The routes are semi-scripted. The appearance of the convoys along them are randomized. There is no penalty for going exploring once your 24 hours in the assigned grid are completed, but I stay in the grid for the whole patrol anyway, unless I get a report of a convoy close by. I try to be realistic by getting less tonnage, not more; but that's just me. I use a mod that removes almost all the contacts from the map - only the large convoys are reported, and then only occasionally.
