Truck Driver Apps: WeatherBug, Helps Keep You Safe On The Road

Unless you’re listening to a 24/7 weather station on the radio, it’s difficult to keep up on the weather while driving. Luckily, the WeatherBug app can help keep you informed on your smartphone.

Compatible with iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android, Blackberry, Nokia, and Windows Mobile, WeatherBug offers real-time severe weather alerts, hourly and 7-day forecasts, radar maps, and access to live weather cameras in your area.

For more information on WeatherBug, or to download it to your phone, visit the WeatherBug website. You can get the ad-supported version of WeatherBug for free, or the ad-free WeatherBug Elite for a small fee ($1.99-$4.99), depending on your smartphone. I have been using the free version of WeatherBug for the past year, and it quickly became my favorite source for weather.
