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.
