Nice Idea in the pre-gps satillite tracking systems. The sat. dispatching system also keeps all my truck's diagnostics, too. Depending how close they want to micro-manage, they can check actual miles against dispatch miles if they wanted to. I'm sure if someone was to give them a reason, they might look. It is kind of easy to get lost in 1000+ trucks though. They take their mileage figures straight from the computer. Other drivers have said, "why not just add a couple of gallons (of diesel fuel) out of pocket over the quarter?" If they went strictly on actual fuel purchases, I guess that could be done. I'd "F" it up though. I'd put to much in and go from an 8 to 15 mpg. lol. They wouldn't catch that, would they?
