Driverless semi-tractors aren't on our roads yet, so trucking companies are doing the next-worst thing: micro-micro managing every sub-optimal gear shift, every one-minute-over-allowance bowel movement, and every thirty-seconds-too-long pee break.

Of course, such "helicopter oversight" deprives drivers of the chance to talk to other truckers at rest stops and fuel depots, and thus to find out where roads are bad or under repair, where conditions are dangerous, or where weighing stations are open. Their bosses are assuming that crowd-sourced apps such as "Waze" are just as good, but drivers know that such sources are often innacurate, and that using them is just as dangerous as texting-while-driving.
