10 seconds, not 15 minutes.
Argus watches 45,000 DOT highway cameras live and detects crashes, stalls, and forming backups before any crowdsourced app knows what happened. You reroute while everyone else is still typing in the report.
The crowd is too slow.
Every other crash alert app waits for a driver to see the wreck, pull out a phone, open the app, and file a report. Then other drivers have to confirm it. By the time the alert reaches your screen, you are already a mile deep in the backup, watching the trucks ahead of you brake.
Time to alert, by app.
Cameras. Vision. Alert. Reroute.
45,000 DOT feeds, watched every second.
Argus pulls live feeds from public DOT highway cameras across every major US corridor. The infrastructure already exists. We just stopped letting it sit unused.
Computer vision runs on every frame.
Argus models look for crashes, stalls, debris, emergency vehicles, and sudden slowdowns. When the model fires, the incident is verified in seconds without waiting on a driver to file a report.
Push alert with backup estimate.
You get the location, the type of incident, and an estimated backup time. The alert lands on your phone in under 10 seconds, while the rest of the road is still figuring out what happened.
Truck safe alternate, ready to take.
The suggested alternate route is filtered for your truck profile, so the workaround does not drop you under a low bridge. One tap and you are around the backup before it builds.
Anything that will back up traffic ahead of you.
Crashes
Multi vehicle and single vehicle accidents, rollovers, anything that pulls lanes out of service.
Stalls + debris
Disabled vehicles, blown tires, dropped freight, anything physically blocking the lane.
Sudden slowdowns
Deceleration patterns that signal forming congestion, often the first signal before the incident itself.
Emergency activity
Police, fire, ambulance staging or pulling onto the corridor. Often the only signal something is about to back up.
Weather events
Visibility drops, snow squalls, fog walls visible on the camera feed.
Lane closures
Construction setups, cones, work crews moving in. Often known minutes before any DOT feed publishes it.
Where OTR miles actually run.
Every major interstate. Every dense metro corridor. The roads you spend your day on are the roads with the densest DOT camera coverage, and Argus is on every one of them.
One avoided backup pays for the year.
$4.99/mo or $49.99/yr. Cancel anytime. Crash alerts are included in every plan.
Questions drivers actually ask about crash alerts.
How fast are Argus crash alerts?+
Under 10 seconds from incident on the camera feed to alert on your phone. Compare to 10 to 15 minutes on Waze, Google Maps, or Trucker Path, which all wait for users to report the incident, for other users to confirm, and for the alert to propagate. Argus skips that loop entirely because we watch the camera, not the crowd.
How many cameras does Argus watch?+
Over 45,000 DOT highway cameras across 50+ metro areas, every interstate corridor, and most major US highways. Computer vision runs continuously on every feed, 24 hours a day, looking for crashes, stopped vehicles, sudden slowdowns, debris, and emergency vehicle activity.
What kinds of incidents does it detect?+
Multi vehicle crashes, single vehicle accidents, rollovers, stopped or disabled vehicles in lanes, debris on the roadway, emergency vehicle activity, sudden deceleration patterns that signal forming congestion, and weather related slowdowns where visibility drops on camera. Anything that will back up traffic ahead of you gets flagged.
How does it actually save me money?+
Sitting two hours in a backup at $210 an hour earnings is $420 of lost time, on top of fuel burned idling. Avoid that backup once a month and Argus has paid for the year five times over. Average target savings per truck per month is about $150 in avoided delays, before you count missed delivery windows or HOS clock impact.
Does it reroute me automatically?+
You get a push notification with the incident location, an estimated backup time, and a suggested alternate route. You decide whether to take it. The alternate is filtered for your truck profile (height, weight, axle count, HazMat class) so no rerouting around a crash drops you under a low bridge.
How does this compare to Waze?+
Waze is built on user reports. A driver sees the crash, pulls out the phone, opens the app, reports it, then other drivers have to confirm before the alert propagates. By the time the alert is on your screen, you are 10 to 15 minutes into the backup. Argus reads the camera directly. The crash gets detected the moment it happens, not the moment a driver decides to report it.
What coverage do I get?+
50+ metro areas, all major interstates, expanding constantly. The camera network covers the corridors OTR drivers actually run: I-10, I-20, I-40, I-70, I-80, I-90, I-95, plus most state highways with DOT camera infrastructure. If a road has a camera, Argus is probably watching it.
Will it work in rural areas without cameras?+
In areas without DOT camera coverage, Argus falls back to crowdsourced incident data from other users plus state DOT incident feeds. Coverage is best in the camera dense corridors where most OTR miles are run. Pure backroad runs through camera deserts will rely more on the fallback layers.

Stop sitting in backups you could have avoided.
45,000 DOT cameras watched live. Argus pings 10 to 15 minutes before the crowdsourced apps. The reroute lands on your phone before the brake lights ahead.
