Waze for Trucks
Trucks are almost 5% of all traffic in the US (1). But there isn't a great navigation app yet. Waze should create an option / app for truckers.
Editors can give in the following restrictions:
- Closed for trucks / RV's;
- Closed for vehicles longer than X meter / feet;
- Closed for vehicles wider than X meter / feet;
- Closed for vehicles higher than X meter / feet;
- Closed for vehicles with an axle load more than X tons;
- Closed for vehicles heavier than X tons;
- Closed for trucks with hazardous substances;
- Closed for vehicles with more than X axles.
Truckers give in the data of the truck and the max. speed (ETA).
This feature creates a whole new audience for Waze.

Thank you for your suggestion!
We are currently not planning on adding truck suited routing options.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

How I wish Waze would add van options! I drive a hired van for work a couple of times a month and would love to be able to rely on Waze to get me to site, but it’s a big problem when it tries to send me via width restrictions & low bridges!!

But a lot of users are truck drivers and there is a high demand for the app to personalise for trucks

Agree that low clearance is needed. I currently use WAZE for basic travel but have to check other apps such as rvparky to ck for low bridges for my RV. I keep looking for an alternative. Hammer by Trucker Report may help.

One of the biggest concerns of an RVer is low clearance. Adding this feature would greatly help a quickly growing segment of the population. Please consider this for the safety of many of your users.

Height restrictions is a HUGE deal for Professional drivers, RVrs and "van lifers" I don't understand

Please add this option for Waze, I had to figure the other way around before. It took the time for me to figure out a different way around if that route works for my RV. This would be a huge help. Please add this feature to save time and avoid traffic congestion. Thanks so much!

PLEASE!! Waze NEEDS an RV/Trucker mod/app/option. My 12.5ft high, 31ft long Class A RV towing a 20ft enclosed trailer often can't go where the auto re-route sends you.

Please add restrictions for RVs. I use waze in my vehicle all time, but can't when I'm towing my RV.

A professional HGV driver's height, weight and length restrictions incorporated into the WAZE would be a godsend !
