For Drivers

Your permit is a PDF. HeavyHaul Agent turns it into answers.

Having the permit is not the same as understanding it. Upload your permit — from any permit company, broker, dispatcher, or state portal — and get practical help with curfews, escorts, validity, routes, and restrictions, right from your phone.

The driver's real problem

The permit is in your hand. The answers are buried in it.

Many drivers already have their permits — from a broker, a dispatcher, a permit company, or straight from the state. But a multi-state trip means multiple technical PDFs, each with its own routes, travel hours, curfews, escort rules, and provisions written for the DOT, not for a driver doing 60 on the interstate.

The daily questions are practical: Can I move right now? Am I in a curfew zone? Do I need an escort here? Is my route correct? Today, answering them means reading every page, calling dispatch, or guessing.

HeavyHaul Agent is the permit companion: the permit stays the legal document — the Agent is the interpreter, checker, and safety layer that sits between you and the paperwork.

Driver asks:

Can I travel through Atlanta at 5 PM?

🤖 HeavyHaul Agent:

Based on your uploaded Georgia permit and state provisions, oversize movement is restricted through the Atlanta metro during weekday rush hours (4:00–6:00 PM). You should plan to be parked before entering the restricted area.

Confidence: HighSources checked: Uploaded permit, state provisions, internal notes

The original permit remains the controlling document — review it before moving.

Driver asks:

Do I need escorts on this segment?

🤖 HeavyHaul Agent:

Your permit indicates one front escort is required on non-interstate roads at your width. Your exact road type could not be confirmed from current data — review your permit before movement.

Confidence: PartialSources checked: Uploaded permit, state provisions

The original permit remains the controlling document — review it before moving.

Every answer shows its confidence level and the sources checked — permit, state provisions, and operating notes. When confidence is low, the Agent says so honestly instead of guessing.

Built for the cab, not the office

A simple trip screen that answers: "Am I okay to move right now?"

Works with any permit

Bought through your dispatcher, a broker, another permit company, or the state — upload it and it works the same. HeavyHaul Agent is permit-source neutral.

Permit validity at a glance

Effective dates, expiration, days remaining, and states — with a clear warning when a permit is expiring or already expired.

Curfew status

When can you move and when must you sit — statewide travel windows, metro curfews, weekend and holiday bans, pulled out of the fine print.

Escort requirements

Front, chase, height pole, or police escort — by state and road type, based on your permit and dimensions.

Dimension check

If the permit says 12'0" and the load is 12'6", you see the warning before movement — not after the stop. A second set of eyes on every trip.

Provisions, explained

"Subject to general provisions" — but what do they say? Ask about flags, signs, lights, weather rules, and convoy restrictions in plain language.

One trip, all states

Houston to Chicago means TX, OK, MO, and IL permits — organized by state in one trip. Tap a state and ask about that state only.

Buy routes when you need them

Have the permit but need a clean, easy-to-follow visual route? Request one inside the trip — once purchased, everyone on the trip can see it.

Your team sees the same answers

Questions and answers are shared on the trip with your dispatcher — no more relaying restrictions over the phone.
