Trucking Apps Best for Truck Drivers

The trucking industry in North America has evolved in recent decades. With the advent of widespread mobile devices, professional truck drivers now have more digital tools than ever available at their disposal. Here are the trucking apps that we at Motor Transport Alliance find most useful for truckers.

8 Best Apps for Truckers

The following apps are all available on Google Play Store/Android devices and Apple App Store/iOS devices.

8. Truckstop Go™ Load Board App

This mobile app is designed with owner-operators shipping freight in mind. The app makes it easy to find new loads, compare rates, find fuel stations, and much more.

7. Drivewyze® PreClear

Marketed as a trucking weigh station bypass app, this service helps drivers save time by legally bypassing North American weigh stations. The premise is simple: the app detects nearby weigh stations, auto-sends a bypass request, and notifies drivers if their request was accepted or if they need to pull into the station.

6. Weigh My Truck

CAT Scale’s Weigh My Truck app is a free app that lets users quickly weigh trucks and pay for everything remotely at CAT Scale locations. PDF copies of the weigh ticket are sent directly to the app for drivers to view at their convenience.

5. Trucker Tools

Trucker Tools positions itself as a handy all-in-one truck driving mobile app. With it, drivers can find nearby truck washes, WalMarts, and other points of interest; calculate axle weight; book and track loads; plan trips; and more.

4. DAT Load Board App

Owner-operators and carriers can easily find, book, and track loads as well as get paid for trucking jobs within a day of filing the right paperwork.

3. Weather Channel App

The Weather Channel app is not a specific app for truckers, but its up-to-date forecasts can still be helpful for safety and route planning purposes.

2. Waze

Waze is a great alternative to Google Maps. It is a unique source of real-time traffic updates, with user-generated notifications helping truck drivers reroute their paths in the event of hazards and traffic.

1. Love’s Connect App

Finding fuel stations, truck parking spots, comparing prices, and earning rewards is easy with the Love’s Connect trucking app. Truckers can unlock even more benefits at over 500 Love’s Travel stops with Motor Transport Alliance’s fuel card program, including exclusive discounts on fuel, tire and maintenance, and more.
