Beta
Trucker Buddy
What's ahead of you, without touching your phone. Truck stops, rest areas, and weigh stations at 20, 30, and 50 miles out. Big text. Dark dash theme. Zero touches after you hit start.
Free. No account. No signup.
How it works
- Open it on your phone. Mount your phone on the dash the way you normally would.
- Add it to your home screen. It installs as an app and keeps working offline, so dead zones don't kill it.
- Hit Start Driving and allow location. It follows your GPS, figures out your direction of travel, and lists what's ahead. The screen stays awake while you drive.
What you get
- Truck stops, rest areas, and weigh stations ahead of you
- 20, 30, and 50 mile lookahead tabs
- Tap any stop for a Call button and a Navigate button
- Your location never leaves your phone. All the math runs on-device. No tracking.
Planning aid only
Trucker Buddy is not an ELD. It doesn't record your duty status, touch your truck's computer, or generate legal logs. You type in your own clock and it helps you plan. It won't keep you legal on hours of service. Always verify against your ELD and the road signs.
It's in beta
Trucker Buddy is still being tested on real roads. If a stop shows up that's closed, or a real stop doesn't show up, that's a data fix on our end, not yours. It gets better every week.
