OK, you are off the hook. Man I hate micromanagement. I used to do fleet management and fought against corporate micromanagement the whole time. If they are just trying to track mileage the odometers don’t work? lol

It is simple, you treat your drivers right and they will treat the company right in return.

Good luck finding what you need so you can take care of your customer even though he concept is immoral. lol :)

The data I’m getting is probably coming from companies that collect it to track their drivers. I’m not interested in tracking individual vehicles. I’m building a tool that will compile data from many vehicles and let me measure different performance measures for the fillet in aggregate.

It's not just for tracking your drivers. It can be useful from a logistics standpoint to know what trucks are where when a change or last-minute order comes down and you have to reroute stuff. Sure, drivers don't like being tracked, but the point of it really isn't to micromanage them.
One of the companies I used to work for had some events down in Mexico. Two semi trucks full of gear, and one of them was stolen from the hotel parking lot. $$2-3MM in gear, gone. I don't think they ever found the truck.
