Our Mission
We help people and their assets to Arrive Safely.
We focus on helping individuals and companies manage weather-related transportation risk. These may be personal risks (e.g., taking a cross-country trip with the family) or business endeavors (e.g., ensuring that your fleet arrives on time and without unnecessary delays). Providing proactive and actionable forecasting of changing weather conditions is our constant focus.
Our Values
To achieve our mission, we remain firmly grounded in our core values. Chief amongst these is to help people.
We strive to help people improve their lives.
We treat every customer like a mentor. We never think we know better than the customer.
This mindset is pervasive throughout our company and is what sets us apart from other companies related to our space. Don't believe us? Check out our public responses to app reviews since 2013 and compare with what you see elsewhere.
If you find examples where we have failed, let us know and help us improve! Become a new mentor for us.
Inception
Our mission began in 2012 as a personal project of one of the founders, Devan Stormont, after deciding to cancel a holiday trip to visit the extended family for the sake of safety. Unsatisfied with the state of the art for weather forecasting travel, he built the first iteration of what would later become Highway Weather. Originally incubated within Voyage Studios LLC, the app came to see broader adoption by a variety of users.
Today
Today, the app has grown into the Weather Route ecosystem. We provide services to end users, logistics businesses, and government. Some of these services are apps (public and private) and some are technologies we provide to help other organizations grow.
We are headquartered in Reno, Nevada. For members of the media, find our press kit here.
