The trucker's cheat sheet: 7 ways to get the most out of HGVDriver.com

HGVDriver.com describes itself as built by drivers, for drivers. Here's how to make it your cheat sheet for the road.

1. Filter ruthlessly

Turn off what you don't need. Nighting out? Overnight parking and Truckstop only. Running short on hours? Break parking.

2. Read the notes

The driver who added a pin often tells you exactly where to park on site — like the A1 North tip to pull up "next to the bus stop".

3. Check the satellite view

Zoom in to see the layout and entrance before you commit.

4. Use Go to

Each pin has a Go to button and copyable coordinates for your sat nav. Set it before you move off.

5. Mark where you've been

Hit I've been here and rate the spot. It keeps the map honest.

6. Join a DLC pack

Got a code from your firm or mates? Enter it to unlock their private pins, or browse free community packs.

7. Add what you know

Right-click or long-press where the spot is, fill in the details and submit. Once approved, you earn XP, climb the leaderboard and work towards medals.

And the golden rule: never use the map while driving. Pull over safely first.
