Frequently asked questions
Maps for trucks, such as those available in fireTMS, include additional information needed by the carrier and driver: toll roads, weight and size restrictions, truck bans, etc. This allows you to quickly plan a route that the vehicle can travel safely and legally, eliminating the risk of driving under a bridge that is too low, onto a route intended only for lighter vehicles, or into a restricted area.
Maps in fireTMS help optimise costs and travel time, choose the best route option, and accurately calculate fuel and toll costs. They speed up the work of the freight forwarder, reduce the risk of errors, and facilitate accurate order planning and transport profitability.
Transport maps in fireTMS automatically select a route based on loading and unloading points, vehicle parameters, time and costs, and allow you to choose the most advantageous option for a given situation: the shortest, cheapest, fastest or best. The route for a truck can be easily modified, quickly adapting it to changing conditions or customer requirements.
Route planning involves entering the loading and unloading points and vehicle parameters. The system analyses tolls and road restrictions as well as available travel options, and then presents the most optimal route options along with costs and travel times, which facilitates logistics decisions.
Simply indicate the route, select the vehicle and set its parameters. fireTMS will provide possible travel options, calculate costs and suggest a route tailored to the appropriate truck. The route is directly linked to the order, which can be sent to the driver via the fireTMS Driver mobile application.
