    Something does not sound right.
    Have you done or had done a malware sweep?

    One question I would be adamantly asking is where the notification that any tracking information was being collected.

    Next question would be a privacy policy and for a full copy in writing.

    never did say what kind of device this is on.
    So what type of device are you using?
    It may help with some answers.

    Are you sure it is even from your employer? What application did you fill out, was it intelliapp, driver reach or something else? Might help us all avoid this issue ourselves if it is from the employers website or something like that.

    Go into your phone ‘settings’ and see all the ‘apps’ your phone has. You may a ‘hidden app’ you may need to go to ‘Geek Squad’.

    I’m with @MACK E-6 & @bryan21384 that’s why TTR is so invaluable, a lot of times especially so to newer drivers entering the industry, to feel out what is normal or not. This is not normal. I’d let others be warned of this company. Name and shame, I say!
     
    MACK E-6 and bryan21384 Thank this.

    I agree hole heartedly that posting the company name for everyone is very important.

    Pick someone and send it via private message. The can post it for you if your afraid to.

    Whoa, a touchy subject, black Suburbans be darned, here's my take. Whether you like it or not EVERYTHING is monitored somewhere. You couldn't convince me otherwise. A friend pushed some app on his smartphone, and a map came up of all the places he'd been in the last week. It's 1984 people, and if you think for a second, that call "ends" with a push of a button, you are sadly mistaken. How do you think they find criminals? Cell phone records. Cameras on every light pole and overpass in the country, why I bet this fair site is being monitored in the Far East somewhere, yes sir, even the PMs. Too paranoid? That's exactly what "they" want you to think,,oh, oh, black Suburbans and helicopters,,,gotta go,,,,
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    This subject is why I use a pseudonym on all my social media. Most of the time I also use a VPN when doing general web browsing. I admit I use an iPhone and iOS is one of the most insecure systems out there. My phone however is MINE! If I was still driving and my company asked me for access to my phone or my iPad I would ask them where they want me to park my truck!
     
    aussiejosh and Arctic_fox Thank this.
