During the Great American Trucking Show I sat down with John Elliot, Owner of Load One and had a candid discussion of Dash Cams and Driver Cams.
Dash Cams make sense and with the horror stories of people using trucks to commit suicide, cars stopping in front of trucks on purpose, or any other manner of accidents it is in our best interest to have the video. In our years of trucking none of the above have happened to us, but it only takes one time to ruin a career and our income.
While talking to John about have a dash and driver cam he brought up the argument on why he would like to have them in all of his trucks and why he thinks everyone should have them. He talked about the few accidents that his trucks have had and how he could have used a video to fight the case. Without the video it was the drivers word against the supposed victim. His reasons were good enough I immediately started researching cameras.
