Heavy Transport Intelligence — The Weekly — Issue #01

17,000 POIs. 4,700 km. 6.5 days. One crew.

May 7, 2026

The Thacker Pass dual-lane survey just wrapped. A single SolTec crew captured 530 bridges, 3,631 culverts, and 299 intersections across the full 4,700 km corridor — 720 km of survey-grade data per day, every day. Inside this issue: the Field Capture App that just shipped for pilot-car crews, ProfilingPRO graduating to beta after 2,500 km of field validation, where SweptPRO and LoadPRO are in the build — and how Convoy Guardian kept the whole convoy in sync without a single bar of cell signal.

RoadScope — Field Capture App is live at /fieldapp — built for the pilot car, not the desk

Pilot-car crews told us the same thing every survey: the regular mobile map is too dense to use while driving. The Field Capture App strips it back to one screen of huge, high-contrast buttons wired to a physical touch pole on the front bumper, so a single bump on a low wire or a tight curb is captured as a geo-tagged POI in under a second. Captures push back to the survey in real time, so the planner at the office sees the route fill in as the truck drives it.

MeasurePRO — 17,000 POIs. 6.5 days. One app.

The Thacker Pass survey proved it: 4,700+ km, 17,000+ data points, 530 bridges, 3,631 culverts, 299 intersections — captured by a single crew in 6.5 days. That's 720+ km per day. MeasurePRO doesn't slow you down. It keeps up.

LoadPRO — The axle-load calculator your whole team can actually use

LoadPRO is the next addition to the SolTec stack: an axle-load calculator built so any employee can run a configuration — from the office, from the field, even from the cab of the truck. Build your equipment library directly from CAD drawings, run a load distribution in seconds, and stop bottlenecking permits behind a single specialist.

SweptPRO — Run swept-path analysis from the cab — drone shot to turning radius in minutes

SweptPRO's early prototype was used in the field during the Thacker Pass survey. It's not done yet — there's real work left before public beta this fall — but the differentiator is already clear. SweptPRO runs on the rugged tablet that ships with the MeasurePRO kit, which means a tight intersection can be drone-shot, imported, and turning-radius checked on-site, without waiting for the office.

Quick Tip

Tag it in the field. Filter it in the office. Fix it before the load moves.

On the Thacker Pass survey, 17,000+ POIs were recorded in 6.5 days. Imagine sorting that manually. Instead: tag critical points as Danger or Work Required using MeasurePRO's badge system. When RoadScope syncs, your office filters by badge — Danger zones get eyes first, Work Required goes to maintenance, Information stays as context. Three taps per POI. Zero hours sorting.
