LoneStar Fleet is a driver companion app for fleet operators using the LoneStar logistics platform. Drivers sign in with employer-issued credentials to manage assigned shifts, navigate to route stops in real time, capture campaign placement photos, and have their location reported to dispatch while a shift is active. The app is restricted to authenticated employees and partners — public sign-up is not available. Why LoneStar Fleet uses background location LoneStar Fleet collects precise location in the background only after a driver explicitly taps "Start Shift" inside the app, and stops the moment the driver taps "End Shift." Before the permission is requested, the app shows an in-app disclosure that explains exactly what is collected, when, and why. Background access is required because ad-truck campaign routes typically last 4–8 hours, during which the driver's phone is dash-mounted and the screen is off or showing navigation. Foreground-only location would stop tracking the moment the screen locks, breaking the route-verification feature that fleet operators and advertisers depend on to confirm campaign delivery. Drivers stay in full control: • Location is never collected before a shift is started or after a shift is ended. • A persistent foreground-service notification is shown the entire time location is active, with a one-tap "End Shift" button. • Location data is used solely to verify the contracted advertising route was driven — never for advertising, profiling, analytics, or sharing with third parties.
