Let them track your truck?

Well, it’s pretty much becoming industry standard so not much we can do about it other then get your own customers. Even then, some may require it. I don’t like the lack of privacy but after seeing it in action from the broker side, it’s not intrusive at all as far as anything other then your location. (As far as Macropoint goes, don’t know about the others)

The ELD’s are the invasion of what your doing. Those companies sell all your info to companies like freight waves who then profit off the data.

 

They’re not tracking the your truck, your elog knows by gps.
They are tracking you! They want to know where you are, whike their load is in your care!
That’s why they’re tracking through your phone!!
You always have someone looking over your shoulder, tell them you charge $50 for tracking to be enabled, and this is guy that’ll handle your case.

 

I turned off keeptruckin eld and removed it from my truck. I have garmin eld now... I don't want to be tracked, I don't want somebody to see me pickup/delivery locations and bol numbers...

 

You think the Garmin ELD doesnt do the exact same thing as KT?

 

no. Garmin eld is different. your data is stored in your tablet.

 

If drivers and carriers were better at communicating via check calls, tracking apps wouldn't exist.

 

Yes .

 

You know what, I remember you once posted about getting KT and I followed suit.
Now, I am thinking about getting Garmin too. Especially, that I am in demand for a new GPS.
I paid KT through September but they do get on my nerve with all the data acquisition. Garmin is cheaper in the long run. I assume, it is 100% compliant with the ELD mandate (not ABORD mode)

 

I think I have every tracking app there is on my phone.
