I would just have the driver use their own, whatever he/she is comfortable with, things the boss buys get beat up
-
Well I want to instal one that driver doesn't know about, which tracks him, mileage consumption, speed, maintenance update etc..

what you are actually asking about is all in the ecm depending on the truck (newer usually has it built in, frequently with a dash display that the driver (or tech or anyone with a brain) can just cycle through to get the data they need, if you dont know this already and havent bought the truck, DONT, you will go under and make enemies out of employeesimup4it, ramblingman and Starboyjim Thank this. -
As there are decent driver out there such as yourself mr. Skallagrime, there are scums that would not follow instructions, not be responsible with you track etc... I am ok with driver knowing that there is a tracking device on the truck, but I don't want them to disconnect it. I am not purchasing brand new trucks, so it doesn't have it.Verdel Thanks this. -

I mean I agree with skallagrime

i know the rand mcnally elogs do what you want.
it also transmits any problems with the driver or ecm. does logs. and routing.
it transmits everything to a server which you can log into with your own account.
in spite of the naysayers. what you ask for isn't that big a deal. you wouldn't be the only man or company doing what you ask.Starboyjim Thanks this. -
If a driver would disconnect it, is that the kind of driver you want working for you??? Get it, tell him its there, find a way to lock it up so cant get to it then go about your business but like the others I wouldnt drive for you either. Asking this question, to me implies you know nothing bout driving a truck. I wouldnt drive for an owner who knows nothing bout trucks, if im going with a small fleet like yours.
ramblingman and Starboyjim Thank this.
