Rest stops

If these requirements are not ALL met, you cannot use all parts of this feature. This topic may not apply to you at all.

Requirements for your company:

  • It must own the licenses for TruETA and TMWGoTripPlanning to use the Trip Planning functionality. If your company does not have both licenses, you will not see the image7 Trip Planning icon or the Trip Planning screens.

  • It must be licensed for and running SystemsLink 2018.3 or later.

When TruETA plans a trip, it suggests Rest Stops between stops. A rest stop is where you can park, take a break, or rest (including the 34-hour reset).

TruETA determines the number of rest stops and the distance between them based on your company’s setup, your Hours of Service, weather conditions, driving conditions, traffic, and other data.

Suggested rest stops appear on the Trip Planning screen.
