Just my opinion. It is a service that allows the broker to sell to customers that drivers will not see 1 cent of.
Brokers want to track me....

FedEx, nor UPS are in real time. If the Broker's customers want real time, coordinates or up to the minute location data then let them pay for it. This tracking, just like tarping and detention gets given away for free and/or the Carrier doesn't see any profit from it. You want these perks, then you will pay me for said services. Otherwise, find other sucker foolish enough to give it all away for free. Personally, I'm running a business, not a charity.

Just used both of these for the last two loads.
And just remember the tracking isn’t active it’s hours behind
So they’ll text you and say we see you’re stopped at so and so truck stop are you still good for delivery.... on the next update it shows that you are 3 hours away.Attached Files:

I have been sent 2 text messages in the past month
Wanting me to download macropoint
After the first message request I downloaded
After downloaded the app wants permissions to use location, access to photos and other stuff I keep saved on my phone, and manage and make phone calls
I don't mind sharing my location
But my phone is my personal space
I don't have anything on here I wouldn't want others seeing
I just think it is intrusive
To want that kind of access to my personal phone
If someone wants me to use this app
Then they need to provide a company phone
If all they are wanting is location
They can use the eld for that -
I stay with in 300 miles of home. They get 2 calls from me,1 I'm loaded and 2 I'm empty. I don't talk and drive, at least not to brokers.
