GPS tracker embedded in your electronic BOL.

ELDs such as big road offer gps tracking, but pre eld trucks you would need a gps.

if your pushing out electronic BOL’s that means they must have a smart device, sharing their location with you on that device fixes the issues and no need for a separate GPS device on the truck.

 

Sounds like a fantastic business model. Yep.

 

If broker wants track my trucks I want to track broker bank account. So we can sleep good equally. He knows were is my truck I know he has money to pay me.
Fair?

 

Trying to covertly track your employees is not ethical.
Sure you have a right to know where your equipment is but be a man about it.

Fyi trying to covertly install tracking software on an individuals device is actually illegal. They have to consent if it's their personal device.

 

If you own the device and it's not for personal use you MIGHT be able to get away with using something like or any of the load tracking apps that gets spammed by every #### broker anymore. Bluepoint is one of em.

Edit for legality

If they take the device with them and it's tracking them covertly it's also illegal and subject to suite/criminal prosecution

 

Why not just track the ELD?

Before ELD we have gps trackers on all trucks company and owner op. Flying blind is not something I would ever do. Not efficient at all.
