Note
Remember to always use common sense and obey all traffic rules when deciding if you should follow any suggested routes.
Navigation uses the information you provide about your vehicle to intelligently route around road features or areas that could prevent you from driving safely. For example, if you drive a large or heavy vehicle, there might be some bridges you cannot drive under or over. This information also ensures that, if available, hazardous cargo loads are routed along suitable DOT Hazardous Materials Routes.
If you see the following message, you do not have permission to change the vehicle settings:
Contact your manager if you feel that one of the vehicle settings has been configured incorrectly.
If you have permissions to change the vehicle settings, the options are:
-
Load Type: Select the type of load your vehicle carries. This setting defines any hazmat (hazardous materials) your vehicle carries.
-
Vehicle Type: Select the closest matching vehicle type from the list. This setting determines the default vehicle dimensions and associated routing behavior.
