RigCast
Truck-aware weather and road risk
For OTR truckers, owner-operators, and small fleets
Consumer weather apps do not know an empty dry van gets shoved across a lane by a crosswind a loaded reefer never feels. RigCast scores road risk with truck physics — trailer type, load, and route exposure — then gives one verdict: Go, Caution, Wait, or Shut Down. Chain-law alerts, storm windows, a color-coded risk map, and hands-free voice keep the answer glanceable at 70 mph.
// features
Go, Caution, Wait, or Shut Down — factoring trailer type and load, with a one-line reason for the call. The verdict is always free.
Scores the gust component across your direction of travel and applies a sail-susceptibility multiplier — an empty dry van is not a loaded tanker.
Flags when your route crosses commercial passes in winter — state, tires required, mile range, and the last chain-up spot.
Your real highway drawn green, amber, and red segment by segment, so you see where trouble starts before you reach it.
Official NWS warnings, animated radar, and predicted arrival/clear times — plus the last safe truck stop before a hazard.
Enter routes by voice and hear verdicts read aloud. Driving mode shows big, glanceable numbers for a dash mount.
