PermitNav turns your state oversize/overweight (OSOW) trucking permit into the exact permitted route — with turn-by-turn navigation built for heavy haul. Snap a photo or upload the PDF of your state permit and PermitNav reads the routing table and rebuilds the precise route across the roads your permit names — then guides you down it, turn by turn. WHY DRIVERS USE IT • Permit-to-route in seconds — no manually typing in every road. • Follows the permitted roads exactly, in the right direction, for the right distance. • Every turn is checked against your permit, so you know the route is right before you roll. • Low-clearance, weight, and width warnings on the roads ahead. • Voice-guided turn-by-turn, posted speed limits, and live speed. • Driver logbook: miles today, drive time, and time since your last break. • Crowd-sourced DOT/inspection alerts along your route. • Save routes, dark/light/auto themes, and standard car or truck GPS for everyday driving — free and unlimited. FREE + PAID • Free: unlimited standard car navigation. • Permit routing: a subscription (Starter, Standard, Pro, or Fleet) or a one-time permit credit.
