Dat trucker will tell you any truck stop, Wal-Mart, rest areas, washes, motels, repairs. Within a 150 mile radius. I don't have the app anymore since I'm local. I can't remember the rest.
Truckerpath.
WeatherBug
Copilot for Gps.

I use Google maps, but since they cost me my last job I am a little ticked off at them. Recently I have started to use Waze again. They have updated since it first came out, which was when I used it before but Google was far superior. Now, not near as much, and you get fairly accurate warnings of events going on ahead of you.
In heavy traffic it's hard to beat Google maps. It is usually spot on in regards to traffic conditions ahead of you. -
Truckerpath - finnds everything i need and tells me what scales r open
Drivewyze - get me past most of the scales
KeepTrucking - Logs
IheartRadio - beats the hell out of Sirus Radio
Pilot- fuel and go - i don't walk inside ( When i use Pilots)
Waze - so i know whats ahead of me
Google maps- to find quick stuff, verify an address and to "see" what the place looks like
and of course i also have Speedway, Wendys, and a few other fuel stop apps, all for savings.
I honestly don't remember how i did this crap 5 years ago LOLVIDEODROME Thanks this. -
I've had to adjust the settings a few times regarding tolls, otherwise it would have had me running hundreds of miles beyond what's necessary (for instance going through Wisconsin to get to the Upper Peninsula, starting in Ohio). A little common sense is required, but if you have none, shell out the hundreds for a Garmin DEZL w/DashCam. -

I'd like to know how good smarttruckroute works without a signal.

That said, there are times when Google Maps will route a truck more effectively than a trucker GPS that's "over-thinking" the situation. The key is having sufficient common sense and spidey sense to know when and where.
Bottom line is - no truck GPS is flawless all the time. They too can route you both illegally, as well as stupid wrong and inefficiently. And to act like a trucke GPS is the end-all, be-all and not to be questioned is going to be a costly mistake, too at some point.Last edited: Aug 24, 2017
