SKOKIE, IL – Rand McNally’s new IntelliRoute Dock2Dock solution is the first in the commercial transportation industry to provide truck-attributed dock-to-dock navigation on city and inter-neighborhood streets, the company said.

Rand McNally’s proprietary commercial transportation navigation and digital mapping technology has been enhanced with datasets from NAVTEQ, a leader in premium-quality digital map data. The solution equips carriers and shippers with GPS-accurate, truck-specific routing that allows Class 8, and longer combination vehicles (LCVs) to route from the origin’s dock to the destination’s dock.

In light of rising fuel costs, IntelliRoute Dock2Dock software provides precise routing technology to minimize “out-of-route” miles and maximize fuel efficiency, leading to increased productivity and profit.

Rand McNally’s team of GIS professionals has augmented and enhanced its proprietary transportation data with NAVTEQ Transport data to create the most reliable, comprehensive and complete address-to-address mapping and routes. The IntelliRoute Dock2Dock routing solution will include more than 6.5 million miles of U.S. truck-attributed roads, with more than 23 million links that contain unique truck attributes.

The new product will be available as an online download for existing IntelliRoute customers beginning in October 2008. The IntelliRoute Dock2Dock solution easily integrates with other logistics packages using an application program interface. Companies interested in the product should call Rand McNally’s Commercial Transportation division at (800) 234-4069.
