Reviews for Trucker Tools

Stay away. Do not agree for tracking you using this app. For example. I arrived at Friday my home terminal and I put pause tracking for 18 hours, because I got my time in home. After 3 hours I noticed on phone screen TT notice. Tracking was restored to On status. I marked again pause tracking for 18 hours, and I make sure status changed for not tacking. After 5 hours I checked my phone and tracking was ON again.

Worst tracking app for truckers! I have tried everything! I've changed the settings so that the app can track my phone all the time and I've even left the app open in the background and nothing works. If the app is not actively open and on your screen then it won't track you! I'm so tired of getting 20 notifications a day asking me to resume tracking! Other load tracking app don't do this! I had a broker try to charge me $200 for not using tracking the other day because of this stupid app!

Being "for truckers" is such a joke. This app specifically is the most un-user friendly I've had the displeasure of using. The tracking is never correct, the times are always backwards in the stop order and the notifications don't make any sense. And the scanning feature is a pain. Auto-scan and multiple pages at a time PLEASE, for the love of everything... Facing a fine for not using the app could you at least make it usable. Macropoint is way superior, just saying...

Possibly the worst app for tracking. Doesn't want to work most of the time and fairly archaic. Didn't use the other features so I don't know about them but I do know any time I tried to send a message through it, it started bouncing and flickering. Constantly kept telling me to restart tracking via text messages. I never turned it off, so...

When tracking is active, this app crashes constantly. Doesn't matter if you uninstall it and reinstall it ,whether you update or not. Then when it does crash and gives you the pop up where you can hit send feedback, the feedback screen crashes.. The app does not work consistently or efficiently. It hasn't for 2 years or more.. Please either fix the app or discontinue it and get something that works UPDATE 10/10/2022; Still garbage. Brokers still require it.....

App let's broker's turn on tracking whenever they want, even if you haven't started on their load let. My phone told me that tracking had been turned on by the app. Once I opened it up, it showed that tracking was on for a load I wasn't scheduled to pick up for another 28 hours. I'm reporting this to Google due to the fact that Trucker Tools is allowing third parties to track a phone whenever they want which is a contradiction to the description for the app.

I have used other trucking apps and this one is the best, by far! You don't get bombarded with ads. The information is very accurate. The update has given us more options/features that make our jobs easier! I love the new, clean look. The ETA with each step/turn is priceless! Rate the truck stops, contribute to the scale info (open/closed), give us a heads up on parking, find parking, see UTD fuel cost...I 100% recommend this over other all other trucking apps! Look no further! This one is "IT"!

It's a great app, and works well. However, honestly as semi drivers, are we not tracked enough as is, without adding these. We already have are Garmin GPS, are mobile phones, and elds, and truck tractor tracking device, and most trailers, especially with reefers all have some kind of tracking device built in them. All these are already tracking you as is. Add this and that makes at least 6 ways they, Google and different government entities can and is tracking you.

No review for being a good app! It's a snooping app that's all it is! I don't want apps going through my phone and seeing any personal information, just not feasible! If these brokers want to be dispatchers they should be working for a company that hires dispatchers, be a broker and leave the particulates to the driver's, tracking causes many issues with the phone like battery over usage and signal distortion, it's not an exact tracker by any means if they have to contact you!

What I'm trying to get fuel prices there are too many Ave overlapping folders. It was nicer on the old version where you could hit the list and just have all the fuels come up and you know what the price of diesel was without having to move things out of the way and scroll down and press more buttons. The app find more routes now which is better than what used to do. Just tell you can't be routed

Update: 6/28/22 I don t know why or how, but it went from 4.5. to 1.5 stars. Fuel prices are important,the GPS feature,the load finder,yeah that s nice, but it was all 3 features that made it 5 stars,lose the most important feature and that s it. I have no use for this app,it fails to provide fuel prices along my route and when it did,the fuel stop was upto 50 miles out of route.

If I could give it a minus 10, I would. This app is way too complicated to use. When a broker wants to track my load how in the sam (>_/=$%%^ do you fix it so he can track me. Do they have to send me a request? How do you open and start load track when it says "off" there are no step by step directions to turn it on. This is WAY TOO COMPLICATED and time consuming to use when I am picking up a load I need to head down the road when my DOT clock is running down.

Such a frustrating app!!! It's a great idea, but it's just so darn glitchy!! 1. When you look for truck stops, the description box covers the map icon!?! 2. When I'm finally able to click the map icon, it instantly closes the app but nothing else happens!! 3. Now it only shows the truck stops/fueling stations nearest to me... Not the whole route. It's useless for planning a stop a little later in the trip!!!

Before the update, this app was great for finding fuel. But now, i can't search for truck stops without getting an error, the fuel optimization screen i can't scroll through, the app is really slow. The load tracking option is decent, but not great. If i can't search for truck stops and fuel prices, then the app is almost useless to me.

App refuses to properly track loads on my phone. I have one of the newest Samsung phones, so it's not from having lack of proper technology. App keeps telling me to change location permission to allow all the time, but it's already on that setting. I've tried allowing it to draw over other apps and restarting my phone. Broker was pretty annoyed, since he thinks I'm not doing something right. Good for load info, horrible tracking.

Terribly invasive app. We truck drivers are being forced to use these apps that invade our very last piece of personal life. There is no reason anyone could ever need this much access to anything. I'd give them 0 stars if it were allowed. It makes no difference how many times you accept the tracking it'll send your company and broker emails and texts saying that you have done something to turn the tracking off. You will get more texts, emails, calls than ever before. Thanks TT

Room for improvement. More owner op focused. Unable to see the bottom row of icons when on the Places tab. Unable to find truck washes in areas I know they exist. Unable to do a general area search of what's available for stops or fuel by all names or certain names and then filter for ones we are approved to use by company (not owner op). Navigation has potential, just not quite there yet. I look forward to future improvements :)

Very slow and difficult to use. What happened to this app? It use to be fantastic and I loved using it. Now it's not user friendly at all and tries to do everything opposite of what your wanting it to do. Load searches are a pain to try to look up. Truckstop searches gives you every truck stop 100 miles behind you instead of your area and along your route. Fuel price search gives you the cheapest price in another state that your not traveling through. Please go back to the old version!!

For some reason they will not stop sending me messages to open the app while I'm running a load. Throughout my last trip I was getting one every hour or more for three days. My app was open I was tracking just like their request. But the alerts keep coming. Even when I'm trying to sleep. Just today alone in 600 miles I received 19 messages. And of course I will get more throughout the night unless I delete this thing.

Another failed tracking app. Just keep these tracking apps as simple as possible. App is on as "Always Tracking", but, brokers keep calling to update my app and location. The whole point of getting tracked is so that drivers don't have to constantly worry. Phone GPS, location and service tracking are all active, yet, the app doesn't pick up on it. Take Carrier Link app as an example of how this should work.
