you are screwedThat is her vehicle and she has the right to put a tracking device on it. Now if she had a video camera in the men's room, you would have a leg to stand on. A lot of companies are doing this. Not only are they making sure that company vehicles are not being used for personal use, they are making sure you are not stopping off at the bar on the way home for a few drinks then driving it on home. Also, if the vehicle is stolen, it can be tracked down. You must have done something or have been thinking of doing something in the vehicle that is not permitted for it to bother you so much. If it were me, I would care less.

They have the right to have the tracker on the company vehicle.You have no rights when it comes to this issue.If you where to name the next SUV ..what would you name it and why?
There are a couple of issues with this question. The company should have informed you that they were fitting a tracker to your van and as such if they have not done so could be infringement of your human rights. Trackers are fitted to cars so that in the event of the car being stolen they can locate the vehicle and not to monitor employee's.If possible you need to find out if trackers have been fitted to any other vehicle's in the company fleet. If not there may be grounds for a constructive dismissal case at employment tribunal.
On the negative side if you boss can prove that you were not carrying out you job during normal working ours with the tracker evidence, it may be difficult preventing her taking disciplinary action against you.
What you need to do is speak to your trade union or citizen's advice.

Try to see things from your employers point of view:If they tell the inland revenue you don't use the vehicle for personal use but you do they will be in trouble and you could get a tax bill.
The vehicle is an expensive asset and if you are putting excessive mileage on it it costing them money unnecessarily.

If you regularly speed or take short cuts you shouldn't this could be bad for business.
Wat does ABLS stand for in a truck?
I used to employ 5 people all who had vans. One guy used to bugger off home if he felt depressed, parking my van in his garage , switching his phone off and not answering the door if someone knocked. I spent a whole day ringing hospitals etc trying to find him once whilst trying to explain to customers why their jobs weren't getting done.
Another guy used to disappear for hours and then come back with bull$hit excuses about running out of fuel or getting stuck in traffic.
I didn't fit trackers. I got sick of the lot of them and laid them off and now work on my own.
Would you sooner your boss did that.
