Truck Buddy
Say “Hey Buddy”

Just say it.Buddy finds a spotyour rig fits.

Truck Buddy is the hands-free voice copilot for truck drivers. Ask for parking, a hotel, fuel or a mechanic, and it picks a place that fits your truck and sets the route.

Talk like a driver

Say it the way you’d say it to dispatch.

No menus and no magic words. Buddy turns everyday phrases into the right search, and only asks a follow-up when it really changes the answer.

How it works

From “Hey Buddy” to a route in one breath.

  1. 01

    Wake it up

    Say “Hey Buddy” or tap the avatar. The wake word is heard on the phone, so nothing leaves it until you talk to Buddy.

  2. 02

    Talk normally

    Buddy shows what it heard, so you know it got you right before it acts.

  3. 03

    Buddy picks and routes

    It weighs your truck, the distance and the parking, picks one place and sets the route. The answer is a sentence or two, out loud and on screen.

  4. 04

    Tap Go

    Driving mode takes over: big turn-by-turn, spoken out loud, with your arrival time always in view.

Truck parking

It looks at the lot before you take the exit.

A listing saying “truck parking” isn’t the same as room for 70 feet of rig. Buddy checks a 300 m satellite view around the place to judge whether a 53 ft tractor-trailer can park there, finds the truck entrance, and ends your route at it.

Truck parking listed Fits a 53 ft trailer Tight, check on arrival

Ask “where do I park?” and Buddy tells you which side the entrance is on, from the direction you’re actually coming.

Your truck

Try it: change the height and watch the route

Height
Trailer length53 ft
Gross weight80,000 lb
Hazardous materials
Avoid toll roads
Built around your rig

Tell it your truck once. Every route respects it.

Setup takes one sentence. Height, trailer length, weight and hazmat all shape the route, so Buddy steers you clear of low bridges and roads your truck shouldn’t be on. Change it any time by voice.

Say it like

“13 foot 6, 53 foot trailer, 80,000 pounds, no hazmat.”

Estimated route · truck restrictions not checked

When Buddy can’t verify restrictions on a road, it tells you plainly, like the line above, instead of pretending.

Breakdown help

Stopped on the shoulder? Say so. Buddy does the calling around.

Tell Buddy what happened. It asks at most one question, then reads reviews, hours and payment options while you deal with the truck. You get a short spoken comparison and the exact details to give on the phone. You start it, and Buddy never calls anyone on its own.

Driving mode

You drive. Buddy keeps working.

Once you tap Go, Buddy keeps going in the background. It checks the lot from above, moves your route to the truck entrance, calls out every turn, and answers when you ask something. Nothing to tap, and every word is on screen too.
