Our Thoughts:
Being the spouse of a truck driver, the Life360 app has been an invaluable tool. It allows me to check his location during his shifts, with the exception of a signal drop at a location called Cockburn. My use of the app is not driven by trust issues but rather safety concerns. It's crucial for me to be aware of his whereabouts, ensuring he's driving safely and not involved in an accident. Additionally, the app helps me know when he's heading home, eliminating the need for repetitive texts asking, "Time?"
