I use it. It's pretty good.

I like it.

Make sure, when looking for a truck stop. The truck stop is actually there. Also, their satellite map is very old (use google earth instead)
Sneakerfix Thanks this. -
Works great I use it to plan my trips and find walmmarts to shop can't stand truck stop food vary unhealthy
northstarfire0693 and Dominick253 Thank this. -
Loaded it, looked at it, deleted it ...I have fuelbook, truckers tools and DAT ... compared to those 3, I found it rather clunky. ... but then it could be just that I'm used to those and I didn't want to figure out a new app - which if it is intuitive enough that shouldn't be an issue.

I tried DAT, but don't like the way the zip codes list. I don't always know the zip code nearest to where I'll be. I enjoy Trucker Path, not perfect, but works good. Also I like to ease of reading and writing reviews for a stop. However the biggest issue is a-hole drivers clicking that the lots are full when half the lot is still empty. I think it's drivers that are on the way and don't want others going there.
drvrtech77 and Sneakerfix Thank this. -
there maps suck and alot of times whether scale is open or closed is inaccurate

Usually I use the "truck stops on your current route" feature on my GPS. Then I'll find the one that's close to how far I plan on driving to. I then can go to the Trucker Path app to see the reviews and how much parking that stop has. So if it's a stop with 90 or less spots and I know it'll be 7 or so when I get there I'll usually see what other stops are near there since it'll probably fill up. Then when I get close I'll check the available parking feature, and to try and be a thoughtful driver I'll update the parking when i get there. It's a lot of trouble, but for one it's peace of mind to me to know I'm not just driving until I have to stop and hope parking is near by, but also with the limited parking now I try to plan ahead.

I use it in conjunction with other routing apps. No complaints from me, it is free.
