Company Boilerplate
Truck Me is an Australian heavy vehicle navigation app that routes trucks, B-Doubles, Road Trains, and PBS vehicles exclusively on NHVR-approved roads. Unlike consumer GPS apps, Truck Me reads the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator network data directly for each vehicle class, providing turn-by-turn navigation that stays legally compliant. The app includes two-stage bridge clearance warnings, real-time community incident reporting, offline maps by state, and a built-in driver logbook. Truck Me is developed in Australia for Australian heavy vehicle operators.

Key Facts
What Makes Truck Me Different
Direct NHVR API routing
Routes calculated against the NHVR approved heavy vehicle network for each vehicle class. Not third-party road data.
Two-stage bridge warnings
Warning before the driver turns onto the road, then at 500m. Uses vehicle height from the driver's profile.
Community incident reporting
In-app incident pins replacing Facebook trucking groups. Real-time, auto-expiring, shared between drivers.
Offline maps by state
Full NHVR overlay downloadable by state before departure. Works with no mobile signal.
Suggested Story Angles
These themes have broad interest across transport, technology, and safety reporting.
Why consumer GPS is the wrong tool for heavy vehicles
Google Maps and Apple Maps route on any open road with no awareness of the NHVR approved heavy vehicle network. This sends trucks down roads their combination is not legally permitted to use.
The $6,000 mistake: routing compliance for heavy vehicle operators
Operating on a non-approved road is a Heavy Vehicle National Law breach. Fines start above $6,000. Truck Me is built around preventing this by routing directly from NHVR network data.
Bridge strikes: what early warning actually means
Existing apps warn drivers at the bridge. Truck Me warns before the driver turns onto the road. The two-stage warning system uses vehicle height from the driver's profile and OSM bridge clearance data.
Why truck drivers still use Facebook for incident reporting
Australian trucking groups on Facebook have tens of thousands of members sharing real-time road conditions. Truck Me replaces this with in-app incident pins, auto-expiry, and real-time sharing.
