Truck-legal routing for small fleets
Routes that a truck can actually drive, with the fuel and parking already planned.
TruckPlot plans routes for fleets of 5 to 200 trucks and owner-operators that respect height, weight and hazardous materials limits, with fuel stops chosen on network pricing and parking planned in.
No account. No card. No sales call.
The problem
Consumer navigation routes trucks under low bridges and onto restricted roads, which causes strikes, fines and detours that cost hours.
Fuel is bought wherever the driver stops rather than where the network price is best, and parking is not planned at all, so drivers hunt at the end of their hours. Enterprise routing systems solve this, at prices set for much larger fleets.
Who it is for
Small and mid-size fleets
Fleets of 5 to 200 trucks, where a dispatcher or the owner plans the loads.
Owner-operators
Owner-operators planning their own routes, fuel and parking.

Method: out-of-route miles = trucks x trips x out-of-route miles per trip, costed as fuel for those miles plus driver time at your average speed. Fuel premium = every gallon bought x what you pay above your best network price. Tolls, wear and parking are left out. The plan cost uses 29 dollars per truck a month, or 19 above 50 trucks.

Routes a truck can actually drive
Truck-legal routing with fuel, parking and hours of service planned into the same route.
- Truck-legal routing
- Routes respect height, weight, length, axle and hazardous materials restrictions from current road data.
- Bridge and seasonal restrictions
- Real bridge and seasonal restrictions are factored into routing.
- Fuel optimised to your network
- Fuel stops are optimised against the fleet's actual network pricing and tax considerations, not pump price.
- Parking planned into the route
- Parking is planned at the point where hours will run out, with availability predicted.
- Arrival times that count hours
- Estimated arrival accounts for hours of service, so the plan is legal rather than theoretically fast.
- Dispatch integration and API
- Dispatch integration and API access come with pricing above 50 trucks.
Questions people actually ask
How is this different from consumer navigation?
Routing respects height, weight, length, axle and hazardous materials restrictions from current road data, and factors in real bridge and seasonal restrictions.
How are fuel stops chosen?
Against the fleet's actual network pricing and tax considerations, rather than the pump price.
Does it plan parking?
Yes. Parking is planned into the route at the point where hours will run out, with availability predicted.
What is the free Route Cost Analysis?
It takes ten recent completed trips and shows what each route actually cost in fuel, hours and out-of-route miles against an optimised alternative, with the difference in dollars.
Are arrival times realistic?
Estimated arrival accounts for hours of service, so the plan is legal rather than theoretically fast.
Does it work for owner-operators?
Yes. It is for owner-operators as well as fleets of 5 to 200 trucks.
What does it cost?
29 dollars per truck per month, with fuel optimisation and parking planning included. Above 50 trucks it is 19 dollars per truck per month, with dispatch integration and API.
Why should I trust the route cost calculator?
It is arithmetic on your own estimates, worked out in your browser. It does not see your trips. The free Route Cost Analysis works from ten recent completed trips and compares each with an optimised alternative.
