TA Launches Phone App for Android Users

TravelCenters of America, the second-largest U.S. truck-stop chain, said it launched a version of its TruckSmart mobile software for Google Inc.’s Android operating system.

TruckSmart is phone-based software that tracks fuel prices, available parking and other amenities at 228 TA locations.

The software also includes the locations of, and turn directions to, truck stops.

The TruckSmart app first appeared in March on Apple Inc.’s iPhone handset. Further updates for the app are planned for both operating systems, TA said.
