The worst part of logistics planning? The endless tabs.
Today, building a compliant route means opening five different state DOT websites. You pull up one map for weight limits, another for bridge clearances, and yet another just to check rest areas. Copy-pasting coordinates between these sites is tedious, slow, and guarantees you'll miss something critical.
With this MCP server, the process changes completely. You tell your agent the route, and it runs all those checks—weight limits via `get_weight_restrictions`, clearances via `get_bridge_clearances`, and incidents via `get_truck_incidents`—in a single query. The answer is clean, structured, and legally sound.
Road511 Trucking MCP Server: Know the full operational status.
Before running any route plan, you have to check if the data itself is reliable. Do all these systems even report the same thing? You're wasting time making decisions based on stale or missing information—that's a huge risk.
The `get_trucking_health` tool solves this immediately. It tells your agent whether the API is actually live, if the data sources are connected across all 65 jurisdictions, and when that data was last updated. You build confidence into your planning process.
What your AI can actually do with this
You connect your AI agent to the Road511 Trucking MCP Server. This server gives you full control over North American freight logistics—route planning, weight compliance, and incident tracking across US and Canada.
The system pulls data from massive databases covering dozens of jurisdictions. You don't have to visit multiple state websites or manually check every regulation; the agent handles it all with one query.
Route Mapping and Compliance Checks:
To start a trip, you use get_truck_routes to map official STAA truck routes and NHFN freight corridors across states and provinces. For compliance, you run two checks: first, get_bridge_clearances retrieves bridge location data and vertical clearance heights needed for planning height-restricted transport; second, get_weight_restrictions reports temporary or permanent load restrictions, specifying affected roads, maximum weights, and effective dates.
For weigh stations, you call get_weigh_stations, which lists operational weight inspection sites, telling you their status (open or closed) and whether they participate in the bypass program. The agent also runs a quick summary check using get_trucking_summary to give you count statistics on routes, weigh stations, incidents, and stops so you know exactly how much data coverage you're working with.
Live Safety and Incident Tracking:
Safety planning requires real-time data. You use get_truck_incidents to list current traffic disruptions, construction closures, and accidents affecting planned truck routes by specific location. For necessary downtime, you check for available parking spots using get_truck_parking, which provides facility locations, capacity details, and real-time availability crucial for Hours of Service (HOS) planning.
You find driver amenities with two tools: first, get_rest_areas locates facilities along major highways, listing amenities and operating hours needed for HOS compliance; second, get_truck_stops pinpoints travel plazas and rest stops, showing services like fuel, food, showers, and repair facilities.
System Status:
You can always check the system's health using get_trucking_health, which reports data source connectivity and last update times across all jurisdictions, letting you know if the data is current. Every piece of information—from the required clearances for a low bridge to the real-time availability at a truck park—is available through your agent.
This server acts like a dedicated logistics analyst sitting right next to you. You tell it the route; the system checks compliance across every necessary constraint, from load limits to active traffic hazards.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that your AI uses these tools to synthesize complex, multi-layered logistical rules into simple, actionable answers.
Subscribe to the server and input your Road511 API key.
Ask your AI client a question like: 'What are the weight restrictions on I-94 through Minnesota?'
The agent calls get_weight_restrictions and presents you with the current compliance data.
Who is this actually for?
This server is for dispatchers and logistics planners who spend too much time manually cross-referencing state DOT websites. It's also crucial for owner-operators needing instant compliance checks before hitting the road. If your job involves moving cargo across multiple state lines, you need this.
Uses get_bridge_clearances and get_truck_routes to plan compliant routes for the day, ensuring every vehicle fits through low spots.
Analyzes data from get_trucking_summary and get_weight_restrictions across multiple regions to optimize freight corridors and minimize risk exposure.
Checks for local risks using get_weigh_stations or get_truck_incidents before leaving the yard, ensuring compliance with local rules.
What Changes When You Connect
Avoid costly fines. By running get_weight_restrictions and cross-referencing it with your load profile, you confirm compliance before leaving the yard. You don't guess; you check.
Stop worrying about low bridges. The get_bridge_clearances tool gives exact vertical measurements for any route segment, so you know if your vehicle fits under that I-95 overpass.
Optimize stops and rest time. Use get_truck_parking to find spots with actual capacity data, preventing delays when a full lot forces an unplanned overnight stop.
React instantly to trouble. When something changes—a closure or accident—the get_truck_incidents tool gives you real-time detour info, bypassing the need to call dispatch manually.
See the whole picture at once. Running get_trucking_summary gives a quick data quality check across all 65 jurisdictions, so you know if your route planning inputs are reliable.
See it in action
The Dispatcher needs to build a multi-state run.
A dispatcher is sending a load through Illinois and Indiana. They use the agent to first call get_truck_routes for the primary path, then immediately check get_weight_restrictions for any seasonal limits in those states. Finally, they hit get_bridge_clearances to confirm every single low bridge along that route clears their specialized trailer height.
The Owner-Operator needs a last-minute stop.
A driver is running low on fuel near Eugene and needs a place to rest. They ask the agent using get_truck_stops and then filter by available parking with get_truck_parking. The agent provides multiple options, including real-time space counts, solving both fueling and HOS concerns simultaneously.
Planning a critical delivery during bad weather.
A logistics manager needs to know the safest way for a time-sensitive shipment. They query get_truck_incidents first to see if there are closures or delays on I-80, and then use get_weigh_stations to plan around any temporary mandatory stops before the delivery window closes.
Checking compliance for a new route.
A planner is mapping out a freight corridor across Texas. They run the agent against get_truck_routes and then use get_weight_restrictions. The system returns specific data showing if certain county roads have permanent weight limits that would invalidate the proposed path.
The honest tradeoffs
Checking clearances manually
Calling 5 different state DOT websites, pulling up maps for every mile marker, and trying to find a specific bridge ID. It takes hours and is prone to human error.
Just ask the agent: 'What are the low bridges under 14 feet on I-95 through Virginia?' The tool calls get_bridge_clearances once and gives you all results.
Assuming road status
Relying only on Google Maps for a route plan. These maps don't show active weight violations, seasonal closures, or mandatory weigh station stops.
Always check get_truck_incidents and cross-reference with get_weight_restrictions. This combination ensures your map data is legally actionable.
Only focusing on major routes
Planning a route using only the main interstate highways, but missing smaller feeder roads that might have weight or height limits.
Use get_truck_routes to define the primary corridors, then use get_weight_restrictions and get_bridge_clearances to validate every segment along those designated paths.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
You should use this server if your core problem is compliance risk. Specifically, if you need to know 'Can a truck with X dimensions/weight travel from Point A to Point B on Date C?' If your needs are only for general mapping or simple traffic updates (like just finding the nearest gas station), this tool set might be overkill. For those cases, a standard map service is fine. However, if you need data points like specific STAA corridors, real-time HOS parking availability (get_truck_parking), or official regulatory limitations (get_weight_restrictions), then this server is necessary. Use get_trucking_summary first to check the overall data quality before running any complex route calculation.
