CAPABILITIES

What the Truck Routing API delivers

Truck-compliant route calculation

Calculate routes that respect commercial vehicle restrictions — bridge heights, weight limits, tunnel categories, and hazmat transport rules. Returns paths that avoid roads legally inaccessible to trucks.

Road restriction awareness

Automatically accounts for local, state, and federal road restrictions for commercial vehicles. Includes axle load limits, width restrictions, and time-based access rules for urban zones.

Toll cost estimation

Calculate expected toll costs for the planned route based on vehicle class, axle count, and toll infrastructure. Helps dispatchers estimate total trip cost before departure.

Real-time traffic-aware ETAs

Routes factor in current traffic conditions to produce accurate ETAs for commercial vehicles — not just passenger car estimates. Updates dynamically as traffic changes.

Multi-stop truck routing

Optimize sequences of stops for a single truck — with time window constraints, loading/unloading time, and driver hour regulations (HOS compliance).

REST API · JSON responses

Single endpoint, straightforward JSON response format. No proprietary SDK required. Response includes geometry, maneuvers, restrictions encountered, distance, duration, and toll data.
