    New employer is using ‘Big Road’, my question is, how do I turn off location tracking after I log off duty, and sign out?
    My iPhone indicates tracking is active during my drive home.

    Have them give you a device for work and not use your personal phone

    That would be my general reply, but it was one of the trade offs vs the benefit of 14 straight days on duty, then 7 off duty. The 14/7 is the big benefit to me.
    I know if I turn off Blue Tooth, and Cellular, the tracking drops after 20 min or so, but by then I’m home.

    My iphone almost always shows the tracking arrow. Go to your settings and privacy > location services. You can close everything and that arrow is still there. If you have google maps, can’t use the app without that arrow. BUT most of all Apple likes to track you. I have not found a work around. Call Apple and see if they can help turn it off. Other than this advice, I’m outta bullets. Good luck and report any findings back here. Thanks
