What Is Route Discovery?
Route Discovery is the process of identifying a legally permitted, restriction-aware route based on your load’s dimensions, before permit purchasing begins. This service includes:
- Manual testing of routes across state DOT systems using your dimensions
- Identification of restrictions, detours, or bridge warnings
- Screenshots or documentation of official state responses
- A custom Google Maps link showing the permitted route and any key stops or instructions
Use Case #1
Route Planning Before You Book
For dispatchers or fleet managers planning an oversize load in advance:
You’re not ready to buy permits yet, but you need to know:
“What’s the exact route I’ll get? Are there any restrictions? How many miles? Escorts? Curfews?”
We simulate the permit application process using your provided load dimensions. Once a route is successfully generated through state systems, we compile the results and send them to you with documentation and a Google Maps visualization.
This gives you a clear picture of what to expect—no surprises once the permits are issued.
Use Case #2
You Have the Permit, But Need the Route
In some cases, a driver or company already has a permit (purchased elsewhere), but needs help understanding the route.
We provide full *route interpretation* based on the actual permit, including:
- Reading and decoding the permit’s written route instructions
- Verifying the route against current restrictions
- Creating a driver-friendly Google Maps link for easy navigation
Even if the permit wasn’t purchased through us, we’re here to help you understand it and stay compliant.
