They tend to zig or zag every 50km or so... it's not set in stone yet but I've noticed that trend....

Also need to keep in mind your initial position relative to the convoy. Generally if they're 8 hours away or more you'll burn too much fuel in order to intercept them, let alone get ahead of them. If you look at the map there's a few major intersection points of several convoy routes that you can just cruise around wait for an inbound one to finally show up. Other way is to travel the route backwards slowly and hope that it is in front of you.
Chasing after a convoy is tough and usually burns a lot of fuel; though tougher its ideal to be in front of the convoy when its reported which gives you plenty of time to plot out its probable course and lie in wait. Convoys do zigzag, but pay close attention to the map, its your best tool as most convoy routes are not linear.
