When it comes to fleet safety, cameras are no longer a “nice to have”—they’re becoming essential. But with questions about privacy, driver trust, and ROI, many fleets still hesitate.
In our August Driving Success Webinar, we partnered with experts from Geotab and Xirgo to tackle the biggest questions fleets have about dashcams and in-cab video technology.
This interactive Q&A explored legal risks, technology choices, and real-world driver experiences to separate myth from reality—and show how cameras can transform fleet safety.
Key Topics Covered
Legal & Risk Concerns
- Who owns the footage? Fleets, not vendors, control video access.
- Court protection: Cameras protect against unfair claims and nuclear verdicts.
- Insurance benefits: Clear video evidence can lower costs and protect driver reputations.
The ROI of Camera Systems
- Beyond “just in case” coverage, cameras offer coaching opportunities and visibility.
- Drivers gain an added layer of protection when incidents occur.
- Safer driving behaviors reduce risk—and turnover.
Choosing the Right Camera System
- Forward-facing vs. dual-facing: Depends on company policies and safety goals.
- Use cases: From monitoring tailgating and speeding to ensuring lane-change safety.
- Technology evolution: AI-powered cameras deliver faster, smarter, more accurate results than ever before.
Building Driver Trust
- Open communication is key—drivers need to understand cameras are for protection, not surveillance.
- Success stories spread quickly—when drivers see cameras clear them of blame, adoption skyrockets.
- Tools like Geotab’s alerts make tampering easy to detect, while coaching builds confidence.
Why This Matters for Your Fleet
The trucking industry faces rising insurance costs, nuclear verdicts, and increasing compliance pressures. Without cameras, fleets risk:
- Costly litigation with little defense
- Damaged reputations for both company and drivers
- Missed opportunities to coach and retain safer drivers
By implementing the right system, you protect both your business and your drivers—while staying compliant and audit-ready.
