    I just used Trucker Path. It incorporates Google Traffic into an app that shows you almost every truck stop everywhere, plus gives you parking info about almost all of them. You don't need to pay for the subscription ever for those features. DO NOT USE IT FOR TRUCK ROUTING UNLESS YOU PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION. The free routing on Trucker Path doesn't account for large trucks.

    Waze also tells you where the cops are SOMETIMES. But nothing truck-specific.

    Google used to be great. Now it sucks. It's really gone downhill IMO. I never get a warning of trouble ahead until I'm a mile or 2 from it.
