    I'd like to compile a top 20 list of any apps drivers use on a daily or weekly basis that are related to the industry, so any help or input would be greatly appreciated!

    Don't use a lot of Trucking Related Apps a lot.
    Occasionally use the Truckstop Apps (Loves TA Petro and PFJ)
    Cat Scale App, Blue Beacon App.
    Some of the State DOTs have Apps for Road Conditions.

    "my DAT TRUCKER SERVICES"
    (android)
    I get nearby loads, truckstops, scales, walmarts, rest areas, truck washes, the fuel prices are not very up to date but I still use it half of dozen times a day. I think its great. I also use "Fuel Log" daily

    Google Maps - For obvious reasons
    Truck Stops (Truxster) - Mobile version of truck stop pocket book.
    Truck and Travel (Allstays) If im having trouble finding a place to park far from interstate.
    CoPilot Live - In case i need to see routes that arnt on physical paper map and i have no data for Google Maps.
    myPilot (Pilot/Flying J)
    TruckSmart (TA/Petro)
    Love's
    CAT Scales
    Blue Beacon (to find truck wash)

    Google Maps is my number one. Truxster is like a mobile version of the Truck Stops pocket handbook. Ive also used it to call truck stops to verify if they have a truck wash.

    pilot, ta, loves apps i use to see if i have a shower, and to see what they have to eat so i can decide on breakfast. And to see if upcoming TAs have Taco Bell.

    CAT Scales and Blue Beacon i rarely use, but have used both.
