Farelanes with MileMaker by Rand McNally

Precision Routing for Modern Logistics

Farelanes 3.0 introduces a major leap forward in routing intelligence with the full integration of Rand McNally’s MileMaker engine — the industry standard for commercial mileage, compliance, and truck‑specific routing. This partnership brings unprecedented accuracy, operational clarity, and strategic insight to every shipment planned through Farelanes.

Precision Routing & Mileage You Can Trust

  • MileMaker enhances Farelanes with highly granular, commercially validated routing data. Users can now plan with confidence using:
  • Door‑to‑door routing via SPLC, ZIP code, latitude/longitude, or full street address
  • Truck‑specific routing based on vehicle dimensions, weight, and legal restrictions
  • Multi‑route comparisons to evaluate shortest, fastest, or most cost‑efficient paths
  • Custom midpoints and avoidances for total control over routing decisions

This level of precision ensures every mile is accurate, compliant, and optimized for real‑world conditions.

Real‑Time Optimization for Smarter Decisions

  • Farelanes now layers MileMaker’s routing intelligence with dynamic, real‑time data:
  • Live traffic overlays to avoid congestion and delays
  • Weather‑aware routing for safer, more predictable travel
  • Toll cost calculations, including transponder‑specific discounts
  • HAZMAT and clearance‑aware routing to maintain regulatory compliance

The result is a routing engine that adapts instantly to changing conditions — keeping loads on schedule and drivers safe.

Operational Intelligence at Scale

Beyond routing, MileMaker strengthens Farelanes’ analytical and planning capabilities:

  • Accurate commercial mileage for rate negotiations and fuel surcharge forecasting
  • Excel batch processing for high‑volume route planning
  • Seamless API integration with the Farelanes backend
  • Full North American coverage across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico

This empowers dispatchers, planners, and analysts with the data they need to make informed, profitable decisions.

Strategic Benefits for Every Fleet

The combined power of Farelanes 3.0 and MileMaker delivers measurable improvements across operations:

  • Reduced fuel costs and emissions through optimized routing
  • More accurate ETAs and improved delivery reliability
  • Streamlined dispatch workflows and faster load planning
  • Enhanced safety, especially for specialized or regulated cargo

Whether you’re managing a regional fleet or a national network, this integration elevates routing from a basic function to a strategic advantage.

A New Standard for Routing Intelligence

With MileMaker now embedded directly into Farelanes 3.0, logistics teams gain a smarter, more reliable, and more efficient routing engine — built for the realities of modern freight.

This is routing done right: precise, compliant, data‑driven, and ready for scale.
