The NSA has a couple of very large and powerful data center type operations around the US. These actually listen to all of the cell phone traffic looking for various ways criminals are plotting to commit crimes. They have been reading your emails for a long time, like decades. Also have internet crawlers that search for same type of information posted on the interweb. Think that web site is secret and secure….might want to think again. While most of this is all digital, no human actually “sees” it, unless the system alerts for a reason, or it reports results from program search parameters. Algorithms are primarily used to detect the behavioral patterns of the target group.

ELDs are mostly edited from the company side. FMCSA lets carriers that choose to use an ELD that's self-certified or certified by some shady made up group. The non-domiciled CDL monsters are having their ELD provided/edited by overseas companies that don't share the info with roadside inspectors. Better to have driver shutdown 10 hours than to show the cops he hasn't slept since the Obama admin.

The Kia was probably owned by a Driver. The log on display was probably his own. Mine is currently down loaded on my phone. That reminds me, I need to get rid of it. I imagine Dispatch can see my location. Not sure how that works. The Eld app is Samsura. That wouldn’t be good if I say I’m out of State, and not available to report to work. I’ve got enough to worry about with the impending Zombie Apocalypse as it is.
