A GPS is not an On Board Recording Device as defined by FMCSA in any shape form or fashion although the OBRD's do have GPS in them. YES, they do have the legal right to monitor where you are, how fast you are driving, how long you are driving, or anything else a gps can show and to match it to the logs you turn in. Many companies use Qualcom and the Qualcom log can and is used by DOT in their audits to confirm logs.

I don't have a problem with XATA, Qualcom or other that comply to 395.15
(b)(1) Automatic on board recording devices shall produce, upon demand, a driver's hours of service chart, electronic display, or printout showing the time and sequence of duty status changes including the drivers' starting time at the beginning of each day.
(b)(2) The device shall provide a means whereby authorized Federal, State, or local officials can immediately check the status of a driver's hours of service. This information may be used in conjunction with handwritten or printed records of duty status, for the previous 7 days.
(i) Performance of recorders.
(i)(4) The automatic on-board recording device warns the driver visually and/or audibly that the device has ceased to function.
It is the "SNITCH BOX" I have a problem with. If they start handing out tickets and shorting my pay.
