New trip planning app puts truck drivers in control of their time

Published:

With traffic getting heavier, the weather getting crazier, and electronic logging devices putting more and more of a squeeze on your available drive time, it’s more important than ever that you make the most out of your miles.

That’s why ALK Technologies has developed a new trip planning app designed to help keep professional truck drivers compliant with the law while they keep the wheels turning.

The new app is called MileOn by PC*MILER and it provides truck drivers with robust trip planning technology designed to help them maximize their miles while taking the guesswork out of staying DOT compliant.

The app works by incorporating a driver’s Hours Of Service information with his/her location and rest stop preferences to choose the best route for his/her needs. The app even looks at real-time road closure and weather information to help find the fastest and safest route for each driver. The MileOn app provides drivers with turn-by-turn directions and precise estimated time of arrival, making it a smart choice for both newer and veteran truck drivers.

Bill Maddox, vice president of PC*MILER, says that MileOn is all about giving truckers the tools they need to do their jobs safely and efficiently: “Although dispatchers and planners have been utilizing PC*MILER for years to generate routes, miles and reports, this technology hasn’t been available for drivers to use – until now, MileOn by PC*MILER is taking some of these tools from the back office and putting them right into the hands of drivers to give more control over how they plan their trips.

So far, reviews of this app have been positive, with an average Google Play Store rating of nearly four out of five stars.

Richard Seyfang (June 18, 2018): “I love this app very well designed and thought out.

Drivers can download the MileOn app for free for Android users on the Google Play store, or they can opt to enjoy the Premium version for just $2.99 per month. Drivers who upgrade to the paid version of the app will have access to advanced HOS planning tools. The MileOn app will also be coming to IOS soon!
