If you need route optimization software that accounts for vehicle height, gross weight, bridge clearances, and weight-restricted roads, I’d focus on commercial truck-routing systems rather than standard GPS or general-purpose delivery planners.
There are two important capabilities to look for:
- Truck-legal routing: avoids roads and bridges your vehicle cannot legally or safely use.
- Route optimization: finds efficient routes across multiple stops while respecting your vehicle’s dimensions and restrictions.
For U.S. trucking, these are the first three options I would evaluate.
