    I recently bought an iphone and I love the applications that are available. I have been searching for trucker specific applications and have found some that could be useful but nothing trucker specific. I know alot of trucker are using the iphone now so...

    My question is this: How many people would be interested in applications that allow access directly to the Trucker Report Forum and/or to www.chickentrucker.com
    (similar to the i space application)?

    If so, would you be willing to pay $.99 for this application through the itunes store to help me offset the software needed to design the application?


    For forum admins/ owners: Is this something you would be interested in? I may need some info from you specifically to make the application.

    I wait anxiously!! :)

    BTW, if I can do this with no money out of pocket I will offer it for free, but it's looking like I will at least have to upgrade my OS to run the software.

    I don't know if anyone else is interested or even reading this stuff, but once I am up and running I want to develop iphone apps specifically for truckers.

    I NEED IDEAS!

    I already found a good mileage logger that could be used for O/O and company drivers to keep track of $ per mile earned and expenses on each trip. Thought about a logbook application, any other ideas?

    Sure, this would be interesting indeed. Are you a programmer? I do think there should be more apps for truckers to be sure! I don't have an iPhone, too much for me, but I would like to see some apps for truckers.

    I am not a programmer by trade. Went to college for computer science. You can see how much a computer degree has helped me! :) Anyway, I dabble in some programming, and maintain a few websites, mostly for family. I will look into what I need to develop applications for the iPhone and see what I can do.
