Coaching drivers through the eyes of a dash cam offers unique solution to safety and risk management

Commercial truck driving can be a dangerous profession. In addition, the trucking industry’s occupational hazards affect not only those employed in the sector but they also pose a risk to the general public who drive alongside big rigs every day. Effectively managing these risks is vital, especially when the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reported that 4,136 people died in large truck crashes in 2018—a 31% increase in large truck fatalities compared to 2009. Over 67% of these deaths were occupants of cars and other passenger vehicles. With trucks often weighing 30 times as much as passenger cars, it’s no wonder that accidents involving tractor-trailers often result in fatalities.
