RoadScope vs ProMiles
ProMiles is a truck routing, fuel-tax (IFTA), and permit-data company whose software powers many state OS/OW permitting systems. RoadScope is a route intelligence platform for surveying, documenting, and delivering the route itself — with collaboration and a client-ready dossier.
Visit ProMilesSummary
ProMiles is strongest where routing meets regulatory data: fuel tax, permit mileage, and the routing engines behind several state permit portals. RoadScope is strongest after the permit route is drawn: verifying it in the field, attaching evidence, collaborating with clients, and keeping a defensible history.

The Verdict
ProMiles and RoadScope rarely compete head-to-head. Use ProMiles for fuel tax and for permit-mileage routing where states rely on its data. Use RoadScope to survey the actual corridor, attach evidence, collaborate with your client, and produce the professional dossier that accompanies the permit. A permit service or carrier that files in many states will likely keep ProMiles; a company that must prove the route works on the ground needs RoadScope alongside it.
