Ratings and reviews

The app itself seems to work well, but I only install it when required for a specific load, then I DELETE as soon as I deliver. I suspect that the seemingly constant location ping, 30 min or less in between, will drain a battery in a matter of hours! Keeping a phone plugged in will destroy battery life, yes, I heard the collective "DUH" from the techy people.. I do wonder why companies are requesting this of drivers, when they work for a company that tracks any way...

It's easier than it used to be. Works good but needs a place for me to put comments. Ex. Removed from load, dropped at yard, swapped load, ect. I had to re-download to a new phone an wow it was really bad. 1st load it stopped tracking me in ca. I was in Ohio. Customer was not happy. I paused tracking and it stopped. Won't start again. I tried Uninstaller an reloading. Won't start tracking again. I guess it's done with my load! I know I'm done with this app!

the app is intrusive and requires permissions even when not open, and on top of that it doesn't even update when you go into trips and select arrival and departure from whatever locations you've visited en route... instead, there are constant notifications asking you to tap a link to update your location..... WHILE DRIVING... and if you don't, you just get bombarded with texts and eventually calls asking about your location.
