Route for long loads

Length and exemption

An annual exemption for indivisible loads goes up to 27.50 m, only on the green roads of the DWO. Longer, you apply for a one-off exemption per route; up to 60 m long it can be valid for longer than 4 weeks. At tight junctions and roundabouts the length often decides whether a route works.

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.

How to plan it in Truckroute

Choose abnormal load and enter the length. Truckroute then plans only over roads where the RDW itself can grant an exemption for that length. Above 50 m long Truckroute does not plan.
