Legal to track doesn't mean protected if you get challenged on it. Every state that touches GPS tracking law expects the same basic paper trail: a policy that says what you track and why, and a signed acknowledgment from the employee who drives the vehicle. This free template gives you both, already written for your state.

[Company Name]: Employee GPS Consent Form & Vehicle Use Policy
Effective date: · Prepared for use in: select a state above
1. Purpose
[Company Name] ("the Company") uses GPS tracking on company-owned and company-leased vehicles and equipment to prevent and recover theft, support dispatch and routing, verify arrival and departure times, manage fuel and idle time, and protect employee safety.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all vehicles, trailers, and equipment the Company owns or leases. It does not apply to an employee's personal vehicle unless that employee separately agrees to it in writing.
3. What is collected
Tracking devices record GPS location, movement and ignition status, and time-on-site or route history while installed on a company vehicle or piece of equipment. Devices do not record audio or video and do not track an employee's personal phone.
4. State notice & consent
5. Employee responsibilities
- Do not tamper with, disable, cover, or remove a tracking device.
- Report a malfunctioning or missing device to your supervisor promptly.
- Use company vehicles and equipment for business purposes as authorized by your supervisor.
- Continue to follow all traffic laws and safe-driving practices; the device does not replace safe operation of the vehicle.
6. Data access
Location and activity data is available only to designated supervisors, dispatch, and company ownership. It is not sold or shared outside the Company and its GPS service provider.
7. Acknowledgment and consent
I have read and understand the policy above, including the state notice and consent language in Section 4. I understand that company-owned or company-leased vehicles and equipment I operate may be tracked using GPS technology for the business purposes described above, and I consent to that tracking.
