Trucker Path now available through the Platform Science Virtual Vehicle Marketplace

Trucker Path announced that its full suite of driver-centric tools and solutions is now available through the Platform Science Virtual Vehicle Marketplace. This integration delivers real-time access to trusted maps, truck-optimized routing, and resource locating – providing drivers and dispatchers with a unified experience that improves safety, increases efficiency, and reduces friction between the cab and back office. Features of the Trucker Path app include:

• Trip planning and truck-specific turn-by-turn navigation
• Live parking availability at truck stops, rest areas and thousands of additional locations
• Weigh station status along routes
• Points of interest catering to truckers (truck stops, wash stations, hotels, and more)
• Community / crowd-sourced updates (road conditions, parking availability, dock insights, etc.)

“By integrating Trucker Path into the Platform Science environment, fleets can capitalize on all of our capabilities directly within their current ecosystem, eliminating the need for drivers to switch between apps,” said Chris Oliver, CMO at Trucker Path. “For drivers, this means less distraction, safer routing, and less time wasted finding parking or getting to their destination. This integration supports drivers while also providing significant operational improvements for fleets.”

“Trucker Path delivers the kind of actionable, driver-centric intelligence that modern fleets need to maintain peak performance on the road. With the addition of Trucker Path, fleets now have more choices within a growing category in the Platform Science Marketplace,” said Joe Jumayao, VP of Business Development, Platform Science. “Our Virtual Vehicle platform provides access to accurate, real-time data and intelligence, enabling fleets to reduce administrative overhead, improve compliance with height, weight, and HOS requirements, and deliver a safer, more predictable experience for their drivers. The result is higher satisfaction, reduced turnover, and increased operational efficiency. "

North Carolina-based freight carrier Cargo Transporters, a Platform Science customer, is rolling out Trucker Path across their entire fleet. Currently, the app’s map data is being installed on Platform Science in-cab tablets to facilitate truck routing. In the future, the company plans to overlay fuel stop information on those routes.

“Our drivers were not satisfied with our previous navigation tool,” said Jerry Sigmon, Jr., Chief Operating Officer at Cargo Transporters. “After we had an opportunity to talk to Trucker Path and heard good things from drivers with personal Trucker Path accounts, we demoed the app with drivers and they liked it, especially its truck-friendly routes and navigation functionality. That’s when we made the decision to switch our entire fleet to Trucker Path on Platform Science.”
