Navigate forecasts with confidence
Fleet route planning software with weather intelligence
With the Weather add-on, PC*Miler brings weather intelligence directly into your fleet routing software, flagging weather hazards and risks before departure. Carriers, 3PLs and shippers can protect margins, protect drivers and keep every lane on schedule across the US and Canada.
Precision beyond the radar
Consumer-grade apps and National Weather Service alerts lack the depth required to manage fleet operations. By integrating WeatherOptics’ proprietary AI models with Trimble’s foundational routing, our Weather Intelligence delivers a level of route-specific safety and commercial precision that generic applications simply can’t match.
Fleets can now plan routes around real-time weather risks
Price and plan with known weather hazards
Integrate time-aware weather into your TMS or load board via our robust APIs to identify rating and schedule impacts before departure.
Compare routes side-by-side
Use Alternate Route Reports to compare up to three paths at once, balancing safety, weather impact and operating costs before a load moves.
Protect drivers, margins and relationships
Use weather intelligence to improve OTIF (on-time, in-full) performance, justify schedule adjustments and eliminate service disputes before they start.
Weather Intelligence is more than a forecast
Strategic planning
Back-office insights
Our back-office tools transform your planning worksheet into a proactive command center. By layering seven-day predictive forecasting over your routing foundation, your team can address potential hazards while the truck is still in the yard.
- Optimize commercial routes with side-by-side path comparisons that evaluate weather severity against logistical factors like distance and toll trade-offs.
- Track fleet locations and weather in real-time with active monitoring and automated console alerts that flag approaching storms.
- Safeguard drivers and profitability using high-precision risk impact scores that go beyond basic precipitation to predict vehicle-specific hazards.
- Integrate anywhere via flexible APIs to bring commercial-grade weather intelligence into any third-party TMS, load board or custom internal tool.
Proactive execution
In-cab safety
Empower your drivers with commercial certainty. Integrated directly into Trimble CoPilot, our Weather Intelligence delivers real-time, route-specific alerts built specifically for the complexities of commercial transport. We provide the granular data drivers need to stay safe and stay on schedule.
- Leverage detailed trip summaries for granular insights into the specific road names, risk levels and duration of weather impacts along the entire journey.
- Monitor proprietary risk summaries for high-stakes road hazards, including vehicle tipping risks and minimum visibility thresholds.
- Receive proactive alerts via automated voice and text notifications, granting drivers the time needed to make safe, informed decisions before encountering hazards.
- Visualize hyperlocal forecasts mapped directly to the route, ensuring the office and the cab are always looking at the same source of truth.
Post-trip analysis
Accountability
Protect your service levels with an undeniable source of truth. When disruptive weather impacts your performance, you need objective data to protect your bottom line. Trimble RouteReporter captures on-road weather events, turning environmental data into a strategic business asset.
- Establish an undeniable source of truth by archiving historical weather events to factually dispute unfair OTIF charges.
- Justify weather-related delays with route-specific documentation that bridges the communication gap between carriers and shippers.
- Improve future safety protocols by identifying recurring risk patterns and using historical data to refine driver coaching and route planning.

Time-aware weather intelligence built for commercial fleets
- Understand weather on your driving route before you dispatch: Get time-aware weather data integrated directly into your TMS or load board via API, so weather along routes is visible at the planning stage, not discovered mid-transit.
- Identify rating and schedule impacts early: Flag weather hazards that affect transit time or pricing before departure, so quotes and schedules reflect real conditions from the start.
- Route around weather risk, not into it: Use weather intelligence to spot developing weather risk along a lane and adjust routing before it becomes a service failure.
Advanced weather risk and route planning comparison
- Alternate Route Reports: Compare up to three route options side-by-side, weighing safety, weather impact and operating costs against each other.
- OTIF performance you can defend: Use weather intelligence to justify schedule adjustments with data, protecting on-time-in-full performance and customer relationships when weather hazards disrupt a lane.
- Fewer disputes, more documentation: Back every weather-related delay with time-aware, route-specific weather data, eliminating the back-and-forth that comes from undocumented service disputes.
Why carriers, 3PLs and shippers need weather routing software
Carriers
Integrated weather updates mean fewer surprises on the road. Drivers and dispatch operate with the same weather hazard data, so everyone makes better decisions about delays or reroutes.
3PLs and brokers
Protect your OTIF scores and eliminate service disputes across every carrier you manage. PC*Miler Weather gives you accurate, route-specific data to justify schedule changes, making customer conversations about weather delays completely straightforward.
Shippers
Build weather intelligence into fleet routing without leaving your planning environment. Weather along routes and weather risk are factored in automatically, so every lane is priced and scheduled with real conditions in mind.
