Tractor Man brought this up in another thread:

BTW, in this information age just about anybody can find out wher you have been. If you carry a Smart Phone, use a credit/debit card, and go out in public, (there are surveillance cameras everywhere, stores, parking lots, public buildings,etc. Your every move is being tracked.

So I went looking. I found Google location history. If you're signed on to Google, go to Maps then Tap the Menu > Your timeline. Google knows everywhere you've been!

I've been doing this since I started otr. It's fun, especially when I can't remember where I've been. Haha.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

I don't use a Google login but when I recon the customer location I save it in Google maps. I save terminals too. It helps to spark my brain cells when I'm trip planning

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Forget about Google tracking. PokemonGo knows.
