Commercial Truck Navigation
Commercial truck navigation that routes every truck around the low bridge.
One wrong turn under a low bridge ends the load. Vektor's truck-safe routing knows your height, weight, and cargo, plans around the HOS clock, and optimizes fuel fleet-wide.

Why commercial navigation
Consumer GPS routes trucks under bridges.
Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps are designed for passenger vehicles. They have no awareness of truck height, weight, length, axle count, or cargo type. When a driver follows consumer GPS, they risk low-bridge strikes, weight-restricted road violations, and routes through residential no-truck zones.
Commercial truck navigation uses specialized map data updated weekly that includes every low bridge clearance, weight-limited road, tunnel restriction, and no-truck zone in North America. Routes are calculated against your specific vehicle profile, not a passenger car.
Vektor Navigation goes further: it integrates with your ELD for real-time HOS awareness, optimizes routes across your entire fleet, and routes drivers to the most cost-effective fuel stops along their path.
The cost of the wrong route
Consumer GPS costs fleets real money.
Consumer GPS sends trucks under low bridges
Google Maps and Waze have no knowledge of truck height, weight, or cargo type. Every wrong route risks a bridge strike, DOT citation, or totaled trailer, and the costs compound fast.
Trailer, citation, downtime
Fuel wasted on unoptimized routing
Without fleet-wide optimization each driver picks their own route. The result is unnecessary deadhead, missed fuel discounts, and excess diesel spend that adds up monthly across every truck.
15-20% excess fuel spend
HOS violations from impossible ETAs
Routes planned without HOS awareness set drivers up to fail. They violate hours to make a delivery or miss the appointment window. Either way, it costs money and puts compliance at risk.

How it works
From vehicle profile to live fleet monitoring.
01
Enter vehicle profile
Set height, weight, length, axle count, and cargo type once. That profile travels with every route calculation the system runs for that vehicle.
02
Plan a truck-safe route
The system calculates the optimal path using commercial vehicle map data. Every low bridge, weight-restricted road, and no-truck zone is factored in before the driver starts.
03
Sync HOS from the ELD
Remaining drive time is pulled from the driver's ELD in real time. Mandatory breaks, 14-hour windows, and 70-hour cycles are built into the route plan automatically.
04
Monitor the fleet live
Dispatchers see every truck on one dashboard with real-time progress, ETA updates, and automatic alerts for route deviations, delays, or HOS clock warnings.
Capabilities
Navigation built for fleet managers, not commuters.
Four layers of intelligence that consumer GPS cannot replicate.
Truck-safe routing
Every route is built from commercial vehicle map data updated weekly. Height, weight, length, axle count, and hazmat class are applied at every turn. Low bridges, restricted tunnels, weight-limited roads, and no-truck zones are avoided before the driver ever touches the wheel.
- Vehicle profile applied to every route calculation
- Bridge clearance, weight, and hazmat restrictions enforced
- Commercial map data updated weekly across North America
HOS-compliant planning
Route plans that respect driver hours of service automatically. Remaining drive time is pulled from your ELD in real time. Mandatory breaks, 14-hour windows, and 70-hour cycles are factored into every route so drivers never face an impossible ETA.
- ELD-synced remaining drive time, not estimates
- Mandatory 30-minute breaks and rest stops scheduled
- 14-hour and 70-hour cycle awareness on every route
Real-time fleet visibility
Dispatchers see every truck on one dashboard with live position, route progress, and ETA updates. Automatic alerts fire when a driver deviates from route, falls behind schedule, or approaches a HOS clock warning before customers notice.
- Live map with all active trucks and route overlays
- ETA updates with automatic delay alerts
- Historical route performance analytics per driver
Fuel stop optimization
The system routes drivers to the cheapest fuel stops along their path based on price, network discounts, and location, without adding significant miles. Fleet-wide multi-stop sequencing reduces total deadhead beyond what any individual driver can optimize alone.
- Price-optimized fuel stops along the route
- Network discount integration for fuel card savings
- Fleet-wide multi-stop sequencing to reduce deadhead
One view. Every truck. Right now.
Dispatchers see live position, ETA, and HOS status for the whole fleet without making a call.

FAQ
Commercial truck navigation FAQ
Everything fleet managers need to know about truck-safe GPS routing.
Vektor Navigation gives fleet managers a single dashboard to monitor every truck's route, ETA, and fuel stops in real time. Instead of managing navigation truck-by-truck, dispatchers get fleet-wide route optimization that reduces total deadhead, enforces truck-safe routes, and sends alerts before customers notice a delay.
The route is clear before he turns the key.
Truck-safe, HOS-aware, and fuel-optimized, so the driver just drives and the load arrives on time.
