Incoterms, load planning. In your browser, with the convention made explicit and the article next to it.
Open the tools →
Practise
Ten questions from the corpus, one at a time, with the rule after every answer. For the driver CPC, the transport-manager exam, ADR or air and sea.

Reference calculators
Each one says which rule it applies and for which country. The maths is auditable, nothing is stored, and the result is shareable by URL.
Load planner
Enter your boxes or pallets and get a deterministic load plan: piece-by-piece placement, volume and weight utilization, centre of gravity per the CTU Code, VGM (SOLAS) and an orientative country weight-limit check. Everything is computed in your browser.
- Pieces placed
- 32
- Volume used
- 41 %
- Weight used
- 33 %
- VGM
- 13,380 kg
Chargeable weight calculator
Compare gross and volumetric weight under each mode’s convention — selectable and editable — and get an auditable chargeable weight: air, express, sea LCL (with W/M minimum) and road by density and by loading metres (LDM).
Gross weight: 150 kg · 5.76 m³
Driving & rest hours
Enter the driving done so far and see how much time remains within every Regulation (EC) 561/2006 limit — mandatory break, daily, weekly and fortnightly caps — plus the daily rest due.
A 9-hour day, in twelve seconds
CMR deadlines calculator
Calculate the reservation and limitation deadlines of a road transport claim under the CMR Convention (arts. 30 and 32): from the delivery date, with configurable non-working days, auditable math and calendar export of every deadline.
Last day for a written reservation:
Sundays and public holidays excluded · Saturdays count
Delay, 21 days → — · Limitation, 1 year → — · Spanish public holidays
Incoterms® 2020 — costs & risks
Pick a rule and see who bears each cost — from packaging to final unloading — and where risk passes from seller to buyer. The four maritime rules (FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF) are flagged.
Risk passes to the buyer at the seller’s premises
Who pays each stage: ■ Seller 1/10 · ■ Buyer 9/10
HS and CN codes
Type a code prefix or a few words and find the Harmonized System heading and the 8-digit code of the EU Combined Nomenclature 2026, with the conventional duty rate and the supplementary unit. Official data, in English and Spanish.

Auriga Intelligence · transport AI
A European AI that speaks the language of transport
Auriga Intelligence builds software to automate logistics processes and the first sovereign, 100% European AI specialised in transport: trained on sector data, hosted in Europe, with skills built for operations. I am an investor and its CTO. The assistant on this site is its first public door: try it here and meet the project at aurigasystem.com.
- Model hosted in the European Union, with no dependence on providers outside it
- Answers cite the instrument and the article, like the tools on this site
- Three questions a day, free, no sign-up
Why this site exists
I do not do this only to explain it
I do it to professionalise the sector, without charging for it, and to move it into software: so we stop working with systems that are no use to anyone. That is why the tools are open.
- 01
Explain
Every calculation, question and term says which rule it comes from. Whoever uses it learns the why, not just the result.
- 02
Professionalise
Reference tools, exam practice and a classroom, free, for people who work in transport or are preparing to. Altruistic and without sign-up: the sector wins if everyone wins.
- 03
Digitise
The same logic is an open API, no key, so any developer can build it into their software. Let the sector’s systems calculate properly, at last.
Field notes
All notes →How to plan a container load: cubing, CoG, VGM and weight limits
Dividing volumes is not cubing: planning a load takes real geometry, centre of gravity (CTU Code), SOLAS VGM and the legal road weight — which is not the container’s max gross.
02Driving and rest times: Regulation 561/2006 made clear
The EU driving and rest rules the tachograph enforces: 4.5 hours and a 45-minute break, 9 daily hours, 56 weekly, 90 per fortnight, and the 11-hour and 45-hour rests.
03Incoterms 2020: who pays what and where risk transfers
The 11 Incoterms 2020 rules explained for real operations: costs, risk, insurance and the mistakes that cost the most money (EXW on export, FOB with containers, DDP without thinking about VAT).
