    Hello! My name is Chris Jenkins.

    My friends and I are launching a fleet tracking software startup and I want your advice.


    • What are the most important features we should include?
    • How much should we charge per vehicle/month?
    • GPS transponder, cell phone tracking, both?

    I'm looking forward to your answers and help.

    You can stuff your "Cell Phone tracking" in a sack! Koch Logistics tried to get me to do that on a brokered load....and I told them they could "stuff their cell phone tracking" in a sack! But since they already had my phone number, I got text after text after text after text from them with a link to an App for cell phone tracking. That is....until I called them and told them to STOP...then they yanked the load out from under me after I had already bounced 46 miles to pick it up.

    I hate brokers that constantly bug me, and want check calls 3 times a day---but NOBODY is gonna want someone tracking their personal equipment...and my phone is MINE...not some over zealous broker or company.

    Even if a trucking company wants to reimburse me for a portion of my cell bill as a requirement for having a cell phone---they still do not own the phone and/or take care of the entire cost, so they don't get free reign of the phone or its' capabilities.
