    You do realize Waze is owned and run by Google??
    And Waze is user generated. So it solely depends on the input of other waze users
    like truckerpath

    I use the catscale app and have been using Trucker Path.. but I recentely found another app called Trucker District which allows you to do all the things Trucker Path offers and more. I'm really enjoying it I recommend this app

    Also I didn't like that Trucker Path were charging for some of the features on their app.. how long before basic features will not be free?

    Looking at the reviews I saw Woody one of the so called trucker district ambassadors reviewed it three times... 5 stars.

    Does the my one20 app assume your truck is 13'6"? I'm worried it didn't have me type my truck stats in and it take me to a low bridge or restricted route.

    I have been using TruckerPath for over 2 yrs now. I fail to understand why everyone is whining about it?
    the only 2 features that you have to pay for is Auto Night mode, my tablet does that on its own,
    and now Predictive Parking, so what, everything else is still free and has always been free.
    and since there are a lot more drivers that use it as opposed to others, the info on it is more current and more detailed than others.

    >>> I started using the Cat scale app, and i LOVE IT. I don't scale very often, but its great. pull on the scale log in, weigh, pull off and leave, bye.
    scale ticket emailed to me. Don't have to park and go in and get the darn ticket. I'm in and out in 10 mins tops.
    I also use the Pilot App, when i get fuel there, I don't leave the pump. fuel up, get back in and leave. done. I wish a few others had that option.

    Co pilot truck on a 10" tablet. Not perfect but with a little common sense applied, I've not seen anything better.

    Trucker Path for finding things along the route on my Nexus 7.

    Google maps on my phone for pretty #### accurate traffic conditions. Also the only tool for looking at the stops on satellite view. This is the best feature as far as I'm concerned.

    Radar Now! For weather conditions.

    I also have links to each States dot traffic, road conditions, and cameras to help make decisions during weather events.

    The big Atlas is always on the passenger seat for when something don't look right or just feel right.


    To be good and efficient at this job you need to be using every tool available to you.

    Truckerpath is great. I had the app about 2 years ago. But uninstalled it because there were not enough users at that time. I like how it has weigh station user feed, and updates on open, or closed status, along with a history of weigh station status.
