Heavy haul trucking operations depend on route quality. A missed bridge clearance, an unverified grade constraint, or a permit filed without field verification can turn a profitable move into a costly incident. RoadScope gives heavy haul carriers, dispatchers, and route planners the intelligence infrastructure they need to move with confidence.
The platform supports every stage of the heavy haul routing workflow: initial route planning, field survey, grade analysis, permit compliance verification, deliverable production, and project archiving. Each stage produces structured, traceable data stored in a single project record that travels with the job.
For carriers managing multiple routes simultaneously, RoadScope's project-based structure keeps routes organized by job, client, and jurisdiction. Teams can collaborate in real time, ensuring that field observations reach planners and permit specialists without the delays and distortions of informal communication.
Grade analysis is critical for heavy haul trucking, particularly for loads approaching the federal 80,000 lb gross vehicle weight limit or significantly exceeding it on permitted routes. RoadScope generates GPS-based elevation profiles that surface maximum sustained grades, critical transitions at crests and sags, and compound curve locations where horizontal curvature coincides with grade changes.
Bridge clearance and weight limit documentation is a cornerstone of safe heavy haul operations. RoadScope captures clearances as structured POIs with GPS coordinates, measured heights, posted limits, bridge authority information, and photo documentation. This creates a clearance inventory that supports both permit applications and driver briefings.
Permit documentation for heavy haul trucking moves across state and provincial lines requires organized route data presented in the formats each authority requires. RoadScope generates turn-by-turn route directions, jurisdiction-segmented route lists, and map deliverables that meet DOT submission standards.
For dispatch and fleet management teams, RoadScope's reporting system produces driver briefing packages, route summaries, and constraint maps that field crews can actually use. Professional deliverables reduce miscommunication between planners, drivers, and escort teams.

Route planning identifies a candidate path from origin to destination. Route survey physically verifies that path against real-world conditions: actual clearances at bridges and utilities, road surface conditions, intersection geometry, and field-observed constraints that don't appear in published databases. Route intelligence combines both into a defensible decision.
RoadScope generates permit-ready documentation including route descriptions, turn-by-turn direction lists organized by jurisdiction, constraint summaries, clearance measurements, and professional maps. These outputs match the formats required by DOT permit authorities for single-trip, annual, and superload permits.
Yes. The project-based structure allows multiple routes to be managed simultaneously, each with its own survey data, permit documentation, and team access. Enterprise plans support unlimited active projects with team collaboration and centralized reporting.
RoadScope exports data in KML, GeoJSON, GeoPDF, and PDF formats that are compatible with most fleet management and dispatch workflows. API access is available on Enterprise plans for direct system integration. KML/KMZ exports are importable directly into most GPS navigation and fleet systems.
Grade analysis surfaces sustained grades, grade transitions, and compound curve locations along a route. For heavy haul, this informs decisions about trailer specification, escort requirements, braking zone identification, and permit conditions. Grades that seem acceptable for standard freight can be critical constraints for a 300,000 lb permitted move, and knowing this before the truck rolls prevents costly surprises.
