By becoming MacroPoint enabled, you are providing your customers with the tools they need to track their freight in real time all on the same portal.

Descartes MacroPoint was built as a 3rd party visibility solution so we can provide the same level of visibility for 3rd party assets as we can for companies with their own trucks. MacroPoint offers cell phone tracking via the MacroPoint for Truckers mobile app — however, this option may require manual work on your side to upload information into the MacroPoint portal.
For brokers, MacroPoint does offer an API to automate this process if you have the capability of adding to your system. Our industry leading mobile application is a great way to provide location data to your customer. This makes life easier for the driver and our mutual customers. You can check to see if your provider is integrated on our Telematics connection page.
For more information on privacy and data security, see our Data Privacy Page. When a customer requests visibility they send that request to MacroPoint.
Each provider has a different set of instructions for connecting with Descartes MacroPoint. We have all instructions documented on our Telematics page. If you are ready to connect just reach out to your Descartes MacroPoint activations consultant.

Why do you need to track my phone? All liability is on the driver. State and federal laws against texting and driving apply.
Even if I do not have the app MacroPoint can still track my phone via cell towers. I've a complaint that may pertain to a few locations or 1. The issue is the distance it AUTO tracks updates arrival and departure. One can go a mile or more near shipper and it'll show arrived and or departed even if you're not going to shipper because it's not time. They'll call or text excessively even tho this tracking system is said to reduce contact.
So no matter when you arrive on time or depart, the "system" has auto stated something that isn't always the case. Going to be honest with you here. The app works as advertised but I seriously do not like having to download this app onto my personal device in order to complete a load. Every time I have a load that requires me to use the app I only download it when I am actively delivering the load and immediately delete the app afterwards.
What information does the app have privileges to? I am a company driver, my job does not pay my cell phone bill. Over 0 K.
