Trucker Route is a free road conditions map for professional drivers. We pull DOT, National Weather Service, and live traffic data from more than forty states into one view, refreshed every fifteen minutes.
Keep drivers safe.
Keep them informed.
Professional drivers face chain laws, weight-restricted closures, and high-wind advisories that don't affect passenger vehicles. We aggregate what matters for an 80,000-pound truck and leave out what doesn't.
Every fifteen minutes, feeds from 41 state DOT APIs and the National Weather Service pull into one map, with Mapbox traffic drawn on top. No manual reporting and no user-submitted reports: the incidents and the alerts come straight from the agencies that publish them.
State DOT feeds
41 states, including Caltrans, TxDOT, CDOT, ODOT, WSDOT, PennDOT, MDOT. Each state's 511 API integrated one by one.
NWS alerts
Winter storm warnings, high-wind advisories, flood warnings. Each alert carries trucker-specific context.
Live traffic
Real-time Mapbox congestion on interstates and major highways, from light slowdown to severe delay.
Live incident feeds come from 41 state DOTs, 6 more send work zones only, and there is no feed yet for Connecticut, New Jersey or Rhode Island. States not yet connected are dimmed on the map so you always know where the data is. New state integrations ship regularly.
Trucker Route on iPhone / iPad.
