is GPS tracking legal?
if it is HOW? i mean what happen to privacy?
they recently installed gps tracking devices in our trucks at work and they told us NOT TO WORRY it just for keeping track of equipment! (we do loose a lot of equipment btw)
well just last week they fired 2 guys...
one for driving to his house on his lunch break and another for showing he was at a certain spot for over 15min. when he reported he was in route to a different location.

It's totally legal, I'm soo lucky that my truck was one of like 3 in my whole company back in the day that didn't have a G-Force sensitive camera or a GPS. It wasn't that I was speed racer doing weird stuff but I was much more comfortable.

always do, and the job use to allow some kick back time if you WORKED your butt off and finished early... guess the best perk of this job is now GONE! time to learn to work REEEEEEEEEEEALY SLOW (which sucks)
w3rd thats what !!WAS!! nice about this job... you did you JOB with out being bothered
NOW its like the big BOSS man is standing over you shoulders questioning what your doing all day!
very un-nerving

yeah that is a horrible feeling. the whole point of not working in a warehousue or office is to be away from the boss man and just do YOUR job.
