In a 53-foot trailer, you can fit 26 standard 48 x 40 pallets if they are loaded straight (lengthwise) because each pallet takes up 4 feet of length, and the trailer is 53 feet long. When loaded sideways, you can fit 12 pallets across the width (assuming a standard width of 8.5 feet for the trailer), but you would only have about 23 feet of length left, allowing for 5 more pallets along the length, totaling 17 pallets. Thus, you can fit either 26 pallets straight or 17 pallets sideways in a 53-foot trailer.
