Overview

A long-haul trip is a series of legal driving windows separated by resets. Truck Mode plans the whole sequence instead of the next turn.

Multi-day sequencing

When a lane exceeds one driving window, the planner splits it into legal days and places each overnight reset at a real stop on the route.

Corridor weather

Weather is sampled along the corridor, so a winter event several hundred miles ahead appears in the plan before it becomes a windshield problem.

Fuel across the trip

Tank range and total distance determine how many refuels the lane needs and roughly where they fall.

Rest quality

Showers, food and secured parking are treated as stop attributes because they determine whether a reset is actually restful.

QUESTIONS

Direct answers

Does Truck Mode handle multi-day trips?

Yes. Trips longer than one driving window are split into legal days with overnight resets placed on the route.

How far ahead is weather checked?

Weather is sampled at points along the entire planned route, not only at the origin and destination.
