The driver can select “Quick Message” and select from a variety of
canned messages, ie. “Fred Starting Shift” or “Fred Ending Shift”.

drive the same vehicle. The historical trip information can then be
tagged to the vehicle as well as the driver.

the message received at the office will show:
- a time stamp of when the message was received
