Route 66, also known as the "Main Street of America," is a historic highway that connects Chicago to Los Angeles. Although it is no longer part of the official U.S. highway system, it remains significant for historical and logistical context.
Severe weather like snowstorms can cause road closures and dangerous conditions. Rerouting or delaying trucks ensures safety and reduces risks of accidents.
Colorado has specific regulations requiring trucks to carry snow chains in mountainous areas during winter months. Dispatchers must ensure drivers comply with these rules when operating in the state.
Dispatchers need to account for tolls, traffic conditions, and weigh station regulations to plan an efficient route along I-95, one of the busiest highways on the East Coast.
Weigh stations verify that trucks meet legal weight limits and comply with safety regulations. Dispatchers must ensure trucks are not overloaded to avoid fines and delays.
