    This is funny. To start with we have Fleetmatics and its great. It allows me to see everything the truck is doing, sends speeding alerts, excess idling, pretty much a full view of what the vehicle is doing. It also allows us to receive service alerts, that way there is no question about whether or not the driver is keeping up with it.

    Now for what Southernduck said. I hired a driver a while back and honestly forgot to tell them about the gps on the truck. They are no secret and it is always something I tell a new driver before they get in the truck. Well after I caught him in a lie his first day of working telling me that the truck cranked up and then cut back off so he was late trying to get it back started, I called him on bullshit. Told him the key had not been switched on because I was watching it on fleematics. He did exactly what you said, brought me his keys and said he wasn't driving a truck with gps. I very politely told him that I paid 140k for the mother fucker, paid taxes, insurance, fuel, and if his fat ass didnt like the fact that I want to see where my truck was and what it was doing he could walk his fat lazy ass home. He left on foot and its the last time I've had the issue. My guys that work like they are supposed to don't mind it, its the lazy ones that get pissed off about it.

    I think he was talking about a sales guy being tracked at home. Not your company property.

    But are they not tracking company property? They don't have it on his personal property

    I'd pay a kid to peddle my company phone around while I took a nap if I worked for Jozie.

    different deal gobblinthunder you are talking about a log truck driver or something like that which is a giant headache in itself. I get fleet monitoring on that application, I would run it myself. I am talking about a sales guy that doesn't eat unless he sells. If I have to monitor my salesman's whereabouts all I need to do is look at his sales period. It is this shit that has caused alot of my friends also in sales to turn in company trucks and phones. Check email at the office.

    In divorce battles it is always fun to find them on your friends vehicles and promptly place them on an 18 wheeler w out of state tags

    Don't try Verizon Hum. It sucks and I just sent a couple back after wasting time installing and configuring them.

    I ordered two Wex Telematics units but have not installed them yet. Wex is our fleet fuel card provider and I have been pleased with their service. I will let you know if I get them put in this week.

    I've always wondered about that as a fun solution.

    As a divorce lawyer, I have sent more than one on a long trip to a friend who drove it around Farmville Virginia for a week or so then mailed it back.

    Best poker face ever is required while the PI gives his report.
    Honey...I'll do it after the season is over.

    When the opposing counsel calls the PI to the stand to testify that they tracked my client via GPS to Virginia, you don't want to smile and give it away. It is much easier to discredit them if they don't know its coming.

    They Make things that you can scan your vehicle for gps locators. After the other party gets charged for 3-4 lost locators they normally give up

    Although I find this whole thing amusing, I am really wanting to keep track of where my trucks are throughout the day.

    Thanks for the input.

    How does the legality of that work? The divorcee has to be on the title as well?

    Isn't it obvious? Hire a divorce attorney.

    My company has fleet vehicles and they use efleets to my knowledge. It is a large scale company, not sure of pricing. Sorry to sidetrack your thread w the idea of placing trackers (magnetic) from PI's on 18 wheelers. Equally valuable knowledge though
