The Critical Importance of Route Planning

Long-haul commercial trucking is a much more complicated undertaking than most laypeople would assume. Though there are substantial similarities between the operation of a passenger car and an 18-wheeler, the degree of skill required to safely drive and handle a commercial truck is much greater.

Moreover, the typical length of a trucker’s drive is significantly longer than the average person’s, so managing sleep becomes an important concern. But one of the most critical components of owner-operator success is the planning of routes before he or she takes to the road to deliver cargo or to pick up new loads for hauling.

Our business is committed to helping owner-operators and small trucking fleets thrive in spite of stubborn or deceptive clients.

The Consequences of Route Planning Mistakes

Though coming across road construction, new roads, or nonexistent thoroughfares is a possible interruption to any driver’s commute, it is not typically more than a temporary frustration for most. But for a trucker trying to meet a deadline and make a delivery, it can result in lost business or worse. Some of the complications of poor route planning may be:

• Overhead collisions with too-short tunnels or overpasses
• Inability to cross on a narrow or load-restricted bridge
• Detours can put you minutes or even hours behind schedule
• Missed deadlines with time-sensitive cargo can cost you business and replacement costs
