Heavy Haulage Routing & Permits
Heavy haulage routing and permits in one operational view
FRAI brings heavy haulage routing and permits, abnormal load planning and asset data into one live reference, so planners can route movements, raise permits and keep everything aligned without switching between disconnected tools.

1 permit pendingFRAI brings heavy haulage routing and permits into one operational view by keeping the route, permit, trailer build and schedule on one live reference. Planners route abnormal load movements, raise and track permits, and see status against the actual movement, working alongside permit systems such as ESDAL with no rip and replace.
The problem
Why is heavy haulage planning so fragmented?
Abnormal load movements depend on routes, permits, assets and notifications that live in separate systems and inboxes. Planners stitch them together by hand, and a change in one place rarely updates the others.
Routes planned in isolation
Route feasibility, structures and restrictions are worked out separately from the permit and the asset plan, so context gets lost.
Permit admin is manual
Raising and tracking permits across portals and email is slow, and status is hard to see against the actual movement.
No single source of truth
When the route, permit, trailer build and schedule live apart, one change forces re-checking everything by hand.
How FRAI fixes it
How FRAI connects routing and permits
FRAI ties heavy haulage routing and permits to the same live reference as the asset plan and schedule. It works alongside permit systems such as ESDAL, so route, permit and asset context stay aligned on one shipment, one live reference.
- Plan abnormal load routes with the movement, trailer build and schedule in the same view.
- Raise and track permits alongside the route, with status visible against the movement.
- Connect to permit and : FRAI works with your existing systems.
- Keep route, permit and asset changes synchronised so nothing is re-checked by hand.

What changes day to day
Before FRAI
- Route, permit and asset plan worked out in separate tools
- Permit status chased across portals and email threads
- A route change means re-checking the permit and asset plan manually
- Planners rebuild context every time a movement changes
With FRAI
- Route, permit and asset plan share one live reference
- Permit status visible against the actual movement
- Changes propagate so route, permit and assets stay aligned
- Planners see the full picture for each movement in one view

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about heavy haulage routing & permits with FRAI.
Does FRAI replace ESDAL?
No. FRAI works alongside permit systems such as ESDAL. It connects to them so route and permit context stays aligned with the asset plan and schedule on one live reference, rather than replacing the permit system itself.
How does FRAI help with abnormal load routing?
FRAI keeps the route, permit, trailer build and schedule in one operational view, so planners can assess feasibility and raise permits without losing context between disconnected tools.
Can permit status be tracked against a movement?
Yes. Permit status is visible against the actual movement on its live reference, so planners and operators can see where every permit stands without chasing email threads.
