What is NSRoute?
NSRoute is a free AI-powered truck route planner designed for European HGV transport. It calculates toll costs, fuel expenses, driving bans and oversized cargo permits across 37 countries. Unlike consumer navigation apps, NSRoute understands vehicle dimensions, axle loads, ADR restrictions and country-specific regulations that affect commercial trucks every day.

NSRoute vs Google Maps
Google Maps does not differentiate between a car and a 40-tonne truck. It ignores bridge weight limits, tunnel height restrictions, weekend driving bans and toll costs that vary by emission class and axle count. NSRoute was built specifically for freight forwarders, fleet managers and truck drivers who need accurate cost calculations before every trip. Where Google Maps gives you a route, NSRoute gives you a business decision.

About NSRoute
Built by NoStressStudio — a team with over 15 years of hands-on experience in European freight forwarding, oversized cargo logistics and transport technology.
NSRoute was created to solve a real problem: existing navigation tools ignore truck-specific restrictions, leaving drivers and freight forwarders to guess toll costs, risk driving ban violations, and manually calculate oversized cargo permits across dozens of countries.
We combine deep domain expertise in logistics with AI and modern software engineering to build tools that save time, reduce errors and help transport professionals make better decisions — before the truck moves.
