PermitPass turns your TxDOT OS/OW permit into easy, in-cab guidance along the exact TxPROS permitted corridor. Import the permit PDF or scan its QR code, and the official routed path loads in seconds. Review everything before you roll, then start navigation right at the permit route start and stay on the legal corridor. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Load your permit by QR code or PDF in seconds • Follow the exact TxPROS route TxDOT issued for your load • Review the full route first: map, waypoints, distances, and permit details • Keep your hands on the wheel while maneuvers advance automatically as you drive the permitted route • See live distance to your next maneuver and how much of the trip is left • Open the full maneuver list at any time • See advisories along your route, including clearance heads-ups, DriveTexas road events, and weigh-station locations • Start at the permit start: PermitPass guides the permitted route once you're loaded and ready • Find pilot car operators across Texas using the Pilot Car Directory • Search by city or area, browse Map or List view, and contact operators directly • Pilot car operators can create and manage their own directory listing • Run it on iPhone or iPad, with layouts built for portrait and landscape • Clean, high-contrast display that's easy to read in the cab, day or night BUILT ON ONE PRINCIPLE The official permit is the authority. PermitPass doesn't invent routes or send you off the permitted path. It makes the route TxDOT already issued simple to follow. WHO IT'S FOR Owner-operators, heavy-haul, escort and pilot-car operators, and dispatchers moving oversize/overweight loads in Texas. IMPORTANT The official TxDOT permit remains the legal authority. PermitPass assists you, but it does not replace the permit. You are responsible for driving safely and following all laws and the terms of your permit.

About

RouteAll

Features
Read full description

RouteAll turns your oversize or overweight permit into a route you can drive. Upload the permit PDF your state issued. RouteAll reads the permit number, the dimensions, the weights, the validity dates and — the part that matters — the specific highways the permit requires you to stay on. Then it navigates that exact corridor, turn by turn, and warns you the moment you leave it. No transcribing a turn list into a consumer GPS that has never heard of your load. WHAT IT DOES • Reads state-issued oversize and overweight permits from a PDF or a photo • Extracts dimensions, weights, validity dates and the mandated road chain • Shows every field it read, with a confidence mark, so you approve before you drive • Turn-by-turn guidance along the permitted route • Spoken warning the moment you leave the permitted corridor • Works through dead zones — the route lives on your device • Says so plainly when GPS is lost, instead of showing a frozen position • Share a route with your pilot cars — viewing is free, forever BUILT FOR THE CAB Alerts are spoken in the language your phone is set to: English, Spanish, Punjabi, Russian, Ukrainian and Somali. A warning you cannot understand is a warning that did not happen. FREE TO TRY Three permit scans when you sign up, plus one every month. No card required. Escort and pilot-car drivers can view a shared route free, forever, with no subscription. IMPORTANT RouteAll does not issue permits and does not guarantee compliance. It reads the permit you already hold and helps you follow it. Always check the extracted details against the permit document itself before you drive.
