Titan Cargo Authority

Oversized and heavy haul

Titan Cargo Authority

Titan reads the permit and keeps the load on the road that paper wrote down. Dispatch, the driver, the escort, the broker, and the shop are on that same move.

Gold permit line on US-36 through Fairview, Kansas, with the highway interchange and the town shown in three dimensions
The permit line on US-36 at Fairview. Gold is the paper. Zoom in and the lanes and the bridge are on the map.

The driver

On route

Leaving the bridge, then back on the permit

Stop

No way around. The load does not go through.

A paper, in drive order

  1. US-36 west from Fairview
  2. US-183 north to the Nebraska line
  3. US-183, US-136, L10E, US-30, NE-14, NE-84, US-81, NE-12
  4. NE-15 north to the South Dakota line

Checked on that line

  • Bridge — checked
  • Closures — leave it, then back on the permit
  • Construction — checked
  • Rail crossing — checked
  • Weather — checked
  • State rules — checked

What it does.

An oversized or heavy load does not get a new route to the destination. Titan takes the roads in the order the state wrote them and draws that line. A road that does not match the paper is not saved.

This is a planning tool. Routing, permits, escort rules, and the decision to roll still get checked with the authority that owns the road before the truck moves.

How it works.

Every check runs on the permit line at the same time. A layer with nothing on the road is marked checked. A layer that never answers is a stop, not a clear road.

  1. Read the paperThe permit text and the notes written on it. Roads come out in the order the truck drives them.
  2. Draw that stretchOnly the new state's piece is spliced in. The line stops where the paper stops.
  3. Check the lineBridges, closures, construction, rail crossings, weather, traffic, weight, and the state rules, all on that geometry.
  4. Go around, then rejoinThe detour is short. It has to come back onto the permit. A car route is never treated as a legal truck route.
  5. Hand it to the driverThe phone follows the saved line. On route, park, or stop. Off the line, the stop wins.
  6. Survey the poleThe high-pole survey runs only when the load has a permit, and only along that line. The short pole is the load height. The tall pole is six inches over.

What you see.

Dispatch, the driver, and the pole car are looking at one permitted move. A trip that clears is remembered by the height, the width, and the weight that made it.

Escorts, brokers, and the shop.

The permit is the move. The pole car, the company that books escorts, and the shop that holds the truck are looking at that load, not a separate job.

Yard and DOT sit on the same site. The yard watches the lot. DOT sees the packet for the truck that is rolling.
