here is a video of a guy loading tees and briefly discussing placement:

unfortunately there's no "to the sixteenth inch" rule on loading garments. you can use the arm seams to judge side to side and then the collar for top to bottom. a lot of people make a mark on their masked platen to remind them where to bring the collar for specific runs after they have decided on initial placement.
pre-press work is also playing a key role here. make sure the image you are burning is on the right spot on the screen. this will alleviate headache after headache, particularly with multi-color jobs. i use a measuring tape, some people prefer to build a jig...
which is something you can also do on-press for specific applications like printing a small bag or a raised jig for a zip up hood, etc, etc...
