All about Truckroute
Truckroute plans a truck route by number plate with all the restrictions that come with it. Here you can read per topic what the route planner does.
New
- New in Truckroute: New in Truckroute: loading and unloading times per municipality, temporary access bans, coach, motorhome and van, and the truck in 3D.
- Changes in Truckroute: Per day what changed and was added in Truckroute: the app, CarPlay, the route planner and the website, newest first.

- Which vehicles and which data: All vehicles Truckroute serves, from LHV, ADR and abnormal loads to coach and motorhome, and which data count per country.
Route and restrictions
- The route planner for trucks: Route planner for trucks by number plate, with height, weight, low-emission zones, closures and charges. Up to 23 stops and navigation in the Truckroute app.
- Route planner for the van: Route planner for vans by number plate, with zero-emission zones, low-emission zones, signs and closures. Up to 23 stops.
- Plan and calculate a truck route: Plan and calculate a truck route with up to 23 stops, the fastest or cheapest order, round trip, driving time and charges, and navigation in the Truckroute app.
- A truck route across Europe: Plan a truck route across the Benelux, Germany, France and Spain, with the tolls per country and the low-emission zones on the way.
- A truck route by number plate: Enter the number plate and Truckroute fetches weight, dimensions, Euro class and CO2 class from the RDW. The route then fits that exact vehicle.
- A route around low-emission and zero-emission zones: For each number plate the verdict for every low-emission and zero-emission zone, and a truck route that avoids the zones your vehicle may not enter.
- A route that fits height, weight and length: Truckroute avoids every sign and road section that is too tight for your truck, plus closures and roadworks, and explains with the route why it takes a detour.
Navigation and CarPlay
- Truck navigation by number plate: Navigate a route that fits your truck: height, weight, zones and closures, with overhead signs, lanes and overtaking bans live on the way.
- CarPlay for trucks: Truck navigation in CarPlay: the route by number plate on the screen in the cab, with overhead signs next to the map and house numbers nearby.
- Live traffic information per country: Traffic jams, roadworks and road closures right now for trucks in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain and Sweden, per road and with a map.
Charges and tolls
- The Dutch truck charge per trip, and when a detour pays off: Truckroute calculates the Dutch truck charge per trip with the rate of your number plate, and compares the motorway with a route with fewer charges.
- Tolls and distance-based charges per country: Besides the Dutch truck charge, Truckroute calculates the German Maut, the Belgian distance charge per region and the Luxembourg Eurovignette per trip.
LHV
- Route planner for LHVs (longer heavier vehicles): Choose LHV under dimensions and weight and Truckroute plans only over the roads of the RDW LHV network, with at least 25.25 m and 60,000 kg.
- The LHV exemption: what it allows: With an annual LHV exemption you drive a combination up to 25.25 m and 60,000 kg, only on the LHV network. What the RDW requires and how Truckroute plans.
- The LHV network: which roads an LHV may use: The LHV network is the sum of the roads that national, provincial and municipal authorities open for LHVs. Truckroute shows it and plans only on it.
Abnormal loads
- Abnormal loads: from exemption to navigation: Fetch your Dutch exemption by its number, read in your Belgian or German permit as a PDF and navigate exactly along the permitted route.
- Navigation for abnormal loads: Navigate abnormal loads along your permit: every structure with its passage condition, and the German Auflagen with plan and lane.
- Route for abnormal loads: Enter the dimensions of your transport and Truckroute plans over the roads where the RDW can grant an exemption for them: height, width, length and weight.
- Exemption for abnormal loads: annual or one-off: Annual exemption up to 27.50 m, 3.50 m, 4.25 m and 100,000 kg on the green roads, or a one-off exemption per route. How to choose, and how to plan the route.
- Legal dimensions and weights of a truck: Height 4.00 m, width 2.55 m, tractor and semi-trailer 16.50 m, 50,000 kg: the legal maximums in the Netherlands, and when you need an exemption.
- Route for high loads above 4 metres: Above 4.00 m high you need an exemption and overpasses, bridges and tunnels matter. Truckroute plans where the RDW can grant one for your height.
- Route for wide loads: Legally 2.55 m wide, up to 3.00 m due to an indivisible load, up to 3.50 m with an annual exemption. Truckroute plans over the roads where your width fits.
- Route for heavy loads above 50 tonnes: Above 50,000 kg you need an exemption and the vehicle must be able to carry the weight. Truckroute plans over the roads and bridges where your weight fits.
- Route for long loads: Tractor and semi-trailer 16.50 m, with an indivisible load 22.00 m, with an annual exemption up to 27.50 m. Truckroute plans where your length fits.
- Plan a route over the RDW exemption roads (DWO): See which roads in the RDW DWO are green for your dimensions, and let Truckroute plan a door-to-door route over them straight away.
Dangerous goods and tunnels
- Route with an ADR tunnel code: Choose the tunnel code of your load and Truckroute avoids every tunnel prohibited for that code, in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.
- The ADR tunnel code: B, C, D and E explained: Which tunnel may you pass with which load? Tunnel category A to E, the tunnel restriction code of your load, and how Truckroute plans with it.
- ADR tunnel categories of the tunnels in the Netherlands: All Dutch tunnels with their ADR category, from the Coentunnel and the Drechttunnel (C) to the Maastunnel (D) and the Arenatunnel (E).
Coach and bus
- Coach navigation: sign C7 does not count: Navigate your coach over a route that fits the bus: height, width, length and weight count, and sign C7 for trucks does not.
- Route planner for coaches and buses: Enter the number plate of your coach: Truckroute plans with the height, length and weight of the bus and only avoids the signs that apply to a bus.
- Low-emission zones, charges and tolls for coaches: Which zones apply to a coach, and which charges does a bus pay? Low-emission zones for buses, zero-emission zones from 2029 and the Maut.
- Signs C7a and C7b: closed to buses: C7 applies to trucks, C7a to buses and C7b to both. What the signs mean for a coach and how Truckroute plans with them.
Cranes
- Route for a mobile crane: For the RDW a mobile crane is a self-propelled machine: annual exemption up to 100,000 kg, only on green roads. How to plan the route with Truckroute.
- Telescopic crane and ballast: route and exemption: A telescopic crane drives as a mobile crane; ballast and crane parts go behind the crane or on a semi-trailer up to 22 m, 3 m and 100,000 kg.
- Transporting a tower crane: dimensions, exemption and route: Mast, jib and ballast of a tower crane travel to the site in parts. When that fits the legal dimensions, when you need an exemption, and the route.
Agriculture and parcels
- Navigation for agricultural vehicles: Navigate your tractor over roads where you may drive: over the agricultural road map, never on the expressway or motorway, and around sign C8.
- Tractor navigation app: how to set it up: The Truckroute app navigates your tractor: type Agricultural, dimensions and weight, 25 or 40 km/h, N roads or not, and the agricultural road map in view.
- Route over the agricultural road map: How the Truckroute app calculates an agricultural route: the RDW agricultural vehicles map, every road up to 60 km/h, and a notice for every stretch outside it.
- May a tractor use the expressway or motorway?: A tractor may not use the motorway (at least 60 km/h) or the expressway (at least 50 km/h). It may use an 80 km/h N road, at 40 km/h.
- Sign C8: closed to agricultural vehicles: Sign C8 bans agricultural and forestry tractors, motor vehicles with limited speed and mobile machines. What it means and how the app navigates with it.
- How fast may a tractor go: 25 or 40 km/h: A tractor may drive 25 km/h, and 40 km/h outside built-up areas and on some roads inside them. This is how the Truckroute app calculates the driving time.
- Navigation for agricultural contractors and farms: Send your drivers with tractor and machine straight to the right field, over roads where the combination is allowed and fits. With the Truckroute app.
- Navigating to a cadastral parcel: Type a cadastral designation, such as Barsingerhorn A 876, and the Truckroute app navigates to the parcel and shows its outline. Anywhere in the Netherlands.
