Apps that Will Make Winter Easier for Truck DriversCold weather brings dangerous driving conditions! Make sure you are ready and fully aware of what’s up ahead. If you are not a fan of technology already, here are some apps for weather and road conditions that can make your drive much more comfortable in the winter months:
AccuWeather, Highway Weather, The Weather Channel, Trucking Weather and Traffic, Weather Underground, Dark Sky (for iOS only), Carrott Weather, Weather On The Way (iOS only), Radar Scope – these are some of the most popular weather apps that are a must-have for truckers.
An app that could also be useful is Trucker Path. Here you can find many different features of importance for a trucker’s life. Whether you want updates on parking availability, information on weigh stations and scales or you just want to visit the trucking forum and have a conversation with your colleagues, Truckers Path covers it all.
Another great piece is Gas Buddy. This app helps you find cheap gas and fuel-saving offers. With the cold months at their peak, the fuel consumption skyrockets. It’s never a bad idea to spare a dime on it.
