PC*Miler HazMat

pcmiler hazmat bostonPC*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. Federal government mandates state that shippers and carriers are to implement security plans regarding the transport of hazardous materials. A major step in that process is providing drivers with routes and mileage that ensure compliance with these federal, state/province 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 hazardous commodity they are hauling.

Benefits

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

  • Enhance dispatch/routing with hazmat-specific driving directions
  • Ensure accurate driver pay and payroll auditing by providing hazmat-specific mileage calculations
  • Calculate more realistic transit times by defining a departure or arrival date and time, setting stop costs and driver break options, setting border crossing wait times, and opt to factor in real-time or historical traffic* trends per route

Features

  • Hazardous materials and dangerous goods route restrictions and allowances in the U.S. and Canada
  • Over 30 hazmat-specific road classes and routing categories modeled, for example: Alternate, Preferred, Designated, and Prohibited
