Sitting and Waiting Blog

We know what’s it like sitting and waiting for cargo that’s why we launched our app. In this blog we will talk about the spots to wait for.

As you know or became familiar there are the typical spots where you would wait. Truck stops and grocery store parking lots. We agree that these typical locations like truck stops are the safest areas to wait overnight and rest. However during the day time you are there with several other vehicles that want the same thing as you. Get a load and get out of there as quickly as possibly.

That’s why we have our app so you know exactly where to go to limit your wait. We suggest driving close to our spots in the daytime to improve your chances, then checking in with your dispatch with your new location. Ideally with more users we are gonna be able to grow our app out so you can get loads directly through us and not have to check in and not have to wait!

When it comes to waiting obviously some places will not have enough space for large trucks or even sprinters but that’s why we give full access to our map. The premium map includes search features so you can search for grocery stores, parking spots, truck stops, coffee, etc and even get directions to these areas. You will be surprised to find out how quickly you get loads out of certain areas. Even knowing the zip codes and hot areas you can find grocery stores or other public places to park your vehicle near by.

Feel free to share some stories or spots you stayed during your career as an expediter.
