Systems and methods for optimizing the loading or unloading of cargo in a cargo area is provided. Friction-reducing elements, such as rails, may be disposed atop a surface of the cargo area. The friction-reducing elements vibrate pursuant to the application of vibrational energy generated by one or more vibration actuators operatively connected, directly or indirectly, to the friction-reducing elements. The application of vibrational energy reduces the time that cargo contacts the friction-reducing elements, which in turn, reduces the amount of friction applied to the cargo, easing the burden of loading/unloading the cargo.
