Read the permit
Upload a state-issued oversize or overweight permit PDF and get structured route data back: roads, directions, time windows and restrictions.

From permit PDF to live navigation.
Route to the restrictions
Restrictions are applied on the map, so the route follows the permitted roads and avoids what the permit excludes.
Discuss permit routing
Drive it in Google Maps
Load the finished route into Google Maps and CarPlay so drivers get live turn-by-turn guidance along the permitted path.
Discuss CarPlay delivery
Restrictions, mapped.
Illustrative examples of the permit conditions the API reads and applies. Sample scenarios, not real permits.
Wide load, daylight travel only
The permit names the roads, bans night travel and restricts weekends. The route and its time windows are returned together.
Easily integrate into your current product.
Expand offering
Using your existing app, website or both, add oversize loads to your offering without building permit reading and routing yourself.
Drop-in API
Add permit reading, restriction routing and navigation hand-off to the product your customers already use.
Reviewable output
Extracted restrictions and the resulting route can be shown to dispatchers before a driver rolls.
Driver-ready
Routes load into Google Maps and CarPlay, so drivers use the navigation they already know.
From a permit PDF to a driveable route.
Four steps, all through one integration.
-
Send the permit
Your platform submits the state-issued PDF to the API.
-
Extract the restrictions
Permitted roads, directions, time windows and conditions are read from the document.
-
Build the route
Using our patent pending routing algorithm, the restrictions are applied to the map to produce a compliant route.
-
Navigate live
The route is loaded into Google Maps and CarPlay for turn-by-turn guidance.
Good to know before you integrate.
A few answers about how the API works with permits and navigation.
Have a specific question?
Tell us about your platform and the states you cover, and we can discuss the integration.
Go to the enquiry formWhich platforms do you support?
Any web-enabled platform: iOS, Android, or any web framework that can talk to a JSON-based API.
What does the API take as input?
A state-issued oversize or overweight permit PDF. It returns the extracted route restrictions and a route that follows them.
Does the route replace the permit?
No. The permit remains the legal document, and drivers and carriers are responsible for following it. The route is a navigation aid built from the permit’s restrictions.
Which restrictions does it handle?
Permitted roads and directions, time-of-day and day-of-week limits, and conditions that affect routing such as restricted structures. Supported items depend on the state and the permit format.
How does the route reach the driver?
The route is loaded into Google Maps, so it can be used for live guidance on a phone or through CarPlay.
Which states are supported?
All 50 states. Permit layouts differ by state, and the API reads each state’s format.
How do we integrate it?
It is an API for companies that already serve this market, such as permit services, dispatch tools and fleet software. Contact us and we will walk through the integration.
Make more money per permit.
Better service integration means more profit. Give your customers permit-ready oversize routing and grow revenue from the platform you already run.
