## Description

Most fleet managers spend their day jumping between different tabs to check bridge clearances, look up toll rates, and manually calculate how many miles were spent in each state just to satisfy fuel tax requirements. It is a mess of copy-pasting that leads to errors and wasted fuel. This Connector changes that by letting you tell your agent exactly what your truck looks like and where it needs to go. It handles the heavy lifting of finding a path that actually fits a 13-foot trailer or a specific weight limit while avoiding restricted roads. You can ask for a clear breakdown of how much each state contributes to your fuel tax reports or get a precise picture of where a truck can actually get within an hour of a warehouse. This Connector connects directly to the Trimble PC*MILER logistics infrastructure, making it a core part of your transportation stack. When you pull this into the Vinkius catalog, your agent stops guessing and starts using the same data your fleet relies on every day. It moves the needle from best guess routing to actual, truck-compliant logistics. Instead of fighting with navigation software, you get a complete route that respects your vehicle's size, along with a full breakdown of tolls and state mileage in one go.

## Tools

### route_avoiding_roads
Finds a path that stays off specific roads or expressways. It helps you stay on compliant routes for specific clients.

### calculate_driving_isochrone
Shows the area reachable within a specific time limit from a center point. Use this to see your delivery radius.

### calculate_matrix_routing
Calculates travel times and distances between multiple origin and destination points. This is great for multi-stop planning.

### calculate_state_mileage
Gets a breakdown of mileage by state or province for any given route. This is perfect for automating fuel tax reports.

### calculate_trip_tolls
Provides total toll costs in USD, split by cash and electronic fees. Use this to get exact transit budgets.

### calculate_truck_route
Finds a truck-compliant route between stops using Trimble PC*MILER data. It respects all heavy machinery requirements.

### get_truck_directions
Provides turn-by-turn directions that account for bridge heights and HazMat limits. It gives your driver clear, safe instructions.

### route_by_vehicle_size
Calculates a route based on specific truck height and weight limits. This ensures your vehicle can actually clear every bridge.

### search_trimble_address
Finds commercial locations and addresses within the Trimble database. It is much more accurate for industrial sites.

### reverse_geocode
Turns a set of coordinates into the nearest commercial address. This helps clean up raw GPS data into usable locations.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Can you find a route for a truck that's 13 feet tall from Chicago to Denver while avoiding highways?
```

**Response:** 
```
I have mapped out a truck-compliant route from Chicago to Denver that stays under your 13-foot height limit. 

**Route Summary:**
- **Total Distance:** 1,042 miles
- **Estimated Time:** 17 hours 45 minutes
- **Key Constraints:** Avoids all restricted expressways and low-clearance bridges.

Would you like me to break down the toll costs for this specific path?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will it cost in tolls to drive a semi from LA to San Francisco, and what's the breakdown for electronic vs cash?
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is the toll breakdown for the LA to San Francisco route:

| Toll Type | Estimated Cost |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Electronic** | $24.50 |
| **Cash** | $12.00 |
| **Total** | **$36.50** |

*Note: These estimates are based on current industrial toll data for heavy vehicles.*
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a mileage breakdown by state for a route starting in New York and ending in Atlanta.
```

**Response:** 
```
I have calculated the state-by-state mileage for your New York to Atlanta route:

- **New York:** 142 miles
- **Pennsylvania:** 310 miles
- **West Virginia:** 185 miles
- **Virginia:** 210 miles
- **Georgia:** 95 miles

**Total Route Mileage:** 942 miles
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate truck-safe routes
Find paths that respect specific vehicle height and weight limits.

### Break down toll costs
Get a mathematical split of cash and electronic toll fees in USD.

### Generate state mileage reports
Automatically calculate mileage spent in each state for fuel tax filing.

### Map reachable areas
Visualize where a truck can travel within a specific time limit.

### Find commercial addresses
Search for precise commercial locations in the Trimble database.

### Avoid restricted roads
Force the agent to bypass specific roads or expressways entirely.

## Use Cases

### Checking bridge clearances for a tall load
A manager needs to know if a 13-foot trailer can make it through a specific city. They ask the agent to use get_truck_directions to check for bridge heights and HazMat restrictions.

### Plotting a multi-stop freight matrix
A data scientist needs to calculate the distance between 50 different warehouses. They use calculate_matrix_routing to get a full distance and time matrix in one go.

### Visualizing delivery reach
A dispatcher needs to see how far a driver can go in 90 minutes from a hub. They use calculate_driving_isochrone to see the reachable area.

### Avoiding expensive toll roads
An analyst needs to avoid certain toll roads for a specific client. They use route_avoiding_roads to find a compliant path that stays on public roads.

## Benefits

- Stop worrying about bridge strikes by using route_by_vehicle_size to factor in actual truck height and weight.
- Save on overhead by getting exact toll breakdowns with calculate_trip_tolls for every single haul.
- Simplify IFTA filing by pulling state-by-state mileage automatically with calculate_state_mileage.
- See the full picture of your delivery reach using calculate_driving_isochrone to map out time boundaries.
- Eliminate manual data entry for commercial locations by using search_trimble_address for high-accuracy geocoding.
- Ensure safety on every run by using get_truck_directions to account for HazMat and weight restrictions.

## How It Works

The bottom line is it turns your AI into a logistics expert that understands truck-specific constraints.

1. Add this connector to your Vinkius dashboard.
2. Input your certified Trimble Developer API Key.
3. Ask your agent to map routes or check tolls.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does the Trimble MCP handle heavy truck dimensions?**
Yes, it allows your agent to factor in specific height and weight limits to find safe routes that avoid low bridges or weight-restricted roads.

**Can I use the Trimble MCP to calculate toll costs?**
It provides a breakdown of both cash and electronic toll fees in USD for your specific route, helping you keep your transit budgets accurate.

**How does the Trimble MCP help with fuel tax reporting?**
It can calculate the exact mileage spent in each state, which is essential for automating your IFTA summaries and fuel tax filing.

**Can the Trimble MCP find commercial addresses?**
Yes, it searches the Trimble database specifically for commercial locations and addresses, which is much more accurate for industrial sites than standard maps.

**Can I see how far a truck can go in a certain amount of time?**
You can request an isochrone boundary to see the reachable area within a specific time limit, which helps in planning delivery windows.

**Does the Trimble MCP avoid restricted roads?**
Yes, you can tell your agent to stay off specific roads or expressways entirely, ensuring your fleet stays on compliant paths.

**Where do I recover the operational Trimble API Key?**
Navigate smoothly into your authorized corporate sphere residing on the `developer.trimble.com` suite. Look closely at the primary headers locating your Applications or API Access portal hub. Designate a new instance or inspect an existing module tied to Mapping/PC*MILER bounds, copy the immutable token securely generated, and inject it flawlessly right below.

**Will `route_avoiding_roads` block major US interstates dynamically?**
Yes. This precise endpoint takes an array/string argument of roads to systematically avoid. Instruct the agent to evade specific highways, and Trimble's underlying algorithm recalculates the mathematical vectors completely rendering a path rejecting that specific asphalt footprint unconditionally.

**What is the lifespan of my Trimble API access token?**
Trimble access tokens obtained via OAuth generally have a short lifespan, typically expiring after 60 minutes. Your Connector integration handles this internally by automatically renewing it using refresh processes when necessary, so no manual intervention is required.
