Technology: all the ways a driver & equipment is tracked/traced?

Didn't even think of brokers dispatchers cyberstalking/spyware or carriers fleet managers as well snooping around...watching peoples phones during breaks or 10hr breaks lol.. Driver wakes up… so they immediately text the driver annoyingly hey driver what's the ETA? Or good morning driver how are you. We see that your 127 miles away form delivery are you gonna make it still?

 

that makes sense now, I thought they overcharged me and I was gonna call but I guess my trip was between two months, end of November beginning of December. I did a Shopping cart run from South Carolina to Oregon then USPS load from Oregon to North Carolina. looking back at the math that makes sense now thank you.

@LOTSO my bad $0.24 cents per mile
