Usage
- Enter the total number of pallets to be loaded.

$message = "The entered pallet count exceeds capacity.";
} elseif ($total_pallets <= $single_deck_capacity) {
// All pallets can be loaded single-deck
} else {
// Combination of double and single-deck is calculated
}
Purpose
Provides a practical solution for maximizing trailer capacity in logistics and transportation.
