The industry is evolving quickly, kicked square in the nuts by high fuel prices and an economy in recession. They days of carriers, local or OTR, small or large, being able to tolerate inefficiency, wastefulness and carelessness are over. Such invasive, active monitoring devices are touted to ensure compliance and efficiency and as a defensive tool in lawsuits/litigation. We'll see huh?
