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...

Just one more way to track you. I already pay enough for one tracking device that I'm required to have, but having my phone tracked too is a bit much. Plus all the phone calls to confirm I'm where it says I am. I think it's all BS. I might be a little more ok with the whole thing if they were the ones paying my phone bill

This App wants full access to your phone, I get location, but the app doesn't want to run properly unless you give it full control to your files, pictures and system settings, The only access should be location only. !!! On an iPhone it just basically has these turned on by default but for Android it gives you the option's for what the app can access on the phone, and if it's not given any control in anything, it will keep asking for permission and not working unless it's given full access.
