Iowa 511 Trucker

Iowa 511 Trucker is the Iowa Department of Transportation's (DOT) official traffic and traveler information app for commercial vehicle operators. The Iowa 511 Trucker app provides statewide up-to-date traffic information for interstates, U.S. routes and state highways in Iowa. It does not include information for county roads or city streets.

• A zoom-enabled map with selectable traffic event icons and surrounding camera views

• Near real-time updates on winter road conditions, truck restrictions, traffic incidents, construction, and road closures

• Access and create Your 511 personalized saved routes and alerts (e.g. Home to Work).

• Commercial vehicle restriction information

• Travel time delays associated with traffic reports (look for the orange glowing icons)

• Current traffic speeds

• Traffic camera images and streaming video

• Snow plow camera images and locations

• Towing prohibited (tow ban) events for winter storms

• Rest area locations statewide including real-time truck parking availability at rest areas and select private truck stops along I-80, and portions of I-29, I-35, I-235, and I-380.

• Weigh station locations

• Citizen reports via Waze

• Electronic roadway sign messages

NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease device battery life.

The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of their vehicle. While traveling, mobile communication devices should be used only when the motor vehicle is at a complete stop off the traveled portion of the roadway. Do not text and drive (it's against the law) or use this app while driving.
