The

Challenge

TruckSpot first launched in 2017 to address a major challenge in the trucking industry—finding safe, reliable parking on the road. The app connects drivers who need parking with lot owners who can rent out unused spaces, creating a community-driven solution.

The challenge was to identify feasible UX and UI improvements within budget and development constraints that would enhance the app’s value. Drivers consistently reported the app was difficult to use, hard to navigate, and at times caused mistrust.

I was tasked with leading the redesign of the driver experience, focusing on delivering key improvements within a tight two-month timeline for design, development, and testing. The goal was to optimize clarity, speed, and usability by prioritizing the most impactful user flows for drivers, while supporting lot owner needs.

Process & Approach

After aligning with the project manager on goals and constraints, I set out to understand the driver experience through app store reviews, in-app exploration, and competitive analysis. The insights were clear — drivers needed a faster, more transparent way to search, reserve, and manage parking.

​We prioritized the flows that would have the biggest impact within scope: search and booking, reservation management, and account management. The app also required a complete UI refresh — its heavy use of red and yellow created legibility issues, so we refined the color palette and visual hierarchy to improve clarity and accessibility.

  • Collected original app screens to analyze the user flow, identify gaps, and uncover opportunities for improvement.

  • Sample of sketches for re-design concepts to address user flow gaps and improved UX.

Design Solutions

To tackle usability challenges and frustration reported by drivers, the redesigned TruckSpot app simplifies key tasks like searching and reserving parking spots by clearly displaying essential information such as truck size compatibility, check-in/out times, and reservation details.

Visually, the app received a fresh, modern UI update that improves legibility and trust through a refined color palette and clearer visual hierarchy, making it easier for users to confidently manage their parking needs on the go.
