15 Free Apps for Truckers
We buy our Freightliner's from Truck Centers, Inc. They publish a magazine about twice a year. This little blurb caught my eye, as I know we're always looking for RV related apps...but Truckers face a lot of the same limitations and needs. Some of you may know these already, but I will post none the less.
Full credit to the article by Michelle Petroff in Driven Magazine, published by Truck Centers, Inc.

I use trucker path every trip. Love that app. This reminds me though I need to download gas buddy so I can stop paying big travel center prices when I don’t need DEF.

Thanks! Wife will look into these, she doesn’t like the apps that she has to enter name, rank, and serial numbers along with email address [emoji1303]

Copilot Live Truck says it does low clearance as well as weight limited roads.

Trucker path shows them. Just may want to turn off the other layers if that’s what you’re looking for

We found that most of the Rest areas on I 80 were closed. Don't know if that's permanent or not, but everything from Cheyenne to Green River were closed.

clicked the link, my firewall stopped the connection, and warning,  hackers will be able to get into your computer, and steal passwords and other private information, Sounds interesting but I'll pass.

I used iEXIT today rolling down I-10 for what seemed like an eternity from San Antonio to Wilcox, AZ. Much better than gas buddy as it tells you what side of the road to find a truck stop. There are lots of 100 mile stretches on I-10 where you have to carefully plan refueling.

Does iExit give you gas prices?
