Route for high loads above 4 metres

How to plan a high load

Choose abnormal load under Dimensions and weight and enter the height together with the other dimensions. Truckroute then only uses roads where the RDW itself can grant an exemption for that height. A transport of 4.4 m high, 3.5 m wide, 25 m long and 60 tonnes from the Prins Clausplein to Oudenrijn then runs via the A4, the A10 and the A2 (90.8 km, calculated on 15-10-2026). Above 5.50 m Truckroute does not plan: a separate assessment is always needed then.

Navigate with only your permit number

Truckroute is the only navigation app that lets you navigate with just the RDW exemption number from the Digital Exemptions Road Map (DWO). Choose abnormal load, enter the number and Truckroute fetches the permitted route from the RDW itself.

The route follows your exemption 100%: exactly the road sections the RDW permitted, in that order. The navigation never deviates from it, not even for a traffic jam or a closure; you only see those as a warning. If you do leave the route, Truckroute guides you back to the point where you left it.

Truckroute knows every bridge, viaduct, tunnel and level crossing in the Netherlands, more than 15,000 structures. Every structure you pass is shown in the route, with the RDW assessment and the clearance height and weight from the road authority. The exemption itself remains binding.

Without an exemption too: enter the right height

If you drive an ordinary truck that is higher than average, enter the real height. Truckroute then avoids every sign and road section with a lower clearance, and explains with the route why it takes a detour.
