Note, some insurance companies will give you discounts (State Farm being one of them) for installing an app on your phone to monitor your driving habits. I'm a hard no on such things.
I didn't quite understand that either and I didn't ask , unless it was every minute on the minute and he has a stopwatch on the dash. This was many years ago when all this new jazz was just coming out.Yeah, I am sure most trucking companies now use GPS data to help keep their drivers in check and lower their insurance rates. It's really common tech nowadays. For example, my ex uses Life 360 to monitor the kids' locations. Back in July, she sent me a screen capture of Life 360 showing my son going in excess of the posted speed limit on I-94 and suggested he needed a talking to for how significant the penalties for speeding can be.
He was a passenger in my vehicle and I was anxious to get back to fishing after picking him up from camp.
What I don't understand from your trucker friends' comment is how he would know when, exactly, the computer would record and send out the instantaneous speed and location information. I think he is likely wrong on there being a way to defeat it by "timing" your speeding.
I do have that discount with state farm. It saves me about $60 / half year on car, don't remember what it is off hand on truck.Note, some insurance companies will give you discounts (State Farm being one of them) for installing an app on your phone to monitor your driving habits.

My rates would skyrocket if they seen how I drive. Never caused an accident though.Note, some insurance companies will give you discounts (State Farm being one of them) for installing an app on your phone to monitor your driving habits. I'm a hard no on such things.
