Questions
Common questions from drivers
Does Big Rig Pilot work on iPhone?
Not yet. It's for Android phones and tablets, and it works without Google Play services.
Why does it cost so much less?
We're a small family business with no big office, no ads, and no investors to pay back. The map data comes from OpenStreetMap, so we pass the savings on to you.
What happens after the free trial?
Pick a plan - $50 for the first year (then $69 a year), or $6 a month. Each driver needs one. Plans renew until you cancel, and we remind you before each yearly renewal.
Does it work without a cell signal?
The built-in truck stops, rest areas, scales, and parking work with no signal. Planning a new route needs a connection.
