Trucker Path
How many are using "Trucker Path"??
I have been using it in Iowa and Illinois and it hasn't been wrong yet. |
Nobody is using it?
|
once in a while. its a good app.
|
I downloaded the app about a month or so ago. It has come in handy on a few occasions. It has always been right.
|
what else does it do besides tell you where scales are? i haven't played with it yet.
|
I use it, its been right most of the time

It will show truck stops and rest areas on your route and tell you if parking is available. |
There is also a loadboard attached to the app. I have no idea if it is a decent loadboard.
|
I've used it for awhile now. I'm not sure what I would do without it. The loadboard is decent. I've used it many times.
|
I used it a lot when I was driving otr. It basically is a truck stop directory and weigh station directory based on a peer reporting. It tells you when you are approaching a scale if it is open or not based on the last report. IDk how useful the scale alerts are since it can be hours since the last report (it tells you) but just for the truck stop directory it is worth it.
|
So far, the app has been accurate for me. One problem with the app is if a scale is opening and closing. It could give information based upon whether the scale was open or closed when the last driver updated the app.
|
So the drivers update the app? What if nobody using the app used that scale?
|
It works great for me. It hasn't been wrong yet. I don't use it to see if a scale is open or not.

The way the app works is that once a driver is about 1 mile passed the scale the app will ask you whether the scale is open or closed. The app will them time stamp the response and those accessing the app can see whether the scale is open at that time. It is no guarantee that the scale will be open or closed when you get to the scale, but since it is drivers reporting on the scale status, it is pretty accurate information and is usually in real time. Scale information is not all that is available on the app, but some like that feature. |
This is what seems to be the case. App just sits at the last change a driver made. I've heard some drivers will flip parking to full just to hope a spot will be left when they get there.
