STL Apps LLC

Three apps for the oversize haul.

Permit Path, HaulPath, and Pilot Car 4 Hire. We built them, and we still run them. One holds the permit route. One shows what the load requires. One finds the pilot car.

Story

Built for the job, then kept running.

Oversize freight runs on a stack of state rules, a route the permit actually allows, and a pilot car when the load needs one. We built an app for each of those, because the paper and the phone calls were the job.

HaulPath is the check before the truck moves. Permit Path is the path you are allowed to drive. In Texas, import the TxPROS permit and the app loads the exact route from the TxPROS website. Pilot Car 4 Hire is the free call list when an escort has to be on the move. Same company. Three different jobs. All live on iOS, Android, and the web.

STL Apps LLC is Sean Tyler Lee’s company. He designs the apps, ships them, and keeps them updated for people who use them on the haul.
