1. The "Typeahead" Search: Do not scroll! Just start typing the name of the business, the city, or the zip code into the Pick-up or Drop-off box. The database will automatically filter matches for you to click.
2. Safety Overrides: The engine defaults to Legal Limits (13.6' H x 8.5' W x 80k lbs). If you type in numbers larger than this, the engine automatically enters "Oversize Mode", disabling tight turns, residential roads, and toll booths.
3. Heavy Haul Math:
- Max Speed: Oversize limits vary (e.g. MI is 55mph, NM is 65mph). Enter your max permitted speed and the engine will precisely recalculate your drive time.
- Drive Hrs / Day: If a driver is on daylight-only permits (e.g. 9 hours of driving a day), enter 9. The system will calculate how many actual calendar days the transit will take.
4. Weather & Hazards: The ETA Weather is automatically calculated based on the exact hour your truck arrives at the destination. Wildfires and severe DOT closures are pulled live and routed around automatically.
