Trucker Route Engineered for 80,000 lbs GVWR
A sudden chain-control order over a 7,000 ft summit. An axle frost restriction on a bridge. A 60 mph crosswind gust that flips an empty dry van. None of this exists on consumer GPS apps.
Trucker Route unifies all 50 states (62+ agency 511 feeds), National Weather Service warnings, NASA FIRMS wildfire satellites, and USGS seismology onto one synchronized map. Free, no account, zero paywall.

Frequently Answered Questions
Q1 Is Trucker Route completely free? ↓
Yes. The web map, the 1,453 state regulatory pages, and the native iOS app are completely free. There is no account registration, no paywall, no ads, and no user data tracking.
Q2 How often is live data refreshed? ↓
Every 15 minutes. Feeds across all 50 states (covering 62+ individual State DOT APIs, regional turnpike authorities, 511 portals, and the National Weather Service) are ingested automatically. If an agency feed goes offline, that region is visibly dimmed on the map so users know data is pending.
Q3 Which states have live 511 integration? ↓
All 50 states have complete statutory references and direct portal links, with 62+ active live agency feeds (including Caltrans, TxDOT, CDOT, ODOT, WSDOT, PennDOT, MDOT, FL511, OHGO, and NY 511).
Q4 Where does the data come from? ↓
Directly from government and official meteorological sources: state DOT APIs, National Weather Service, NASA FIRMS, NIFC, NOAA, USGS, FEMA, NHTSA, and FMCSA. There is zero unverified crowdsourced guesswork.
Q5 Is there an iOS app for the cab? ↓
Yes, a native iOS application built for iPhone and iPad featuring background location monitoring, proactive route push notifications, and offline tile caching for mountain passes.
