Once the companies have identified a route that they think is an option, they have a detailed route study drawn up in which everything that could be relevant is described, from vehicle dimensions to the course of the route, bottlenecks and obstacles. You have to submit this in order to hope for approval. Or better: a test permit. If this is available, the logisticians can test the route with vehicles whose axle loads and dimensions are close to the actual transport. Only when all this has been successfully completed will the transport be approved. “Then it’s just a matter of hoping that everything really turns out exactly as planned,” says Schgeiner. “The trickiest point is often the prescribed breaks along the way.”
