PC*MILER Routing Types

PC*MILER Routing Types

Practical Routes

Practical routes represent distances and driving routes that a driver
would normally take to minimize time and cost. Practical Routes
model the trade-off between taking the most direct path and
staying on major, high quality highways. Interstate highways are
given a higher priority than toll roads, which, in turn, are given
a higher priority than secondary highways, and so on. Routing
Instructions and mileage can be used when actual travel distances
and directions are needed.

PC*MILER Practical route consider distance, road quality, terrain,
urban/rural classifications, truck-restricted roads, and designated
principal and secondary through routes.

PC*MILER Practical Route mileage and state-by-state mileage
breakdowns (Note: PC*MILER does not provide state by state
milage breakdown information) can be used to supplement
your regular fuel tax reporting documents for many states. Many
state audit departments have purchased licenses to incorporate
PC*MILER Navigator into the their audit procedures.

Economic Routes

Economic routes favor major roads over local ones to optimize
fuel milage.

User’s Guide

61

PC*MILER Routing Types

PC*MILER Routing Types

Shortest Routes

PC*MILER Shortest Routes represent distances and driving routes
that a vehicle would take to minimize total distance traveled while
still following a reasonable route. For instance, Shortest Route
mileage and routes will also avoid truck-restricted roads and, in
some cases, may favor a beltway rather than traveling directly
through a city.

ALK believes, however, that carriers and shippers alike would all be
better served by using a mileage tariff based on actual miles
traveled (i.e. similar to those generated using the PC*MILER Practical
Route Option), which would more accurately reflect true
transportation costs.

National Network Routes

The National Network is a U.S. government-designated system of
highways originally established by the Surface Transportation
Assistance Act of 1982 (STAA). This routing option is based on the
federally-designated National Network system updated in the April,
1992 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 658, Appendix A. The
National Network includes the Interstate System (several minor
segments are not included), and many selected U.S. and state
highways. Highways continue to be added to the National
Network by federal and state governments.

PC*MILER National Network routing represents distances and
driving routes which are most reasonable and legal for the larger
trucks authorized by the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of

1982.

62

User’s Guide

PC*MILER Routing Types

PC*MILER Routing Types

National Network routing stays on the National Network to the
maximum extent possible. Given that many areas are not
directly served by the National Network, the origin and stop-offs
of your route may not be on the National Network. In these cases
PC*Miler will take the shortest reasonable path from the origin
and stop-offs to the Network. Detailed Route Reports
(driving directions) for PC*MILER National Network routes provide
a warning wherever the route is forced to use a non-conforming
link. These road segments should be checked before traveling,
National Network mileage tends to be higher than Shortest or
Practical mileage.

These designated highways permit, at a minimum, 102” wide,
single 48 ft. trailers and 28 ft. double trailers. The interstate system
and most, but not all, remaining designated routes are open to
80,000 pound vehicles. Certain states, notably Arkansas and
Mississippi, have designated certain National Network segments
with less than an 80,000 pound capacity.

In addition to the national Network highways, access routes and
access policies are components of routing STAA dimensioned
trucks. The Federal government has mandated that no state may
prohibit travel from the National Network for a minimum of one
road mile unless safety restrictions apply. Additionally, no state may
deny reasonable access to terminals and facilities for food, fuel,
repairs, and rest.

User’s Guide

63

PC*MILER Routing Types

PC*MILER Routing Types

Several Sates maintain more generous access policies and lists of
specifically designated access routes to terminals and facilities. (For
detailed information about pre-approved access routes, contact the
individual states.) Should you need to travel beyond the National
Network and the access roads, you must acquire the proper permit.

NOTE:

These suggested National Network routing are based on official
highway maps, the Code of Federal Regulations. Suggested
National Network routing is based on information provided by
state governments. It is provided without warranty of any kind. The

user assumes full responsibility for any delay, expense,
loss, or damage which may occur as a result of its use.

53 Foot Trailer Routing

Because every mile equals money, PC*MILER now offers enhanced
routing specifically for 53’/102” trailers. The calculations for these
routes are based on National Network routing, with the addition of
roads that permit 53’/102” trailers.

Detailed Route reports for PC*MILER 53’ Trailer routes now provide
a warning wherever the route is forced to use a non-conforming
link (a red exclamation point also appears in the route window for
the generated route).

Heavy/Light Vehicle Routing
(Override Restrictions)

In addition to the five basic route types, the Heavy and Light
Vehicle routing option is also a critical setting. A “heavy vehicle” is
one weighing at least 80,000 pounds; a “light vehicle” weighs less
than 80,000 pounds.

When Override Restrictions is left unchecked, Heavy Vehicle
routing will be in effect, so both truck-prohibited and
truck-restricted roads will always be avoided. In addition, Heavy
Vehicle routing takes nationwide 13’ 6” height restrictions into
account.

If checked see page 49.

Territories, Canada, road safety information for heavy
vehicles using these roads can be found at:

Toll Roads

If Avoid If Possible is checked, PC*MILER Navigator will avoid
long stretches of toll roads but won’t take long, impractical detours,
to avoid toll bridges and tunnels. Example: a trip from Boston, MA
to Albany, NY avoids the Massachusetts Turnpike, but a trip from
Camden, NJ to Philadelphia, PA includes a toll bridge.

International Borders Open

If this option is checked, the calculated trip will ignore international
boundaries (Canada and Mexico) when necessary to generate the
best route. If this option is not check the calculated trip will never
cross international boundraries. For example, if all your stops are
in the United States, the route will stay in the U.S. even though the
most practical or shortest route would involve some Canadian mile­age.

Hazmat Routing

PC*MILER Navigator calculates routes for hazardous materials
based on over thirty different road categories. Hazmat route options
include: General, Caustic, Explosives, Flammable,
Inhalants, and Radioactive. To calculate normal (non-hazmat)
PC*MILER routes, select None. The table in Appendix B on the next
two pages shows how each PC*MILER hazmat route type handles
each hazmat road category.

type handles each hazmat road category.

Favor = routing will prefer these segments

Avoid = routing will go around these segments whenever

possible

No Change = routing will not be altered in any way

Discourage = a lesser degree of avoidance, used when a state

or road authority allows hazmat only at certain times of day, with
prior notification, by permit, or in limited quantities, and for tunnels
not otherwise classified.
