Add Multiple Route Addresses, Truck Destinations Or Customer Addresses

To plan a single-destination or multi-destination truck route, all you need to do is add the preferred addresses. For your convenience, you can add addresses manually or pick addresses right from the map on the truck routing app. To pick an address from the map, tap and hold the preferred location on the map, and the app will automatically suggest the nearest valid address.

Next, check the suggested address and tap the “Add To Route” button to add the address to your route as a destination. After that, Route4Trucks will automatically generate the fastest trucker route and most optimal GPS trucking directions to the added address, accounting for your vehicle’s parameters and restrictions.

To manually add a destination, tap the “Enter Address” field and start typing the preferred address. Route4Trucks will automatically suggest valid addresses based on the entered details. Accordingly, you can select one of the autocomplete-suggested addresses and then tap the “Add To Route” button to add the address to your route as a destination. After that, Route4Trucks will automatically provide the fastest and most optimal truck driving directions to the added address.

Accordingly, you can add more addresses to the route to plan a multi-stop route. Specifically, you can plan commercial vehicle routes with up to 5 destinations. To do so, pick more addresses from the trucker map or tap the “Add Stop” field and manually add more addresses to the route. This way, in addition to customer addresses, you can also add truck stops, rest areas, weigh stations, fuel stations, truck parking spots, CAT scales, and other destinations to your truck route.

Furthermore, after adding the preferred addresses, you can easily remove destinations or change their sequence. To change the route sequence, drag and drop destinations to the preferred sequence position in the route. After removing destinations or changing their sequence, Route4Trucks will automatically update the truck driving directions. After adding addresses in the preferred visitation sequence, you can start the truck GPS navigation of your route.

Select Road Restrictions For Toll Roads, Highways, Ferries, Tunnels And Unpaved Roads

Additionally, you can enable various road restrictions before starting route navigation. To do so, tap the Settings Icon in the top left corner of the map before starting the commercial navigation. After that, in the “Restrictions” section, you can enable or disable the following road restrictions: Avoid Highways, Avoid Tolls, Avoid Ferries, Avoid Tunnels, and Avoid Unpaved Roads.

The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and Remaining Distance to the next destination are displayed at the bottom of the navigation screen. To check the ETA and remaining distance to each destination on a multi-stop trucking route, tap the Menu Icon in the bottom left corner.

Additionally, you can place two fingers on the map and move them vertically to tilt the map up or down.

By adjusting your truck map zoom and tilt angle, you can see the landscape along the route, detailed building shapes, directions from your current location to the next destination, or the entire route overview.

Furthermore, you can add, remove, or resequence destinations after you’ve started navigating your truck route. First, tap and hold the X Icon to exit truck navigation.
