TravelCenters of America LLC (TA) has released version 2.0 of its TruckSmart mobile application for Android and iPhone smartphone platforms. TruckSmart 2.0 gives professional drivers the power to access their UltraONE Rewards Program account information including points balances, shower credits, and recent transactions without stopping at the driver kiosk.
TruckSmart 2.0 also features upgraded search capabilities, and each location's amenities screen has a place to show special at-location promotions and events. Navigational enhancements also make it easier to find locations and amenities within the app.
Other enhancements built into the new version include the ability for users to search for locations by highway, to share their location coordinates, and to place a call to TA customer service with the press of a button. The new instant shower feature tells the driver if there's a wait for a shower and will alert the driver when the shower is ready for them. Ready showers will be held open for 15 minutes.
The app continues to feature the capabilities from Version 1.0, released March 1, 2011, including restaurant, service and travel store specials; location mapping and directions to all TA and Petro locations; site amenities; one-touch calling for RoadSquad 24-hour emergency roadside assistance; as well as real time shower wait times and parking space availability (updated every two hours).
New app users can download TruckSmart 2.0 at http://www.tatravelcenters.com/trucksmart. TruckSmart 1.0 users will see an update notification on their smartphone app screen.
TA continues to work on more TruckSmart capabilities and expects to release Version 3.0 soon.
