Feature: Truck-Specific Routing

Routes Custom to YOUR Truck

Not all trucks are the same. Why should your routes be?

Enter your height, width, and weight once. Change weight dynamically for each load. Get routes built specifically for YOUR truck—not generic "truck routes" that assume every truck in North America is identical.

Generic "Truck Mode" Isn't Good Enough

Most truck GPS apps treat every truck the same. But a 48' flatbed running empty isn't the same as a 53' reefer loaded to 80,000 lbs. Your routes should know the difference.

Truck HeightAssumes standard 13'6" for all trucksUses YOUR exact height (11' flatbed? 14' reefer? We know.)

Set Up Once, Route Forever

When you first open Argus Nav, you'll enter your truck's dimensions:

Height

Your exact clearance height for low bridge warnings

Width

For tight roads, construction zones, and narrow passages

Weight

Change this per load—routes update instantly

Your Truck Profile

13' 6"
8' 6"
72,000 lbs

Height and width stay constant. Weight? Change it with one tap for each load.

Key Differentiator

Change Weight for Each Load, Lane, or Day

Your weight changes constantly. Running empty to pick up a load? Loaded to max capacity? Partial load? Your routes should change too.

Running Empty

34,000 lbs

More route options available. Can use some weight-restricted roads.

Partial Load

58,000 lbs

Some restrictions apply. Routes adjusted for medium weight.

Max Load

80,000 lbs

Strictest routing. Avoids all weight-restricted roads and bridges.

Change weight in one tap. Routes recalculate in seconds.

Built for How Truckers Actually Work

Change Weight Per Load

Running empty today? Heavy load tomorrow? Update your weight in seconds. Your routes adjust instantly.

Multiple Vehicle Profiles

Drive different trucks? Save multiple profiles. Switch between them with one tap before each trip.

Real-Time Route Updates

Change your weight mid-route? We recalculate immediately. No need to start over.

Remember Your Settings

Your truck profile stays saved. Start each day ready to go—no re-entering dimensions.

Driver-Centric Design

The Most Driver-Centric Navigation App on the Planet

Because it's designed by drivers and owners together—not by software engineers who've never spent a day behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler.

From Real Drivers
"Other apps are built by software engineers who've never driven a truck. Argus was built with us."

Designed WITH drivers, not FOR drivers

From Real Drivers
"I shouldn't have to re-enter my truck dimensions every time I change my load weight."

Weight changes are ONE tap, not a full setup

From Real Drivers
"My truck isn't like every other truck. Why should my GPS treat it that way?"

YOUR truck, YOUR routes—not generic 'truck mode'

Built With Drivers, For Drivers

Every feature in Argus Nav came from real conversations with truckers and fleet owners. We didn't guess what you need—we asked. And we keep asking, because the best navigation app is one that evolves with the drivers who use it.

Why Truck-Specific Routing Matters

Faster Routes When Running Light

When you're empty, you can use roads that heavy loads can't. Generic truck GPS apps don't know you're running light—so they give you the long way around anyway. Argus knows, and routes you accordingly.

Safer Routes When Loaded Heavy

At max weight, you need routes that avoid every restricted bridge and road. Argus knows your exact weight and keeps you on roads that can handle it.

No More "One Size Fits All"

A 14' reefer isn't a 12' box truck. An 80,000 lb load isn't the same as running bobtail. Stop using navigation that treats your truck like every other truck on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Argus Nav handle truck-specific routing?

When you set up Argus Nav, you enter your truck's exact dimensions: height, width, and weight. Every route is then calculated specifically for YOUR truck—not generic "truck routes." The key difference is you can change your weight dynamically for each load, and routes update instantly.

Can I change my truck weight for different loads?

Yes! This is one of our most-requested features. Update your weight with one tap before each trip. Running empty? Heavy load? Partial? Just change the weight and get a new route optimized for that specific load. Your height and width stay saved—only the weight needs updating.

What if I drive multiple trucks?

Save multiple vehicle profiles in the app. Driving the day cab today? The sleeper tomorrow? Switch between saved profiles with one tap. Each profile remembers its own dimensions.

What makes Argus Nav more driver-centric?

Argus Nav was designed by drivers and fleet owners together—not just software engineers. Features like one-tap weight changes, multiple vehicle profiles, and instant route recalculation came directly from driver feedback. We built the app around how truckers actually work, not how engineers think they work.

Do other truck GPS apps offer this?

Most truck GPS apps let you enter dimensions once, but changing weight per load is often buried in settings or requires re-entering everything. Argus Nav was built from the ground up with dynamic weight changes as a core feature—not an afterthought.

Your Truck. Your Load. Your Routes.

Stop using navigation that treats every truck the same. Get routes custom to YOUR truck, YOUR load, YOUR day.
