    Using it without location enabled is a pain in the butt.
    They actually fixed it in the last week update. Now when you exit the app, it stops tracking

    I think it’s worse that the transflo app tracks location. Transflo is accessed by your company if you are a company driver like me. They have an excuse to track the truck (via Qualcomm) and where I go in the truck. But it bothers me that the default settings allow them to track my personal movements outside the truck. I have disabled it but not until after using it unknowingly.
