    Got a load today and had too download macropoint tracking software. So far two major companies one being TQL has called me and ask if I had a truck in the area that I was in. Coincidences? I think not. Always thought there been a Hugh amount of data collection by these billions dollar international companies and that is how they keep us down running cheap freight. Any thoughts?

    So, go get you one. Personally, I had never seen any in the pilot's the last 15 years or so. Do you hallucinate and see things which no one else see? I think there is free help on psychiatry dot com for you if you need too dig deeper inside your mind and see what makes you want too mock and ridicules others.

    Kind of funny. But I am serious, it really isn't that far fetched. Companies been caught before stealing information from their competitors and that is exactly what the owner operators are too big companies like TQL, C H Robinson, Land Star, just too name a few.

    Macropoint only starts and ends when you reach a certain city and ends when you reach the destination. It is not a sign up once and they now know your every move lol

    One of my COD customers who I move produce for from time to time uses it. I don't really care. If I don't like his rate I call my other customers who I just send a daily email as to my current location and my ETA is still good. Not difficult.
