Abnormal loads
Navigation for abnormal loads
Truckroute navigates your abnormal load exactly along the route from your exemption or permit, and tells you on the way what to do. In the Netherlands every structure with the RDW passage condition, in Germany every Auflage from your permit, with the drawing of the safety measures and the lane. On a tablet in the cab, on your phone and in Apple CarPlay.
Netherlands: every structure on time, with the condition
Enter your RDW exemption number and Truckroute fetches the permitted route. On the way, the app announces every structure for which the exemption sets a passage condition: at 2 km with the condition, again at 500 m and "Now" at the structure itself. You see the name, the hectometre and the text from the exemption, and the app speaks it. If one structure lies just behind another, you get them together, so no announcement comes too late.


Germany: every Auflage from your permit
Read in the PDF of your VEMAGS permit and choose the route part (Fahrtwegteil). Truckroute reads the conditions (Auflagen) per stretch of the route and announces them on the way in German, as they are in the permit: height, bridge, load limit, roadworks. With every Auflage you see which lane to use, whether there is a WVZ installation, whether the Auflage only applies at night, and which plan the safety measures follow.




Run through the trip in advance
With a German permit you can run through the whole trip in advance, as a simulation on the map, with every Auflage and instruction in its place. Next warning jumps from Auflage to Auflage. So before you leave, you know where it gets narrow or low and which escort is needed where.
Always on the permitted route
The navigation never deviates from your exemption or permit, not even for a traffic jam or closure: you get those as a warning. If you do leave the route, the app guides you back to the point where you left it. A cross-border trip, for example the Netherlands and Germany, becomes one continuous route. Everything about fetching and reading in permits is on abnormal loads.
The permit remains binding
Truckroute does not apply for an exemption or permit and does not replace the escort. In case of a difference, the permit itself always prevails, with its conditions and the instructions of the escort, the police and the road authority.
Frequently asked questions
Does the navigation work with a German VEMAGS permit?
Yes. You read in the PDF of the permit, choose the route part and Truckroute navigates along that route and announces every Auflage on the way.
Does the app announce the structures of a Dutch exemption?
Yes. Every structure with a passage condition gets an announcement at 2 km, at 500 m and at the structure itself, with the hectometre and the text from the exemption.
Can I look at the trip in advance?
Yes. With a German permit you run through the whole trip in advance as a simulation on the map, with every Auflage in its place.
Does it work on a tablet?
Yes. On a tablet the navigation is in landscape, with the announcement and the map side by side. Also on a phone and in Apple CarPlay.
