    Like you said, it'd for "what to expect" such as, do I use the toilet now or later, should I get lunch now or later, and so on.

    Right...I hear a need for how to get around once your on site or close. Example, one ways, tough turns, overnight lots, nearby food. Gotta be easy to use, available on any device.

    Many of the mega carriers are not "forced dispatch", meaning that the driver can "turn down" the load. If driver "turns down" the load, then he may have to "wait" for a while to get proposed another load, particularly if sitting up in a place like Cody Wyoming. Even the big mega's don't have a whole lot of loads originating out of Cody Wyoming. So, if an App were going to be used for "pressuring" DC's (or the endpoints of our lanes), then such App would almost need to have some kind of "campaign" mode/functionality, where when enough drivers have voted that a particular facility (an endpoint) is atrocious in it's treatment or non-support of the drivers, then such a facility could be "targeted" by a "campaign" (in which the App initiates) where drivers whom come within a "circle" of that facility could sit outside the facility for 2 minutes and blow their air horn and city horn....before moving on down the road to deliver their current load. (maybe not as effective as dumping urine or feces on a property...but won't land the trucker in jail ;-) ...but blowing horns is still less toxic than what many BLM protesters have done).
