Service Route Optimizer Guide

The Service Route Optimizer helps plan efficient daily routes for septic pump trucks to minimize fuel costs and maximize daily job capacity.


How to use it:

  • Enter the service addresses for the day
  • Set your starting location and disposal facility address
  • Enter estimated service time at each stop
  • Enter your truck tank capacity
  • Click Optimize to generate the most efficient route

  • Optimization strategies:

  • Zone scheduling: Assign geographic zones to specific days of the week
  • Capacity planning: Plan disposal runs around truck capacity
  • Time windows: Account for customer-requested time slots
  • Disposal proximity: Factor in treatment plant location and hours

  • Typical savings: 15-25% reduction in fuel costs and 1-2 additional stops per day per truck. For a 3-truck fleet, this can mean $15,000-$30,000 in annual fuel savings.
