    Truckster (although I usually use my paper truck stop book).

    Google Maps to see shipper and receiver in detail.

    Copilot for when no data is available.

    I'll also add TruckSmart and Love’s app to see if I have a shower available. I wish pilot would add the rewards feature to their app as well.

    Trucksmart. TA/Petro's app. Its acualy been pretty handy. Grab your shower while you park so by the time you get inside the shower is ready. Also if you forget your card in the truck you can always pull your card up on the app.

    Thats the only true truck app that I use. besides xata's loging app. I have several other apps that I use all the time. If I had to pick just one, I would say the barcode scanner. Love that thing for places like walmart and bestbuy. It has saved me hundreds of dollars. You scan the barcode and it finds the best price which is usualy lower then the listed price so you save tons of money.

    mydat trucker services. lists walmarts, and rest areas. and scales and washes, besides truckstops and fuel prices.

    google nav for navigation to those places listed above.

    droidtruckersstops. shows ALL the big chain truckstops along with dot scales that aren't listed in the atlas.

    google maps, for when i want to figure out the miles on my dispatch on the fly. and see places like walmarts and such to see if i can get in there.

    copilot, just in case.

    weatherbug app for snow and rain

    the websight truckermiles.com. to verify my routing with my pcmiler gps. much quicker method then thumbing through the state maps in the atlas.

    a rooted android phone for free internet wifi to my laptop.
