Start from a calculated 3–6 stop route
Build the route first so LogicCalc has the current stop order, cargo state, active truck profile and cost settings. The first stop remains fixed during optimization.
Logistics planning tool
Truck Route Optimizer
Truck Route Optimizer brings a calculated route with 3–6 stops, pickup and delivery actions, cargo LDM and weight, the active fleet profile and route economics into the same LogicCalc workspace as route, timing and transport economics. Review a feasible stop sequence with estimated distance, driving time and internal cost compared with the current order before quoting or dispatching.

How it works
How it works
Use the optimizer after a multi-stop route already exists. LogicCalc keeps the first stop fixed, tests routable alternatives for the remaining sequence and compares feasible candidates using distance, driving time, cargo limits and route economics.
Test alternative stop sequences
LogicCalc checks alternative routable orders and filters out candidates that do not fit the running cargo LDM or weight limits. Timed appointment stops are not reordered in the current version.
Compare and apply a better order
The remaining shortlist is evaluated with the real route calculation, including distance, driving time and estimated internal cost. Apply a candidate only after the new sequence makes operational sense.
Typical use cases
What you can use Truck Route Optimizer for
Use the truck route optimizer when the route exists but the order of several flexible stops is still open.
Multi-stop dispatch optimization
Test whether a different order of several stops removes an unnecessary detour while keeping the first stop fixed.
Reducing route cost and distance
Compare feasible sequences by more than kilometres alone, using route time and estimated internal cost as part of the dispatch decision.
Checking a cargo-feasible stop order
Reject stop orders that create an impossible running cargo load against the selected truck's LDM or weight capacity.
Practical example
Illustrative optimization: fixed start with three flexible stops
Suppose the current sequence is Vienna → Brno → Linz → Prague. The optimizer can test other routable orders for the three stops after Vienna, keep only candidates that remain within the truck's cargo limits, and then compare the shortlisted trips on distance, driving time and internal cost. The exact winner depends on the route and settings; the example illustrates the workflow, not a guaranteed saving.
Frequently asked questions
Truck Route Optimizer FAQ
What is the difference between the planner and the optimizer?
The multi-stop planner calculates the sequence you enter. The optimizer starts from an existing 3–6 stop route and tests alternative stop orders while keeping the first stop fixed.
Does the optimizer only look for the shortest route?
No. Candidate orders are routed and the shortlist is compared using distance, driving time and estimated internal cost, after cargo-feasibility checks.
Why can a stop be left in its current position?
Stops with a fixed appointment are not reordered in the current optimizer version. That prevents the optimization from silently moving a time-critical stop.
Why is the optimizer unavailable with Avoid Countries?
The current optimizer requires Avoid Countries to be off so candidate sequences can be compared on the same routing workflow. Use the normal route calculation when a country exclusion is mandatory.
Optimizer limits to check
The optimizer is deliberately conservative. It helps with stop order, but it does not replace the dispatcher’s operational validation.
- The current optimizer works with 3–6 route points and keeps the first stop fixed.
- Timed appointment stops are not reordered, and Avoid Countries must be off for optimization.
- LDM and weight feasibility do not replace axle-load, cargo-securing, legal-access or site-specific checks.
