    I have been driving truck for nearly three years now, and no single device I have ever owned has helped me in my career as much as the apple iphone.

    This little device has saved me so many headaches in my time driving, from looking for places to park my truck on the google maps application, or listening to, and reading weather updates on weather channel applications.

    Or the app that maps and rates interstate rest areas, and truck stops. this is only the begining, I do not know how to articulate to you how awesome this little device is for a truck driver, however, i absolutely love it.

    if youre in the market for a premium cell phone, check it out.

    I've had my iPhone for a little over a year, and even though I'm just starting out in the industry, I already know how invaluable it is to me. I found that truck stop app you are talking about, and it came in handy for my recent road trip to Vancouver, BC and back...

    I am waiting for it to come out on Verizon. Then we will see what the iPhone will really be able to do.

    Or one of the many idiots that weave all over the road everyday playing with their phone when they should be paying attention to their driving!
