Recently were shopping insurance providers for our brick and mortar business that has a few delivery vehicles, and MANY of the commercial insurers are requiring that their apps be used to monitor employee driving behavior. I hadn't shopped for insurance in quite awhile and was shocked at how prevalent this requirement seemed to be.

I'm kind of torn on this.

On the one hand, I hate the intrusiveness, that's a huge minus.

On the other hand, commercial drivers are subject to all kinds of perverse business incentives--too many hours driving, poorly maintained fleets, etc.--and if the insurance companies can stamp those out, that's a plus.

Nearly all CDLs in the US are operating with an ELB of some sort and have been for a while now. Trucking is a different world.
