It is hard to remember a time when practically every person didn't have a phone on them at all times. Could you imagine driving a semi before the age of cell phones or GPS’? Can you even imagine having to pull out maps daily to map out your route? How would you know about road closures and construction zones? How would you know when the next fuel stop for a semi would be available? We consider ourselves lucky to have some easily obtainable smart tools at our fingertips making our lives so much easier. With that in mind, here are some smart phone apps that might be even more useful to drivers out on the road and features that could come in handy.
