Unfortunately, that was proven in October 2013

Exactly! Most of the board members are from the major trucking companies.

 

ELDs just offer the megas a way to alter the logs with no paper trail, and don't tell me they can't do it because they're doing it already.

 

ATA will fight for anything that will put their clients competition out of business. thats not really unbelievable or surprising for that matter.

 

If your cell phone is on, it can be tracked.

 

It can be tracked as long as theres a battery in it, doesn't have to be on

 

I thought it was only smartphones and thats as long as they are not in airplane mode.

 

Could be but I was told by a police officer that as long as theres a battery in the phone, they could find out where the phone was at? Which based on what Snowden said, I would not doubt it.

 

Believe they can even find where it has been through the pinging with the towers for a signal.
