    Single 12/13 and doulbe 24/26 depending on the weight of the pallets,trailer, and truck. Sorry this is the best answer anyone can give without knowing the specifics.

    Sideways and doubled all the way you can get 30 pallets in a 53. Straight, I'm guessing 26/28

    I do believe that sazook has it right, and if stacked double it. This provided that these are regular pallets and not oversized.

    if there is even a smidge of overhang its tough to close the doors with 26 but they will fit staight in.

    In a 53x102 you can get 30 pallets loaded side by side, and 60 doubled stacked. With a 53x96, you can get 26 side by side due to losing 6 inches of space and 52 double stacked. You have to remember a pallet is 48" wide by 40" long
