Have you ever worked for a company that required you to drive around town for them? Have you ever taken a time to slack off, do personal business or just go slow to get paid more? You probably thought there's no way your boss would ever know, right? Not exactly. A new Fleet Tracking system aims to put an end to that.

Fleet Tracking GPS systems are installed in company cars, and I'm sure you can guess what that means. Your boss knows exactly where you are at all times, how long it takes to get there, and more. You might think that is pretty scary, but these GPS systems can do much more than just find out where you're at.

Since they're tied into the entire vehicle, they can also notify your boss how fast you're traveling (and if you're speeding or breaking the law). They know how much gas is in your car, how many people are in the car, and much more. Of course not every GPS system gives your boss all that information, only the more expensive ones. But if the company you work for depends on travel, be prepared to be spied on.

So is this really moral? I would have to say yes, even though it's pretty scary. You work for a company and you are on company time, even if you're driving across town to do a delivery. And if you're going to waste their time and money, why shouldn't they know about it? You wouldn't be able to slack off if you were a waiter at a restaurant, so why should you be able to if you're delivering food across town?

Most of these GPS systems are also equipped with alarm systems, cameras, audio (voice) recorders, telephones and added security devices. Not only does your boss want to look over you, he wants to make sure his car is in tip-top shape and not stolen.

While this is ethical, it really pushes the limits on privacy. If this were to become common for law enforcement officials, we might have a real problem. But for now, business is business and you have to play by the bosses rules.
