Throtl is the intelligence layer for oilfield logistics — a mobile app purpose-built for the people doing the work. Oilfield trucking runs on guesswork: posted road limits change seasonally, bond data lives in scattered records, and job sites arrive as screenshots at 5 AM. Throtl brings clarity, safety, and accountability to every haul. SEARCH & NAVIGATE PADS Find oil & gas locations and follow operator-approved ingress and egress routes. Get turn-by-turn guidance to well pads and job sites — not generic highway directions. ROUTES YOU CAN TRUST Use pre-planned routes tied to real operational data. See site-specific instructions and stay on paths your operator or dispatcher intended. POSTED ROAD & SAFETY AWARENESS Surface the information that helps prevent costly mistakes — seasonal restrictions, posted limits, and community road concerns — before you roll. FAVORITES & JOBS Save locations you run often. View jobs assigned to you and run the routes your company expects. BUILT FOR HAULERS Throtl is made for independent haulers, sand and water trucks, and drivers working pads across Pennsylvania and beyond. Simple enough to use from day one — no training manual required. A SHARED RECORD Throtl connects drivers, dispatchers, and operators around the same locations and routes — so everyone has visibility on what’s happening in the field. IMPORTANT Throtl provides routing and reference information aggregated from public and operational sources. Road conditions, postings, bonds, and permits can change. Always verify limits, site access, and local requirements before driving. Throtl does not replace your judgment, company policies, or applicable laws.
