    Is there any reason to have my location being shared on this app? How does it help me? I want to shut that off so that no one in my company can know my every moment when I’m at home.

    Do not allow it to access your location.

    Already did that. Just want to make sure location sharing does not have some kind of advantage for a driver to have it on.

    With my iPhone I can shut off location sharing. I have done that. I do want to keep the app running so that I know when I get a load or get updates from the company while I’m out of my vehicle.

    In general, I’m just wondering why transfer app would even have location sharing.
