Hazardous Material Routing Software

PC*MILER|HazMat generates point-to-point and street-level routes, mileage and driving directions for hauling hazardous materials and dangerous goods in the U.S. and Canada. The government has mandated that shippers and carriers implement security plans regarding hazmat transportation. A major step in that process is to provide drivers with routes and maps that ensure compliance with these federal, state and local restrictions and route designations. To ensure fleet and driver safety, PC*MILER|HazMat identifies where drivers should legally be traveling for the particular type of commodity they are hauling.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Determine routes and mileage based on over 30 hazmat-specific road classes and routing categories, for example: Alternate, Preferred, Designated, and Prohibited. (See chart below for other examples.)

Generate routes based on six hazmat-specific routing types: Corrosive, Explosives, Flammable, General, Inhalants and Radioactives.

Visual map representation of hazmat-specific prohibited and designated roadway throughout North America.

Override any hazmat or dangerous goods restriction in the database to reflect individual permit information.

Ensure driver compliance with DOT, nationwide hazmat, and nationwide dangerous goods regulations.

Generate hazmat-specific driving directions that include warnings and/or restriction messages in the turn-by-turn directions.

Compare rating mileage and hazmat mileage to create compensating rate factors in support of short- and long-term rate negotiations.
