Route Heavy Vehicles Safely and Legally, on Every Load
Freight routing is far more than the shortest path on a map. Vehicle size, load weight, permits, road access and whether a truck is loaded or empty all change the route. M2X plans on New Zealand's real regulatory road network - so every trip is safe, compliant and efficient from the outset.

Standard mapping tools weren't built for freight
Consumer-grade maps assume every vehicle is the same size and every road is equally accessible. For heavy vehicles that need permits or face weight, height and local restrictions, that’s a costly assumption - generic routing can send a truck over a weight-restricted bridge or down a road it was never legal to use. M2X starts from a purpose-built model of freight-legal roads instead.
Legal routes across a shifting patchwork of rules
M2X matches each truck’s specifications, height, weight, axle configuration and length, along with the geospatial information taken directly from New Zealand's permits and the regulatory networks. M2X keeps that patchwork current with frequent data updates, so routes are always viable, legal and up to date.
Routes that adapt to the truck's current load
A road that’s open to an empty truck can be restricted once it’s fully loaded. M2X adjusts routes accounting for bridge limits, incline speed limits and weight-dependent access. In industries like dairy and fuels, where volume shifts throughout the trip, planners can send trucks on compliant routes at every stage.
Keep every truck on the safest possible route
Safety is the single most important outcome of good routing. Keeping heavy vehicles on roads suited to their size and weight protects your drivers, other road users and the freight itself.
On top of the regulatory network, M2X can also apply routing preferences tailored to individual requirements. And because safe, compliant routing is built into both the plan and the in-cab navigation, drivers can manage their own compliance without thinking about it, freeing them to concentrate on the rest of the job.
Take the risk out of staying compliant
Incorrect routing has financial consequences: forced detours, heavy fines for unauthorized road use, and the substantial liabilities associated with infrastructure damage can far exceed the baseline penalty. Compliance is genuinely hard when the network changes constantly and drivers run different combinations every day. M2X considers the regulatory road network on every trip and builds the rules into each plan - so trips are planned to comply from the outset.
Realistic ETAs and less time lost on the road
The M2X route optimiser goes beyond compliance. It evaluates routes against distance and travel time as well as time windows, site access constraints, vehicle capabilities, current load status and regulatory requirements. The result is realistic ETAs and a plan that is both efficient and legal - fewer delays, less backtracking and lower fuel use.
“M2X is very efficient. It’s makes our runs better, let’s the drivers know where their going and allows us to fill our trucks more.”
“We are dispatching trucks more efficiently and better than what we were in the past.”
“M2X has offered us a more compliant operating system.”
