## What is Trucker Route 511 Weather Map?

Trucker Route is a real-time map and trip-planning companion built for professional truck drivers, owner-operators, dispatchers, and fleet managers across the United States.

Get live road conditions, weather hazards, mountain-pass chain requirements, and truck-specific routing - all in one fast, ad-free app powered by official US government data.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Real-time road incidents from 40+ state DOTs
  Accidents, closures, construction, and weather-related events. Pulled directly from Caltrans, TxDOT, Iowa 511, North Dakota 511, Oregon TripCheck, WSDOT, and dozens more — refreshed continuously throughout the day.

• NWS weather alerts with severity coloring
  Active National Weather Service watches, warnings, and advisories - tornado, blizzard, high wind, ice storm, flood — overlaid on the map with shape outlines so you can see exactly which counties are affected.

• Mountain passes & chain law requirements
  Tracks open / closed / chains-required status on hundreds of mountain passes across the western US. Pulsing markers highlight passes where chains are currently active.

• Truck-aware route planning
  Enter origin and destination and get a corridor view with hazards listed by mile marker. Live traffic congestion shows where you'll lose time. Switch between "Live Traffic" and "Standard" profiles.

• Active wildfires & smoke plumes
  NASA FIRMS hotspots and NIFC fire perimeters layered with NOAA HMS smoke polygons. Critical when planning western and southwestern routes during fire season.

• Earthquakes, flood gauges & FEMA disasters
  USGS earthquake feed (M 2.5+), NOAA NWPS river gauge water levels, and active federal disaster declarations.

• Major interstate atlas
  All 25 major US interstates with shield icons, length, regions, and direct links to the full corridor view on trucker-route.com.

• US trucking statistics
  Per-state FMCSA carrier census, NHTSA fatal-crash data, and FHWA highway infrastructure — sortable, searchable.

• National Parks for off-duty time
  45 interstate-reachable national parks with rich detail pages: hero photos, scenic highlights, truck/RV access notes, and gateway towns with parking.

• Chain laws by state
  Complete reference for Colorado, California, Wyoming, Oregon, and Washington — when they activate, who they apply to, and what the fines look like.

 BUILT FOR THE ROAD 

• Dark map style designed for night driving
• One-tap layer toggles
• Offline tile cache (lasts through dead zones)
• Auto-refresh option pulls fresh data every 20 minutes
• Optimized for iPhone and iPad
