Travel networks issue with offsets.

Sometimes the objects in my model follow the travel networks and sometimes it skips it. For example the truck will travel along the network then start traveling across the middle of the model. All of them are set to do travel offsets for load/unload tasks and to use the detault network navigator.

I would like for it to always follow the assigned network.

@Kari Payton

The captured model looks like not using flexsim? Which simulator did you make it by?

Where is the truck in your screenshot travelling to? It looks like it wants to load the little spherical flow item there. Could it be that its destination (which is usually the flow item's container object, e.g. a queue or rack) is not linked to the network, so that the truck just offset travels from the current node? In that case A-connecting the container object to the node that you do want to offset travel from could help; or perhaps you don't need offset travel at all and you can disable it.

@Mischa Spelt yeah I went back and checked what you said. What was happening is in the flow I didn't have the right reference to the truck to travel before loading/unloading and I set it to not offset. That fixed it. Thanks...
