Why We Built Truck Me

The Problem
Every day, thousands of heavy vehicle drivers across Australia rely on Facebook groups to warn each other about road closures, bridge heights, and restricted roads. The apps that exist crash, overheat, route on the wrong roads, and warn about bridge heights after you've already committed to the road.
What We're Building
Truck Me is built on NHVR data, the same data source the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator uses. When you select your vehicle type, every route we give you uses only the roads approved for that vehicle.
Key Differences
- NHVR-direct routing, not guesswork, not outdated maps
- Two-stage bridge warnings, alert at the turn before the road, then again at 500m approach
- Community incidents, real-time reports from drivers, replacing scattered Facebook posts
- Route intelligence, see when the approved route differs from the fastest, so you can make informed decisions
- Built in Flutter, native performance, no JS bridge overhead, no overheating
When
We're targeting an Australian launch in 2026. Join the waitlist at trucksheet.au to get early access.
