How to Plan Routes with Truck Volume

Routing deliveries based on Order Size

We are working in terms of “units” when speaking of “volume” and “size”. Therefore it doesn’t really matter if your volumes are in “weight”, “cubic capacity”, or even simply “pallets”.

To use order size in your truck routes, follow these steps:

  1. Add one additional column to your spreadsheet.

    2. The header for this column should be “Order Size”. This is where you put the size of each customer’s order. We only allow 1 digit after the decimal so make sure to use whole numbers.

The program will produce the minimum number of routes necessary to fit the orders you entered.
When finished, you can use these truck routes maps, and driving directions, or use the MyRoute app with your favorite navigation app, installed on your smartphone.
