Money Saving Trucker Apps:
Applications that Help
Professional Truck Drivers Save Money


Are you a money-conscious, technologically-savvy trucker? Then money saving trucker apps may be of interest to you.

When it comes to saving money, there are direct and indirect ways to do it. We share a lot of direct ways to save money on this site.

Sometimes saving time results in cost savings. An example of this is when it takes less time to travel a slightly longer, better flowing truck route as opposed to a shorter, congested one.

Sometimes conveniences result in cost savings through your not having to stop as often to take care of needs. An example of this is being able to combine your errands at Business A (which has all of the products and services you need) instead of having to visit Businesses B and C (that together have the products and services you need).

Consider the types of products or services that you as a professional truck driver may need: fuel, food, shower, truck stop store item, fax service, trip envelope drop box or scanning service, truck repair, truck wash, etc.

According to the July 2011 issue of Overdrive Magazine, these apps for professional truck drivers (alphabetized here) are especially helpful for Owner-Operators: Continental Truck Tires Dealer Locator, DriveReply, HazRef 2008, iGetLoaded, iLogMiles, ITS Trucker, Mack Dealer Locator, Michelin Truck Tires Locator, Mobile Warrior iDDL, My DAT Truckstop, Pilot store locator, Pocket FuelCal, TQL Freight Finder, Trapster, TripPak Mobile, Truck Smart, Truck Stop Coupons, Trucker, Trucker Net, Truckster, uDrove, uShip mobile, Winter Chain Laws, and Xata Turnpike Route Tracker.

Our List

We began compiling our own list of truly helpful, family-friendly money saving trucker apps. These may be free or paid and we've marked the ones we know are paid. We're listing the links we've found so you can read about each one.

Disclaimer: Personally, we don't have any of the devices to be able to access or use any of the apps on this page (at least not yet!), so we're relying on two things -- our own research and your help -- to provide here the premier list of money saving trucker apps. We accept no liability for the accuracy of any information (or lack thereof) generated by the apps listed on this page. At least one app we know of cranks out information that could be used against you, so please use discretion in the ones you use.

This page is a work in progress. Since our site is the place where you can get and share great money saving tips for truck drivers, here's what we ask from you:

If you have a better source for an app we've listed;
if you know of a hyperlink for an app where one isn't listed yet;
if there is a money saving trucker app that you just love that we should add to our list;
if we've listed an app that should be struck from the list;
if we didn't list that a particular app costs money (and needs to be marked "paid"); or
if you find that an app is not truly family-friendly,
please let us know through the form below.

Technology being what it is, we're sure that more time or money saving trucker apps are bound to be developed.

Update: This article says that an analysis found that Android smartphone software tracks every user's actions and keystrokes.
