Both planning (in Route Planner) and navigation (in Routes Mobile) use a truck-legal road network that accounts for vehicle height, weight, length, axle limits, hazmat restrictions, turn bans, time-of-day rules, and low-clearance bridges.
Planning (dispatcher view)
Commercial-aware sequencing & ETAs: When you build or reorder routes, stop sequences and times are computed on commercial roads, not car routes.
Vehicle profiles: Each vehicle’s dimensions/weight inform the plan; swapping to a different truck recalculates times and paths.
Accurate feasibility: Avoids restricted parkways, weight-posted roads, and low bridges while planning—so “looks good in the office” matches “works in the field.”
Live adjustments: If you move stops mid-day, Route Planner re-plans on the commercial network and pushes updated ETAs to the driver.
Navigation (driver view)
Turn-by-turn, truck-legal: Drivers follow in-app directions built on the same commercial network used to plan.
Auto-updates: If dispatch reorders stops, the app refreshes and re-routes on commercial roads automatically.
Last-mile aware: Allows legal residential access for deliveries while still respecting truck restrictions.
Why this matters
Consistency: The road used to plan is the road used to drive—fewer surprises.
Safety & compliance: Avoids low clearances and restricted roads.
Reliable ETAs: Truck-realistic speeds and paths reduce misses and callbacks.
Tips
Keep vehicle dimensions/weight accurate for best results.
If a delivery requires special access (e.g., gate codes, alley drops), add notes so drivers can safely complete the legal last-50-feet.
