Driving long days certainly has both its benefits and its challenges. Fortunately, as smartphones have become more common, people have developed technology to address some of those challenges. While there are countless applications out there, the best driving apps can be extremely useful for truckers. Whether you are looking for something to help you find safe parking<\/a> or a fitness app<\/a> to help keep you on track, chances are that you can find what you want. However, it can be difficult to keep up with something that changes so quickly. If you want to find the best driving apps for truckers, you’re in luck!<\/p>\n

Best Driving Apps<\/h2>\n

Waze<\/h3>\n

Do you find yourself frustrated every time you run into an unexpected roadblock? Whether you end up stuck for hours or even just slowed down a few minutes, traffic is never fun. This is especially true when you’re working and getting paid by the mile. Avoid the headaches that come from traffic jams with Waze<\/a>, the “world’s largest community-based\u00a0traffic and navigation app”.\u00a0 This app can serve as both your GPS and your own personal\u00a0navigation assistant.<\/p>\n

Drivewyze<\/h3>\n

Talking about being slowed down on the road, are you frustrated by how often you have to stop at weigh stations? Well, if so, you’re not alone! In fact, so many drivers were frustrated by this inconvenience that app developers built Drivewyze<\/a>, the best way to legally bypass weigh stations. Depending upon your personal driving history, you could expect to bypass weigh stations as often as 98 percent of the time. The app offers a free 30-day trial as well so you can give it a shot and see if it works for you with no risk. It’s about time someone came up with a solution for this! After all, less time waiting at a weigh station is more time driving and more money in your pocket!<\/p>\n

GasBuddy<\/h3>\n

When you’re on the road day after day, you’re going to use a lot of gas. All that gas adds up quickly and can seriously cut into your earnings. With GasBuddy<\/a>, you can connect to a network of other drivers communicating where the best gas prices around you are. Sure, a few cents a gallon may not sound like much, but when you’re using as much gas as a truck driver those cents can add up quickly!<\/p>\n

Trucker Tools<\/h3>\n

Unless you are brand new to driving, there is a good chance that you have heard of Overdrive Magazine. What you may not be aware of is the fact that they have developed a free app exclusively for truck drivers. It is certainly true that there are plenty of great apps out there but this one might be number 1. Trucker Tools<\/a> compiles many of the features of the other best apps for drivers into one location allowing you to find truck stops, check diesel prices, and find the fastest trucking route. Perhaps the best thing about Trucker Tools is its versatility. If you’re not sure where to start with smartphone applications, consider starting here.<\/p>\n

KeepTruckin<\/h3>\n

Regardless of how you personally feel about the changing regulations for truckers, it is no secret that everyone has to keep up with them. However, with the regulatory landscape changing so quickly this can be exceedingly difficult. KeepTruckin<\/a> does the hard work for you. This application is regularly updated to account for new changes and helps you make sure you are meeting governmental regulations on scheduling and driving time. In fact, KeepTruckin is so reliable that the Department of Transportation has approved it. With the ELD mandate only a few months away from taking effect, it may be time to start planning ahead.<\/p>\n
