Truckerswelcome is an open source project developed by volunteers in the tech community to help our front line workers who are facing significant challenges while on the road keeping goods and supplies flowing to our grocery stores, hospitals and communities. Truckers Welcome helps drivers find services that are still available near them during this crisis, using the location on their smartphone. This project is made possible by our generous sponsors and volunteers.
