Very HelpFull
You guys are the Best.way Better then Schneider GPS system.
Can’t stand this app
There are countless things that this app does that genuinely make your life worse if you drive big trucks. This app has gotten me into more hot water than it has helped me, and now you have to pay a subscription for it. It almost feels like the people who made it have never driven a truck before. It does an okay job sometimes, but avoid if possible.
not free
would have been nice to know that it wasn’t free before entering all my info in. thanks for delaying my trip.
Wrong navigation

Weigh stations
Not sure why but weigh station no longer pop up when routing will be deleting and unsubscribing if this get fixed
WTH
I used to love using this app, but now since I have to pay for it, it’s got worse. When it was free, it was better.
Dot scales
Does not show dot scales
Fix the glitches
This app has too many glitches while I’m driving your map decides it wants to start spinning in circles very annoying. The narrator speaks too much and there’s no way to change it it also it tells me to get off the highway to get back on the highway. Very annoying.
Review
It’s okay i guess, not as good as garmin but it’s a okay budget option
Not good
Sometime has good route options but this app will take you on non truck routes. Tell you to make U-Turn with a 53 foot trailer. Sometimes bugs out and tell you to get off on an exit you’re not even supposed to get off at. Not reliable and up to date on roads. I do Not recommend.
Rug pull for subscription and now no weigh scales
I’ve used this app for almost two years. I started using it as it was the best free option for truck routes, but now it’s subscription only. Okay, I’ll subscribe as I have over a dozen saved addresses and don’t want to hassle switching apps. As of 3/23/26, weigh stations have been removed entirely. This is insane to me as it’s usually fairly important to know exactly where they are to ensure I’m in the correct lane and most are only marked a mile (less than a minute of travel on most highways) away and you have to scramble to get over.
I’m disappointed in the rug pull to subscriptions, but the weigh station removal is below the belt. I’ll be switching over to TruckerPath once my last month is up.

Subscription needed
Loved this app for whenever I drove a commercial vehicle and wanted directions. Recently noticed that you NEED a subscription.
