Boost Truck Utilization & Efficiency with FarEye’s Truck Routing Solution
Leverage FarEye’s unique truck routing capabilities that are tailored to meet the needs of modern day supply chains. Improve driver working hours compliance adherence. Reduce empty backhauls and dwell times with FarEye’s Truck Routing solution tailored to the needs of modern day trucking.
FTL Routing
- Multi-day route planning: Plan multi-day routes factoring delivery times and driver working hours compliance.
- Dedicated capacity: Improve fleet utilization and capacity management for dedicated/captive fleet with truck route optimization. Ensure safe and on-time delivery for high-value goods and accommodate specific requirements.
- Driver hours compliance: Ensure that driver hours are compliant with DoT standards and required break times are accounted for without affecting committed SLAs.
LTL Routing
- Multi-stop routing: Optimize routes for multiple pickups and stops to ensure on-time delivery of shipments. Minimize transit times and reduce fuel consumption by consolidating multiple shipments heading in the same direction into a single truckload.
- Real-time visibility: Get instant real-time visibility into shipments, allowing carriers and shippers to monitor progress and address potential delays proactively. Enhance reliability and customer satisfaction by ensuring timely deliveries.
- Load optimization: Co-mingle loads and optimize cost for bulk shipping.
Multiple Constraints
- Order parameters: Factor order-based constraints that include weight and height of orders and delivery windows while planning routes.
- Vehicle parameters: Consider vehicle type and dimensions - height, width and length of trucks to plan routes. Plan the right fleet mix - EVs, trucks, vans and more depending on volume and routes.
- Road parameters: Ensure accurate delivery ETAs and avoid blockage-related delays considering tunnels, bridges and road restrictions at the time of route planning.
- Driver parameters: Adhere to compliance requirements & labor laws for driver management by factoring rest stops and breaks. Optimize routes considering fuel stops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is truck routing important?
Truck routing is critical for minimizing empty backhauls and reducing fuel consumption in modern supply chains. FarEye enables businesses to ensure strict hours-of-service compliance and maximize fleet utilization. This strategic planning lowers costs while boosting On-Time In-Full (OTIF) performance, First Attempt Delivery Rates (FADR), and enhancing operational profitability.
What factors are considered in truck routing?
Effective routing accounts for multiple constraints, including vehicle dimensions, load capacity, and specific delivery windows. FarEye factors in road restrictions, such as bridges and tunnels, alongside driver compliance parameters, such as mandatory rest breaks. This comprehensive approach ensures safety, legal adherence, and accurate delivery ETAs for complex logistics networks.
How does GPS play a role in truck routing?
GPS provides the foundation for real-time visibility, allowing dispatchers to monitor shipments continuously. FarEye uses this location data to enable proactive management of potential delays and ensure accurate ETAs. It transforms static plans into dynamic operations, helping carriers track progress, optimize fuel stops, and maintain strict adherence to delivery schedules.
What are the benefits of using truck routing software?
Using advanced software minimizes driver idling time and significantly reduces the cost of empty backhauls. FarEye enhances fleet efficiency by consolidating LTL loads and optimizing multi-day routes. It also ensures strict driver compliance adherence and enables on-time, secure deliveries, driving down total transportation costs while boosting overall service reliability.
What is the role of route optimization in truck routing?
Route optimization is the engine behind cost-effective logistics, calculating the most efficient paths to minimize transit times. FarEye utilizes this to co-mingle LTL loads and plan complex multi-day journeys. By intelligently matching dedicated capacity with demand, it maximizes vehicle utilization, reduces fuel consumption, and ensures profitable, seamless order fulfillment.
