Then they aren't after you.
we had a guy disappear en route from Houston.
dude just went AWOL. phone went straight to voicemail, etc.
Took ole boy 26 hours to make what should have been just over 5 hours.
Later that year, we found some crackheads were “borrowing” one of our vehicles a few nights a week to go around stealing shite from all over town.
They would return it before anyone got to work next morning and nobody had a clue.
Just couldn’t figure out why it burned so much fuel.
now all vehicles have trackers.
we get alerts when they leave the yard.
everybody knows we have them.

Every vehicle manufactured today has a tracking device.

A lot of large trucks have them.
You see the same on most of your Amazon & UPS deliveries.
Used to drive a large split axle and it would not bother me.

From a legal standpoint, it can pretty much provide evidence against you (i.e., wreck, speeding)
Everybody was for police body cameras until the criminals and criminal defense attorneys figured out it was damn hard to create reasonable doubt in a jury's mind when it was all on tape.

my company vehicle has a tracking device
Oh far more than a GPS tracking device. We have them on all of our company vehicles. It also sends an alert via email to someone in your company every time the vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit on roadways. If you searched a little more, you may even find the tiny camera in the interior. Believe me, it's way more than a GPS tracker.

What did they catch you doing?

these systems are not accurate
The one's we have (on our 2019 vehicles), you can actually pull up the vehicle on the computer and watch it drive down the road, stop at red lights, see the speed it's traveling, how long it's been parked, video of the interior and exterior, schedule for PMs (preventive maintenance), and our WiFi hits it as it pulls onto the company property and automatically updates all GPS mapping systems. It's extremely accurate and we have never experienced false reports - never.

My fleet team routinely deducts damages from paychecks. Best case scenario the cost just hits your operating units expenses and the bosses think your a shithead. Worst case they'll pull it straight form your paycheck.
Pretty sure the worst case would be getting fired to removing a tracking device from a company truck

And if you have enough of a problem with this, I’m sure the company wouldn’t give that much of a frick to just give you a major vehicle allowance if you didn’t want them knowing this. They’d find it odd, sure, but I think a lot of companies would work around this since it’d probably save them money. The company vehicle is largely a courtesy telling the employee that they’re investing in you and putting their money where their mouth is rather than just giving you gas money back. But if you’re dumb enough to not want it, I think quite a few companies would be happy not to give it to you to save some cash.
Depends on the type of work OP does. A lot of plumbers, electricians, etc. won’t want their guys driving a jolopy to jobs. It looks unprofessional. Or even driving a new Camry with a nice sticker on the car that says “Acme Electric” as it doesn’t have the utility of a truck or van. So it might not be that simple.

So you let that dictate what you will, but being given a car is way more valuable and cost saving for you than a fricking iPad used to track you for more petty reasons.
Yeah, for me it wouldn't so much be the tracking but rather what they are doing with the information.
Let's say you're a field technician. Your entire job is either doing installs or responding to service calls when something isn't working for a customer. That's it. No other duties. There's absolutely zero reason (in my mind) that a field technician should be expected to go back to the office and sit around doing nothing when its a slower day/he is between calls.
He is doing everything that is being assigned to him, so why can't he sit his arse on his own sofa or run errands when there's no work currently assigned? He accomplishes nothing by sitting in an office chair staring at the wall. (I worked for a company like this and the field techs didn't even have computers or anything to come back to the office for)
As for tracking computers, I think its BS too. I've always been remote and never had a tracker. When all my friends went remote for the pandemic, their companies made them download the most insane shite to track them. If your employee is of any value to the company, YOU WILL KNOW if they aren't doing their job. You don't need to track what they're doing to see whether they're doing their job.
Why does it matter if they aren't doing it at a certain time on a weekday, if they still get it done from the sofa later that night or something? I do a LOT of my work from the sofa at 10:00PM. Clients are none the wiser - they just know its getting done and have zero reason to ever complain about me.
