Trucker Guide Gets Better: Explore the Latest App Updates

Search Beyond Trucking Locations

Finding the right destination shouldn't mean scrolling through places that don't match what you're looking for. 

We've expanded Trucker Guide's search to include additional businesses and points of interest across the United States, alongside our existing database of trucking locations. You can now search by business name or address to find a wider range of destinations, including the location where you're delivering a load. 

Search results also show the distance to each destination, helping you see how far away it is before making your choice. 

Find the Right Service Provider with Better Filters

Finding the right truck stop, repair shop, towing service, or other location is now easier with improved search filters in Trucker Guide.

We've added three filters: Distance, Open Now, and Deals. Sort results by distance to find nearby options, use Open Now to see locations open now, or select Deals to find available discounts and special offers. 

Compare locations and services, spend less time searching, and find what you need along your route. Once you've found the right place, you can build a route directly to it in Trucker Guide. 

For places you visit regularly, you can also use My Favorites, introduced in our previous app update, to save delivery locations and other frequently visited places for easy access later.

Get a Better Idea of Truck Parking Availability

Finding parking can be one of the more frustrating parts of a long day on the road. You don't want to head to a location without knowing what to expect.

That's why we're working on making Parking Status in company listings more informative. The goal is to give you an approximate idea of how many parking spaces are available at a location, rather than leave you guessing based on a vague status.

We're still refining how this information is displayed, so the current status shouldn't be treated as a guarantee that a space will be available when you arrive. We're working toward making parking and weigh station information more useful for drivers making decisions about their next stop.

Plan Your Route Before You Hit the Road

Not ready to start a subscription just yet? Now you can build a route and look it over before deciding to start navigation. 

We wanted to make it easier to see where your route will take you before committing to a subscription. With this update, you can explore your planned route first. 

The subscription prompt appears when you tap Go to begin navigation. That way, you can get a better idea of your trip before making your decision.

A Cleaner Navigation Map That Keeps You Focused

When you're navigating, the last thing you need is a screen crowded with details competing for your attention. We've simplified the standard navigation map to make your route easier to follow and keep the focus on the road ahead.

But what if you need more detail about the area around you? You can switch to Satellite View whenever you want a more detailed look at your surroundings. Use the cleaner navigation view for following your route, then switch to Satellite View when you need extra geographic context.

Know Which Lane to Take with Lane Assistance

Getting into the correct lane before a turn or exit can make a big difference, especially when you're driving a truck through busy interchanges. That's why we're introducing Lane Assistance, one of the features our users have been asking us for.

During navigation, Lane Assistance shows you which lane to take for an upcoming maneuver. Instead of relying on the route line alone, you'll have an additional visual cue to help you prepare for a turn or lane change.

It's all about making the next move clearer, so you can focus on driving and prepare for what's ahead.

Get a Clearer View of Junctions and Exits

Highway interchanges aren't always easy to figure out from a standard map. Sometimes, you need a better look at the road layout to understand which exit to take.

That's where Junction View comes in. It shows a visual representation of an upcoming junction or exit to help you understand your route. Need to get the map back on screen? Just tap the X to close the view.

Lane Assistance and Junction View work together to give you a clearer picture of where to go before your next turn or exit. 

Know Which Road You're Driving On

Ever wanted to double-check the road number while following your route? We've made that easier, too.

The navigation screen now displays the name of the road you're currently traveling on. You can see this information right on the screen instead of having to search the map for a road label.

See the Time Zone Next to Your ETA

When you're covering long distances, your estimated arrival time can get confusing as you cross time zones. We heard that this information needed to be clearer, so we've added a time zone indicator next to your ETA.

Now, you can see the time zone associated with your estimated arrival time, giving you a clearer reference when planning deliveries, appointments, and stops across different regions.
