Understanding Routing Restriction Setup

You can define routing restrictions such as maximum size, weight, and volume, maximum number of stops, and maximum number of piece restrictions for a route. You must use these criteria to define restrictions for a route:

• Mode of transport

• Carrier

• Mode of transport and carrier

The system selects a route for a shipment or load only if it meets the restrictions that you specify. For example, if the road to a destination has a bridge with a maximum weight limit, you must define a maximum weight for the vehicle going to that destination so that the system selects a route that does not violate the restriction.
