    All of the major TS have
    Apps.

    CAT Scale and Blue Beacon.
    Some states have Apps for Road Conditions (getting closer to Winter).

    That post pretty much sums it up IMO.
    The pilot ts app is a joke and a complete waste of memory!

    I use Truckerpath Pro all the time; great for planning stops. Also, Google Maps for determining rough distances. I'm a company driver.

    MyDatTrucker-lists nearby t/s's, scales, Wal-marts, motels w/truck parking, rest areas, truck washes, svc's, and fuel prices.

    i just wish you could search for something before you are in the area. But, all in all, it has saved my bacon numerous times.

    Gads, how did we ever do it before satellites, cell phones, smart phones, etc? LOL. Those were the days, my friend!
