    If you are worried about privacy (and I would be too), simply go to walmart and get a $20 pre paid phone just for it. If you are a company driver turn in a copy of the receipt. If you are an o/o write it off as a business expense.

    If it's in the contract you agreed to. You can always say no and have someone else carry it.

    let's just get to the point does the industry have a legal right to track a driver personally not the commercial vehicle itself

    I won't use the app my employer provides on Google play because of what it has access to and tracking. If I use it I accept their terms.

    what app doesn't track you?

    I believe micro point was designed to track. one agrees to the terms and conditions by use of it.

    a separate device that nevers leaves the cab could be a way around that. separate personal and business use
