## What is RigCast?

RigCast turns the forecast into one clear call for truckers: GO, CAUTION, WAIT, or SHUT DOWN. No charts to read, no guessing — just tell it where you're headed and it reads the whole route for you, mile by mile.

Built for the cab, not the office.

THE ONE QUESTION, ANSWERED
Should you keep driving, slow down, reroute, or shut down? RigCast gives you one verdict with the reason in one line. That's the whole point.

TRAILER-AWARE RISK SCORING
Regular weather apps don't know an empty dry van gets shoved across a lane by a crosswind a loaded reefer wouldn't even feel. RigCast does. It factors your trailer type and load into the crosswind math, segment by segment, so the call fits your truck.

CHAIN LAW ALERTS
Heading over a pass in winter? RigCast shows the state code, how many tires to chain, the mile range, and the last chain-up spot before the climb. No surprises at the summit.

COLOR-CODED RISK MAP
Your real highway, drawn in green, amber, and red. See exactly where the trouble starts and where it ends before you roll up on it.

STORM WINDOWS
When conditions go bad, when they clear, and the last safe truck stop before the hazard. Time your run or park it on purpose.

LIVE WARNINGS + RADAR
Real-time severe weather alerts — high wind, blizzard, ice storm, tornado, severe thunderstorm — mapped onto your route, plus an animated radar overlay so you can see the storm that's physically there.

VOICE IN, VOICE OUT
Enter a trip by voice — "Laramie to Rawlins" — and hear your alerts read out loud. Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road.

DRIVING MODE
Big, glanceable numbers and a screen that stays on. Set it on the dash and forget the fiddling.

THE CB ROAD FEED
Drivers post what they see — chains, closures, police and scales, weather, open parking — and everyone on the road sees it. Like the CB, but it follows your route. Earn a handle and a reputation as your calls hold up.

YOUR RECORD
RigScore is a safe-decision score that grows as you check conditions and heed the warnings. Track the states you've rolled through and the safe calls you've made.

WEATHER YOU CAN TRUST
RigCast runs on official U.S. National Weather Service data. U.S. routes only for now.

—
Advisory only. RigCast is a planning aid, not a guarantee. Conditions change fast — always use your own judgment, follow official road and weather sources, and obey all laws and posted restrictions.
