Route planning
Route planning lives at Fleet → Routes (/fleet/routes). It serves two jobs: saving common lanes as templates so they’re a click away when posting a load, and getting suggested routings when you have a specific origin–destination pair.
Saved routes
A saved route stores:
- Origin and destination (addresses or named locations like your own warehouses).
- Preferred vehicle type.
- Typical cargo profile.
- Standard pricing or rate range.
- Average expected duration.
To create one: Fleet → Routes → New route. To use one when posting a load, pick it from the Use saved route dropdown — pickup, drop-off, and pricing pre-fill.
Route suggestions
For a one-off origin–destination pair you don’t have saved, click Plan route in the load editor:
- Suggested driving route(s) with distance and ETA.
- Estimated cost using your historical rate data for similar lanes.
- Warning flags for known issues — border crossings, weight restrictions, etc.
Optimisation insights
Insight cards on the routes page surface things like:
- Most-expensive lanes — where you’re paying above network average.
- Most-used lanes — your highest-volume routes, candidates for contract pricing.
- Underutilised vehicles — your trucks doing more empty kilometres than peers.
Use these as starting points for negotiation, network expansion, or backload programmes.
