Truck cameras have become so important to fleet safety that trucking insurance expert Sam Tucker believes the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will be mandating their use.
“I hate to look into my crystal ball and think that’s the case but I really do. I honestly do,” Tucker, CEO of Carrier Risk Solution, said during Truckload Carriers Association’s webinar on improving carrier standing with insurers, April 15.
Mandate or not, more fleets are leaning on event recorders, Tucker said, especially at a time when costly crash verdicts are dragging carriers into news headlines.
