As a professional driver, having the best tools at your fingertips can make all the difference. While we’ve highlighted Maverick’s cutting-edge technology in a previous blog post, we want to provide you with helpful mobile applications that can assist in your day-to-day with helpful tips, technological support and more.

After speaking with several Maverick drivers and our operations department, here’s a list of applications that can be downloaded and used with ease. ALL FREE!

• First and foremost, we have built a Maverick mobile application that keeps you connected! Included are messaging capabilities, load information, paperwork scanning, your driver scorecard, and more!

• Pilot Flying J and other fueling locations provide applications that allow you to check fuel lanes, earn in-app specials and discounts and track your rewards points. These points can then allow you to pay for showers or goods within their stores.

• Life360- One of our drivers stated that his family and friends can track him even if he is unable to answer the phone. This provides a level of safety and comfort knowing where he is at all times.

• Trucker Path is a mapping tool where drivers can locate truck stops, weight stations and fuel prices along their route.

• Audible/Spotify, etc. We have many drivers who enjoy listening to audiobooks, music or podcasts. Check out any of these multimedia applications to add some mystery, comedy or fiction to your daily drive.

• Weather and traffic notifications are paramount when driving. Making sure you have a way to receive these notifications for the areas you will be traveling to will better prepare you for traffic jams and potential weather delays.

• An easy way to scale and weigh your truck is to download the Cat Scale application.

Having helpful phone applications in your back pocket can enhance your driving experience with better safety, better utilized time and reduce your stress. Technology continues to evolve and when you take advantage of it, it can transform your job and your journey.
