    Also, the mobile app, Trucker path is another good one. It is a map to guide driver as to where all weight stations and fuel stops and miles between stops using pro-miles. awesome app for the info challenged...lol Big Country

    I mostly use the truck stop apps to keep track of shower credits etc, weather to check the hourly weather where I am and if I need to idle when i shut down for the night and if so when I can shut it off, I only idle if its above 80 and im trying to sleep so if it shows it will be 70 by the time im going to sleep the truck doesnt run...

    I also rely on Google maps with satellite view just to see the place im going to, the streets around it and how the docks look etc.

    For the scanning apps just make sure your company uses them, I know mine doesnt, they want us using transflo at the truck stops or kiosk in terminals.
