A pallet loading technique includes receiving pallet information for a shipment, the pallet information describing pallets to be included in the shipment, receiving vehicle constraint information for a vehicle, the vehicle constraint information describing rules for loading pallets on the vehicle, and determining candidate solutions for loading the pallets on the vehicle, each candidate solution (i) satisfying the rules for loading pallets on the vehicle, and (ii) defining, for each pallet to be included in the shipment, a respective position and orientation of the pallet on the vehicle. At least some of the candidate solutions are evaluated, one of the candidate solutions is selected, and the vehicle is loaded according to the selected candidate solution.
