Telematics systems, GPS tracking, electronic logs, and in-cab monitoring tools transform everyday driving behavior into digital datasets analyzed by companies, insurers, and logistics planners. This episode explores how modern trucking has become one of the most measured professions on the road and examines the deeper questions of data ownership, driver autonomy, and the role these massive datasets may play in shaping the future of transportation.
