    So not to sound paranoid or anything but does anyone know if you connect your Bluetooth to the trucks stereo, can anyone with access to those telematics like safety or an equipment manager view my text messages and or calls from my personal phone? With an iPhone using iMessage?

    No, they have trouble just keeping these new emissions truck rolling down the road. They don’t even use the telamatic like Freightliner say. My company doesn’t anyway.

    I call my company before because engine was. Surging rpms and make grinding metal sound. They said nothing was sent from truck that anything was wrong and keep driving. I called back later when the truck would no start. They said they got messages from truck no fuel pressure. The fuel pump failed had to be towed
