Oversized load transportation fails when desk planning replaces field intelligence. Bridges that look passable on Google Maps have posted limits that don't match published data. Intersections that appear navigable on satellite imagery require four-corner sweeps to clear safely. Grades that seem manageable in the office become critical risks at 300,000 lbs.
RoadScope is the route intelligence platform built for the realities of OS/OW transport: the field verification that reveals what maps don't show, the structured documentation that survives regulatory scrutiny, and the defensible decision record that protects carriers, consultants, and operators when something goes wrong.
The platform supports the complete route intelligence workflow — from initial corridor selection through field survey, grade analysis, permit compliance, and final deliverable production. Every step produces structured, traceable data. Nothing ends up in a notebook, a spreadsheet, or a folder of unlabeled photos.
For clearance analysis, RoadScope captures vertical and horizontal measurements at bridges, overpasses, and utility crossings as structured points of interest linked to GPS coordinates, timestamps, and calibrated measurements. The result is a clearance inventory that can be queried, mapped, and included in permit documentation without transcription errors.
Grade analysis is integrated directly into the route workflow. GPS-based elevation profiles along the route surface sustained grade sections, critical transitions, crest and sag points, and compound curve locations. For heavy loads, this data supports trailer selection, escort decisions, and permit conditions.
Multi-jurisdiction permit management is one of the most time-consuming aspects of oversized load operations. Different states and provinces have different dimensional thresholds, different permit application formats, and different lead times. RoadScope organizes route segments by jurisdiction, documents regulatory requirements, and generates the direction data and route packages that permit authorities need.
RoadScope replaces the fragmented workflows — surveys in notebooks, measurements on phones, maps in email, permits in filing cabinets — with a single project record that stores all route intelligence in one accessible, defensible system.

Route intelligence is the structured understanding of whether a specific oversized load can travel a specific route safely, legally, and with documentation that withstands scrutiny. It goes beyond route planning by integrating field verification, constraint analysis, permit compliance, and defensible documentation into a single decision system.
RoadScope's POI system allows you to record each bridge as a structured data point with GPS coordinates, measured vertical clearance, posted weight limit, bridge authority, photo documentation, and survey date. These records can be exported directly into permit documentation formats. The system ensures measurements are linked to specific locations and surveyors, creating an auditable clearance record.
RoadScope is purpose-built for heavy haul route surveys, providing tools that generic mapping apps like Google Maps or consumer GPS systems don't offer: structured POI capture with OS/OW-specific categories, GPS-tagged photo documentation, elevation profiling, grade analysis, permit-ready report generation, and multi-jurisdiction compliance support.
RoadScope supports multi-jurisdiction route management by organizing route segments, documenting applicable regulations per jurisdiction, and generating permit route lists in the formats required by each authority. The platform covers all US states and Canadian provinces with permit requirement data and updates regularly to reflect regulatory changes.
Yes. The platform is designed to convert field survey data directly into permit-ready deliverables. Field surveys captured via the mobile app feed into the same route record that generates PDF reports, turn-by-turn direction lists, KML/KMZ files, and map deliverables. No rekeying, no transcription — the field data becomes the permit documentation.
