Karen Levy examines how digital surveillance has transformed the trucking industry, revealing broader dynamics of monitoring, resistance, and control in the contemporary economy. Federal regulations now require electronic logging devices in commercial trucks, replacing paper logs that drivers could falsify to exceed legal driving hours. Levy, a sociologist at Cornell, conducted fieldwork with truckers, company managers, and technology providers to understand how this shift affects daily work. The book traces how surveillance creates new forms of control: dispatchers can track drivers in real time, companies can measure productivity more precisely, and insurers can adjust rates based on driving behavior. But Levy also documents how drivers resist: disabling devices, gaming metrics, and maintaining informal economies that electronic monitoring cannot capture. She analyzes trucker culture, showing how independence and autonomy have defined the occupation and why surveillance threatens that identity. The book situates trucking within larger transformations of work, where algorithmic management and continuous monitoring spread across industries. Levy writes accessibly about sociological concepts, using trucking as a lens on questions about privacy, labor, and technology that affect far more than the road. The book demonstrates how ethnographic attention to one industry can illuminate economic changes reshaping many.
