Frequently Asked Questions
When should I check in if I'm driving all day?
Set it for your usual rest stop time or when you typically park for the night. Many drivers check in at their evening stop.
What if I'm in an area with no cell service?
Check in when you reach an area with service. If you know you'll be off-grid, let your contact know in advance so they don't worry.
Can my dispatcher be my emergency contact?
Your contact can be anyone—spouse, family member, or even a dispatcher. Choose whoever would take action fastest if alerted.
Does this work for international trucking routes?
Yes. The app works anywhere with internet. Cross-border routes in North America, Europe, or anywhere else are fully supported.
I am on the road for two weeks at a time. Will my wife really feel less anxious with just one check-in a day?
Drivers' families consistently report that a daily check-in transforms their experience. Instead of worrying every hour, they check once a day that you are safe. That single data point replaces an entire day of uncertainty.
When should a long-haul driver check in?
Most drivers set their check-in for a consistent point in the day that happens regardless of route, such as when they park for the night at a truck stop or reach their rest break. You can move the time whenever your schedule shifts. The aim is a steady anchor so a missed check-in clearly signals a possible problem on the road, rather than trying to match an irregular driving log hour by hour.
What if I lose signal on a remote stretch of highway?
The check-in needs internet only for the brief moment you tap it, not the whole time you drive. Check in when you reach an area with signal, such as a truck stop or a town, and you are covered for the day. If you know a route will keep you off-grid for a long stretch, tell your contact in advance so an expected gap does not read as an emergency. The app uses very little data, so weak signal is usually enough.
