Import your permit photo or PDF 2. The app reads your route instructions automatically 3. Verify each intersection on your route 4. Get turn-by-turn GPS navigation on your approved route BUILT FOR TRUCKERS BillyGo is designed specifically for commercial truck drivers carrying oversize or overweight loads. Unlike consumer GPS apps, BillyGo follows the exact route on your permit — not the fastest car route. - Permit-based routing: follows your approved route instructions - Intersection verification: every turn on your permit is verified before you drive - Off-permit warnings: color-coded route segments show on-permit (blue), caution (yellow), and off-permit (red) roads - Manual fix tools: place missing intersections, add anchor points, and adjust waypoints - Voice navigation: clear turn-by-turn directions with road names SAFETY FIRST Every intersection is verified before you drive. Missing intersections are flagged for manual placement — the app never silently skips a turn. Off-permit road segments are highlighted so you can navigate with full awareness. CURRENT COVERAGE Louisiana is fully supported. Texas is in development. With Full Service, our team builds the route from your permit in any state.
