Routes & mileage

Plan stops, rests, arrival and payments.

Your trip, leg by leg

We do not calculate roads from addresses. Enter each leg’s km or look them up externally. Speed is an editable assumption, not a legal speed limit.

1. Destination
Loading, unloading, fuel, tolls and nights

When adding or reordering stops, check each leg’s km: they are not recalculated automatically. Google Maps may suggest car routes; check your vehicle restrictions.

Look up your route

The map locates places; it does not calculate roads, distances or truck restrictions. Showing it queries addresses through HeiGIT and maps through OpenStreetMap.

Complete the origin and route locations.

Schedule and budget

Amounts cover the whole trip, without multiplying by driver or converting currency. If mileage includes fuel, leave separate fuel costs at zero. Times keep this UTC offset: time zone and daylight-saving changes are not adjusted.

Driver 1

Both drivers are assumed to start after a full daily rest. With two drivers, both are present throughout and the passenger does no work while the other drives. Prior hours must use Monday–Sunday weeks.

Applied rules and limitations

General EU goods framework: 9 h daily, or 10 h up to twice per week; 56 h weekly and 90 h across two consecutive weeks. Full 45-minute break after 4.5 h. Daily rest of 11 h, or 9 h with two drivers present; regular 45 h weekly rest before exceeding six 24 h periods.

With two drivers, the passenger may take a break while the other drives provided they do not assist. Daily rest takes place with the vehicle stationary. The plan reserves 11 h within 24 h with one driver and 9 h within 30 h with two.

Country and scope identify the assumption; national or temporary exceptions, AETR, reduced rests and compensation are not applied. Working-time rules, night work, ferries, returns, road restrictions, traffic and each vehicle’s legal tachograph obligation are not validated. Check scope by mass and service: vehicle selection does not determine exemptions.

Frequently asked questions

How does tachograph mode calculate breaks?

For one driver, the model inserts a full 45-minute break after 4.5 driving hours when driving remains, or a rest when due. It uses the entered history and configured limits. This is indicative planning, not a compliance certificate, and does not cover every exception.

Which expenses are included in total cost?

It adds distance-based charges, hourly costs, allowances, overnight costs, entered fuel costs and tolls. The hourly basis can be driving, work or total time. If your mileage rate already includes fuel, do not add it again.

How is cost per delivery calculated?

Total cost is divided by stops marked as deliveries. This is an average, not an allocation by shipment weight or distance. Non-delivery stops do not increase the divisor; with no deliveries, no average is calculated.

Does the mileage represent an actual road route?

That depends on the distance source you select: manually entered, estimated or externally checked. The plan uses those distances and average speed to calculate driving time. Map links let you check the journey outside UtilityInstant; routes and live traffic are not imported automatically.
