## Description

Hammer: Truck GPS & Maps is a truck-specific navigation app from TruckersReport.com. It delivers precision routing for commercial vehicles, with turn-by-turn directions that account for your truck’s height, length, weight, axle count, and cargo type. Offline maps and real-time rerouting help you stay on schedule, even without cellular data.

It also includes a rich set of truck-focused features: trip planning, multi-stop routing with custom waypoints, weigh stations, fuel stops, rest areas, parking, and safety alerts like speed limits and lane guidance. Coverage spans the United States (including Alaska & Hawaii), Canada, and Mexico. Developed by the TruckersReport community to empower drivers with smarter, safer, and more efficient journeys.
