Is anyone NOT using Trucker Path App? What's wrong with you?

The thing is the "lots of spots" or "some spots" is never accurate. I think the only good thing that is generally accurate is the scales being open or closed.

The reviews of all the truckstops is nothing but a bunch of immature nonsense.

 

I would use it but I don't have a smartphone. my phone is a flip phone Samsung Rugby II ..

 

App?
I'm still searching for a 10 cent payphone for my check call

 

I was waiting for it to follow the demise of RoadNinja.

Enough people know where I'm at as it is...

 

Because of how much of my personal data they mine.

Because the app constantly pings locatuon, draining the battery in a hurry.

Because Truck Stop Pro (paid $5 over 6 years ago) has a quicker UI, has no adds, and closes when I tell it to close.

 

I really do not care if a weigh station is open or closed, since I run legal weights.
And not very many truck stops will be keeping track of how many spaces they still have open.

Also, I do not use apps on my phone while driving. It is dangerous to do so.
Most of what you have said suggests that you do, on a regular basis.

 

I do not do apps. I understand what they are, even dabbled at a couple of promising games only to discover limitations where you have to pay real money to get better digital stuff to play the game better. (Funny how that works... whats not funny is how many millions hand over a few bucks per day just as bad as coin op games in my time; they were a form of legalized theft and at the same time a failure of the family to adapt to the then new home entertainment systems which would have been a one time purchase for gaming time at home. Not in the arcade)

Anyway...

The Trucker App and Low clearances is promising but... to me that's not something where you want to be "Roughly 13.2, sorta 14.0 or qoute NY's 12.6 as a hard clearance (NY has a habit of saying a foot lower which is a disservice to the trucking industry, I slammed the brakes at my first one near NYC which caused the convoy to scatter and trash talk my newbie butt. Get going kid, we fit why don't you. Follow us and LEARN.... BTW welcome to NYC you mutt. LOL.

Anyway... If I access a information database in any form, like a book, google earth or some DOT website etc I must understand that bridge or pipeline or whatever over the highway WILL clear my 13'5" truck and trailer. I will not accept anything less. And the antennas singing at 13.5 and lower is not acceptable to me. That tells me the source is sorta, roughly maybe and inaccurate. That too is not acceptable.

Finally I prefer to trip plan at 35 mph average. Having google earth tell me I can get a big truck from here to there in less time (They use Car times) it's a liability. I once asked dispatcher for the difference between two interstate routes from NC to Michigan (You can probably guess which ones they were near of Spartansburg at the time. And the difference I got back turned out to be a mile. Then the follow up question would have been average time to run it with a big truck through the trucking company computers. They knew what it took to get their trucks from A to B since they track the things for years.

Im not going to be accessing ATS's computers from outside the building via Google, that would be a outrageous breach of their network.

What I would like to see is a truck based miles, travel time that has been done by big trucks at fleet average. That way I can more quickly decide from the App what is possible when trip planning. Any time I run into a problem like rush hour traffic at stop and go speed, I run another trip plan using the remaining time left to appt. Doing the math on paper gets old over time. A app that can do that would be nice.

Is that asking too much?

 

Is there another way to be connected to it?
