Trucker Apps
It’s hard to imagine trucking before mobile devices. Remember plotting your route with a truckers atlas? Using payphones and calling cards? Needing several different books from the truck stop chains to plan fuel stops? No Google Maps Satellite view? Those were different times. Simpler times, maybe. But mobile devices definitely improves our lives over the road.
Now we have apps for everything. There are even apps for things I didn’t even know I wanted to do. Let’s take a quick look at three apps for truckers.
