Haul Infinity calculates the utilized tray payload.
Loading Calculation
Enter the truck filling type:
“FullBuckets” → less swings to fill the tray, some trucks light-loaded.
“FullTrucks” → more swings to fill the tray, last bucket light-loaded.
“Theoretical” → allow the digger to make "half a swing".

Enter the loader first pass delay (time to switch between trucks).
Haul Infinity calculates the corresponding load times.

Select the truck matching type:
“OverTruck” → no digger wait time, some truck queue time.
“UnderTruck” → no truck wait time, some loader hang time.
“Round” → some truck queue time, some loader hang time (round the truck numbers to the nearest whole number).
“Theoretical” → zero queue or hang time (uses the theoretical number of trucks without rounding, allowing the fleet to have “half a truck” (a decimal number of trucks).
“TheoreticalNoMinimum” → same as theoretical matching type, but not including minimum waiting time.
Tactical Scheduler users are recommended to use “Theoretical” matching for scheduling.
