A strong truck route planner calculates legal commercial routes while accounting for truck restrictions, toll roads, and distance. Platforms like Haulweb focus on practical routing accuracy first, avoiding low bridges and restricted roads while keeping planning fast and simple.

Yes. Some platforms offer free truck routing with city and ZIP lookups across North America. Haulweb provides routing at no cost for carriers, with additional planning tools such as toll estimates and fuel cost calculations available when deeper analysis is needed.

Brokers typically rely on shared tracking links, manual check calls, or ELD-based location data. Systems like Haulweb streamline this by allowing carriers to share live truck visibility directly, without requiring constant communication.

No. Brokers do not need full ELD access to track loads. With platforms such as Haulweb, carriers can share only live location and status information while keeping compliance logs and sensitive data private.

This depends on the platform. Some systems monetize or redistribute ELD data. Haulweb is designed to use ELD data strictly for operational visibility and does not share it with insurance providers, brokers, or external third parties.

Yes. Modern platforms allow carriers to choose exactly which trucks are shared, when they are visible, and with whom. Haulweb gives carriers full control over fleet visibility instead of enforcing all-or-nothing access.

Tracking accuracy depends on the data source. ELD-based tracking is generally more reliable than manual updates. Haulweb uses direct ELD integrations to provide consistent, near real-time location updates.

Advanced routing tools can estimate toll costs, fuel usage, and trip expenses. Haulweb supports these calculations to help dispatchers and brokers plan routes with clearer cost expectations.
