What New Truck Drivers Need To Know About Trucking Companies With Driver-Facing Cameras
- Many trucking companies have installed, or are going to install, in-cab cameras that face both the road and the driver.
- Typically the cameras are constantly recording in a loop, recording over previous footage until an "incident" occurs, like hard braking or bumping or crashing into something. At that point the 10 seconds, or so, both before and after the incident are saved, the monitoring company will review it and alert your company if necessary, and they will review the footage. They do not otherwise permanently store or continuously monitor recorded footage. There isn't enough bandwidth or storage space on Earth to make that feasible.
- More recently, dash cameras were introduced that will trigger in-cab alerts and prompts for incidents such as drifting out of your lane or improper following distances, that could indicate distracted or drowsy driving. These type of incidents could also trigger a safety review with your company.
- Trucking companies are depending on the cameras to help reduce their liability in case of a disputed crash, and improve overall safety in regards to things like driver distractions.
We will keep the list of companies using driver-facing cameras updated as we get new information. Please contact us if you have information to share about any company.
