The shortest is not the best in all the cases. If there is no traffic, there are no rides to share. Think where the trucks are going: industrial areas, ports/airports etc.
The fastest and easiest routes are usually ones between two major cities, passing a lot of countryside on the way. If you're planning to go through an area with dense population (eg. [[Ruhr Area]], [[Randstad]], [[London|Southeast England]]) and out the other side, then remember that many vehicles will be local traffic, so it's often a good idea to find a route that avoids these areas. E.g. when going to the the South of [[France]] from the [[Netherlands]], you better avoid [[Paris]]: go through [[Luxemburg]] instead.
Avoid trying to get lifts along routes that don't make sense to the drivers. It's rare that a driver, travelling north on a motorway, will soon turn round and travel southeast for a long distance.
