Build a 3–6 stop pickup/delivery route
Mark each operational point as pickup or delivery and enter the cargo data used by the route. The first stop remains fixed and the active truck defines the LDM and weight limits.
Logistics planning tool
Pickup & Delivery Route Optimizer
Pickup & Delivery Route Optimizer brings 3–6 route points marked as pickup or delivery, cargo LDM and weight, and the active truck capacity into the same LogicCalc workspace as route, timing and transport economics. Review a reordered pickup and delivery sequence that stays within cargo LDM and weight limits and is compared on distance, time and estimated cost before quoting or dispatching.

How it works
How it works
Optimize a route where stop order changes the cargo carried between locations. LogicCalc evaluates alternative pickup and delivery sequences, tracks the running LDM and weight against the active truck, and only prices candidates that remain load-feasible.
Check the running load for each sequence
For every candidate order, LogicCalc updates the cargo state after each pickup or delivery. Orders that exceed the selected truck's LDM or weight capacity are removed before final comparison.
Price the feasible shortlist
Routable, load-feasible sequences are fully calculated and compared on distance, driving time and estimated internal cost. Apply a new order only after the operational meaning of every pickup and delivery still makes sense.
Typical use cases
What you can use Pickup & Delivery Route Optimizer for
Use this optimizer when cargo changes along the trip and a shorter route is useless if the truck becomes infeasible between stops.
Multi-pickup and multi-drop routes
Sequence several pickups and deliveries while checking the truck's running LDM and weight after every operation.
Load-feasible stop sequencing
Avoid a route order that looks short on the map but temporarily loads more cargo than the selected truck can carry.
Reducing unnecessary detours
Compare the remaining feasible orders by route distance, time and estimated cost instead of optimizing geography in isolation.
Practical example
Illustrative pickup/delivery sequence
Imagine a fixed start in Vienna, pickups in Linz and Salzburg, and deliveries in Munich and Nuremberg. LogicCalc can test routable orders for the flexible stops and recalculate the running cargo after each operation. A geographically attractive order is discarded if it exceeds LDM or weight capacity; only feasible candidates continue to the cost and time comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Pickup & Delivery Route Optimizer FAQ
How is this different from the general truck route optimizer?
This page focuses on routes where pickups and deliveries change the cargo carried between stops. The optimizer checks the running LDM and weight for each candidate sequence before it is shortlisted.
Does it guarantee that every loading plan is physically safe?
No. The feasibility check covers the configured cargo LDM and weight limits. Axle loads, exact 3D placement, securing and site rules still require separate checks.
What happens to fixed appointment stops?
Timed appointment stops are not reordered in the current version, so the optimizer does not move a time-critical stop just to improve the route.
Can I use Avoid Countries at the same time?
Not in the current optimizer workflow. Avoid Countries must be off while stop-order alternatives are being evaluated.
What the cargo-feasibility check does not cover
The optimizer protects against obvious LDM and weight problems in the running load, but dispatch still needs the real loading and legal checks.
- The first stop stays fixed, the route must contain 3–6 points and timed appointment stops are not reordered.
- Avoid Countries must be off during optimization.
- Passing the LDM/weight check does not prove correct axle distribution, cargo securing, loading order on the trailer or legal access at a site.
