1. A method for managing haul routes in work environments, comprising:

  • collecting performance data associated with a machine during a haul route run in a work environment;

    monitoring a route completion time associated with the machine;

    comparing the route completion time with a threshold completion time;

    selecting, if the route completion time exceeds the threshold completion time, a first payload level for the machine;

    simulating operation of the machine based on the first payload level to generate a simulated route completion time of the machine; and

    establishing a payload limit of the machine as the first payload level if the simulated route completion time does not exceed the threshold completion time.
