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'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.

I fully understand location logistics, especially to time deliveries and pick ups. But to micromanage how they drive their trucks and if they pick their nose or scratch their rear ends or not (Because now they are even putting cameras in trucks) is insane OCD overkill. The whole industry needs to draw a line with this crap.

Yes, we had to find a few missing trucks and trailers ourselves using GPS. We also had them disappear because drivers got tired of being micromanaged to the very second and covered the satellite antenna with foil.

Companies are having a hell of a time finding GOOD drivers, let alone drivers period. Then they treat them as if they are robots and not even human and wonder why... Amazon fires drivers for even stopping to take dump.

This is the new trending model of “logistics”...
