Low altitude route help?

If the shipper/receiver/company are so concerned about it, why don't they send you a proper route to follow in the first place?

 

Wow I learned something new on this thread. I never thought a load chips or anything aerosol can be affected by elevation. Good stuff!

 

Off the subject, but I ruined several shirts because of having the wrong pen while flying. I stopped using them and switched to a simple #2 pencil.

 

I worked for a contract packer that was making an air freshener product for a mega-size company. It took a while for their engineers to come up with the exact container dimensions that would allow the product to be shipped across the higher elevation mountain passes. Until that time I would never have thought about that being an issue.

 

I've hauled chips over Eisenhower and Vail Pass and never had any explode (that I'm aware of).

 

The longest load I've ever had was a low altitude load from Miami to Portland OR, with a stop in CA. It was a little over 3300mi.

 

Truckrouter is a great tool… Enter your starting point and destination it will route you and give you elevations among other things
