Truck route planner for Europe
Enter your start, destination and optional stops, describe your vehicle, and get a route with distance, driving time, planned breaks, weather checkpoints and fuel cost.
Why a truck needs its own route planning
Height, weight, width and length decide whether a bridge, tunnel, village street or mountain road is usable. A car route can lead a truck into a dead end. PlanHaul sends your vehicle profile to a heavy-goods-vehicle routing profile, but restriction data in the underlying map is never complete – always check signs and your certified truck navigation.
What you get
Total distance, pure driving time, trip duration including the 45-minute breaks and daily rests that EU rules require, estimated arrival, fuel use and cost, and a weather forecast for each checkpoint at the time you are expected to pass it.
Tips for better estimates
Enter your real fuel consumption from your trip computer, add intermediate stops in the order you will drive them, and set the departure time realistically – weather and rest planning both depend on it.
Frequently asked questions
Is PlanHaul a truck navigation system?
No. PlanHaul is a planning assistant. Routes are approximate and not verified for heavy goods vehicles. Use certified truck navigation and follow road signs while driving.
How is the weather along the route calculated?
We calculate the route, place checkpoints about every 100 km, estimate when you reach each one (including breaks and rests), and fetch the forecast for that hour from Open-Meteo. If the time is beyond the 16-day forecast range, weather is shown as unavailable.
Can I rely on the driving-hours estimate for compliance?
No. It follows the main rules of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 for a rested driver who only drives. Real compliance needs your driving history, other work and your tachograph.
How is fuel cost calculated?
Fuel used = distance × consumption ÷ 100, and cost = fuel used × your diesel price. We do not guess live fuel prices; you enter your own.
Do you show toll prices?
Not automatically. Without a verified data source we do not invent toll prices. Use the manual toll calculator with the amounts from your toll operator.
Do I need an account?
No. All main tools are free and work without registration.
