    In the last week, from San Francisco to Toronto,
    Each driver who passed me, was texting.....
    I almost received their trailer tail into my , mirror or truck body!
    Lucky ...nothing happened!
    Thanks for this clip!

    It looks easy when you're using voice to text in a quiet environment. Trust me, Siri will type garbage in many cases when you're in a noise environment like a moving truck.

      Mine works pretty well especially when using a headset equipped with a noise cancelling microphone.

    Another great app to use is slide Calc. Just put your axle weights in and when it calculates it’ll tell you to either pull your truck forward or backup and tells you which hole to slide tandems to. I use this app when ever I’m hauling a heavy load and never been overweight when I pass a scale house.

    TA/Loves App is good if you those truck stops for getting rewards

    Drive Weather - Boring name, amazing app. Enter destination, it shows you an overlay on the map of what the temp/precipitation/icy roads/WIND (w/direction)…all along your path WHEN YOU WILL GET TO ANY POINT during your trip. It is awesome…game changer.

    Gas Buddy is not always accurate. False prices.

    • @davenothere7545
      @davenothere7545 Год назад

      Prices are as reported by user group - crowd sourced as it were.
      People buying fuel report the price or the seller does. Thus,some inaccuracies and latencies are to be expected.

    • @mike-sk2li
      @mike-sk2li Год назад

      If you get a decent fuel card like nastic it will beat mudflap by 20 cents and the network is way bigger! Not to mention most of their stops are big chains so you get showers and points. I tried mudflap and it's a pain and not worth the hassle
