Opinion is, if you accept their contract (load, rate sheet, etc) you need to abide by it. A cheap phone from walmart ($50) and a pre-paid plan may be your best option if you don't want to use your personal cell. Since its 100% for the truck, it's also 100% deductible, which helps lower the price a bit more.
If you are a company driver, tell them to shove it unless the company provides the tracking device....
What is the App some brokers require on your phone?

I'm a company driver... When ever the broker sends me a request to install an app I just delete the request... When they ask, I tell them "I dont do apps... You can call me between X time and Y time, or I can call you when I am able." Not had an issue as of yet.
skinnytrucker79, Schoob and flightconn Thank this. -

As a broker, we require carriers to do at least one of the following:
1) use TruckerTools or MacroPoint apps on the driver's smart phone
2) provide a tracking portal on a website
3) maintain a 24-hour phone number for tracking - if only this option, they don't haul for us again if there is even one failure, EDIT: unless they agree to either 1 or 2.Last edited: Feb 6, 2019
