    I accept that challenge. I don't believe charging users $250-$500 for a GPS or $50-$100 year for an app subscription is necessary to build a great service. We'd rather give our users everything for free and only earn money from advertising when drivers apply to jobs on our job board. The success of that free model on TruckersReport is why we have 1m+ users per month coming to the site and how we have the ability to develop the Hammer app.

    We're the new kids on the block, and out the gate we're not going to have all the features of a $250-$500 GPS unit or some of the paid apps, but we're going to steadily get better and have found a number of ways to improve on what's currently out there.

    We're expanding our beta testing program and would love to have more users who can give us feedback, particularly on the turn-by-turn navigation. Invitations are being sent to a random selection of the original survey respondents, but if you want to guarantee that you receive an invite this week, just fill out this short survey:
    We're creating a new tool for truck drivers. And we are interested in your opinions about it.

    I'm using it. I see some areas it can use improving. I use a gps for ETA and traffic. 402 mile trip, 14 hours?

    wow. I see an average 40 mph used for eta. yours is even less. the ability for driver adjust would be ideal.

    do send in the feedback through the app.

    Yes, that's a great example of a bug that needs to be fixed during beta, I'm sure we'll encounter many, many more. Please use the feedback tool in the app, your feedback will go to the development team so they work on this. Thanks!
     
    Bean Jr. and Dieselboss Thank this.

    @JLMooreKCMO Thanks! We need to manually add/upload everyone who applied to the beta, so expect an email with download info on Monday.
