Trucker Tools Reviews

by This Site App

I have sent repeated messages regarding a notification I receives whenever I submit a quote for a load “looks like you are working with a broker” please advise why this notification is popin up, I am not a broker nor am I working with a broker. There seems to be a problem because in my setting TruckerTools continues to place multiple brokers, I continuously delete them but they seem to automatically replaced once I click back into the settings! Can someone please respond?

You need to make it so your app doesn’t track people when they are not doing a load that requires tracking, on iPhone I can select to allow it to track ONLY WHILE USING TruckerTools but it insists I set it to always allow, which means even when I’m not actively under a load, I received a message from my phone that macropoint tracked my location 36 times in the background because it’s set up the same way as TruckerTools no doubt is, I also know you will claim otherwise and most likely that will be a lie. I should not have to keep installing and uninstalling apps from MY PHONE because of these apps intrusive nature in order to safeguard my privacy.

I used TruckerTools on a load once and then had other freight brokers calling me and tracking my movements even when I wasn’t on a load. I even had someone call me offering me a fuel card and showed me a map of every truck stop I had passed along my route. How invading is that?.... Be very skeptical about the apps you download on your devices. Some are very intrusive and can read your personal information and emails. Total violation of your privacy.

Recent updates have made TruckerTools unusable for the purposes I have. Mapping is not accurate. Load tracking/ finding is no longer working. No response from their IT in the message section about the problems. Excess data usage was an issue before the recent updates. On my phone screen TruckerTools stays actively using location while it’s sending wrong information to the brokers; several miles even states away from the actual location. No answer at their telephone number anymore. Maybe another company that is closing??

TruckerTools tracks your location when you are not on the load 24/7. I have tested it for over a week now without being assigned a load. And then they sell your personal information and location to advertisers and 3rd party scammers. Also this is being used to manipulate the market prices.
Don’t feed the system, delete TruckerTools right after you finish your load.
Stop enabling “them” from spying on you.

TruckerTools works mediocre at best. It would be a whole lot better if they would actually design it or fix it so it would not lag and freeze up even with perfect service while you’re trying to edit or update your dwell times, your comments on a load and scroll through each stop. Also with it always tracking it drains the battery down on your phone quick. Also the constant notifications about a load track that is going on becomes annoying.

First I don’t see the need just to track a truck when you don’t have any information on the loads that you are on , besides where you picking up and dropping off. Other that no pickup numbers. And you still have to call in just to verify you picked up or finished unloading, but that is not what bothers me. It’s the lack of information.

Customer requires it but I can’t read it. It’s like a stack of cards with only the top 1/8” showing of each card. If you have a suggestion, I’m listening.

Developer response helped. App is still a little busy and for me at least not intuitive. Could be a generational thing. I’m older than dirt as the saying goes.

I’ve used this for years, I especially like the Route Optimization. I use it when there is a missing truck driver. I also use the axle calculator and even showed it to DOT once after loading and scaling at a mill, I had written the weights down and there was no CAT scale near. Would y you know we wanted to see axle weights. It worked.
Today when I tried to put my route in for the current trip, TruckerTools could not find a truck route.

by Matthew541998

There’s fewer truck stops on here than there was maybe a month ago, for instance the circle K at exit 33 off i20 in south carolina is no longer on here. Also, it doesn’t tell me what fuel cards are accepted anymore. Overall still a good app though.

I have 2 box truck 26 ft and willing to get more trucks .just i need to found someone to make my small business growing thank you

by Zeus_77_DR

TruckerTools is really good and could be better. One of my most favorite features is knowing what truck stops are up ahead and if you click On Route even better. Some locations are a little off but still great sometimes even better than what my Rand Mccnally and Garmin would say about what’s coming up. Must try and use. Hope you guys update soon. Truckers give it a shot.

Trucker Tools has been one of the many apps I use on a daily basis to get through my day. I also enjoy reading the magazine articles when I can. It’s optimized for simple redirecting and fuel solutions. Thanks to DrivenTrucking for getting me on board and suggesting TruckerTools .

I’ve been using TruckerTools for 4 years. Now TruckerTools is constantly crashing after last update. The only true functionality was the diesel finder. Now its all messed up. bummer!

by Thegreatunobolio

I am a logistics specialist for a brokerage, we have an asset and power sides . This is perfect for me as a broker. I don’t have to bother with worrying about updates, every 5 min it pings and gives me where load is tracking, plus when done with load they can scan bills straight to me , how does it get any easier

by Adamsupercub

From a truckers perspective this is a great app! The extra features that are available are very useful in day to day operations. The Trucker Tools app is really the best app on the market! It has so many beneficial tools for your everyday needs! They really are bridging the gap between brokers and carriers!

by Five-"O"

This is an excellent app! Very helpful and well designed. The layout is very user friendly. Every truck driver should utilize this extremely helpful app... I especially enjoy the “Magazine” section, very interesting and insightful. 🚛🚛🚛 I would highly recommend this tool to all drivers!!!

So I have only been using Trucker Tools for almost a year thanks to a suggestion from Driven trucking. Im still Saving my pennies in order to buy my own Truck, but was able to still use TruckerTools in order to navigate and look for fuel routes. I wanted to familiarize myself with an easy to navigate app so that when I am able to purchase my own truck I will be in the know and ready to rock and Roll. Thank you for making a very easy to navigate tool. Josh Dallas, Texas

Beware that this company will continue to charge your credit card after you have cancelled your subscription. They also will offer you discounted services in exchange for "positive" testimonials.

Broker said it will not use data. He was wrong, it uses your data that your paying for. Brokers wants so same money by using TruckerTools so now the driver can pay to be tracked. What a joke

by Hereismyname

This could be a great app. Some of the icons in side TruckerTools don’t work. Some of the icons in side TruckerTools if you click/touch it goes to the next step but there is no way to go back to the previous step. You have to close TruckerTools and start over. Also seems slower than some of the other broker apps.

Had my iphone icloud account and all connected emails hacked out of Dallas tx after using TruckerTools for load tracking, besides the social group of people looking for gay sex with truckers, in a world filled with hackers this has no security so if you want some random logistics firm connecting to your phone well thats your choice i am very careful what i download and you should too

by Joeh1148

TruckerTools don't list all the mom and pop truck stops . That give great discounts on fuel. It did now it's just mostly the big truck stops .

by Threxx23

I like how you can send quotes, BUT don’t like how I need to go open maps to figure out the distance. I also don’t like how every time I send a quote I need to renter my contact info. No refresh search page or pick a distance to a pic up and distance with in the of a drop. No back haul search tab.

by Leblancly

Sometimes it freezes or doesn’t load different sections, but it’s free to use and has a lot of different useful tools in one including a free load board.

Gives you an idea of what’s around and somewhat where it is. Helps me out a lot

I have never paid a dime for TruckerTools and I use it all the time . Trucker path and TruckerTools are the best in the market and they are free 😎

Love TruckerTools. Use it daily the mileage app is my most used part. The actual mileage is perfect for giving an eta to customers , getting rates for loads etc. Love it
