As we saw how easy it was to go into the app and pull dashcam footage from that vehicle, we all realized the value of having this level of visibility in case any of our drivers ran into any trouble. So, we started ramping up the rollout to the rest of our fleet.
Turns out that was a smart decision because having those dashcams installed helped us more than once.
Soon after we started ramping up our rollout, somebody tried to pass one of our trucks on the right as our driver was turning into a driveway. That other driver tried to blame us. But fortunately, we had the ClearPathGPS dashcam footage on our side.
We showed the insurance companies the video, and they agreed the accident wasn’t our fault at all. Transmark didn’t have to pay anything to the other driver’s insurance company. I don’t know how many thousands of dollars it could’ve cost us if we didn’t have a ClearPathGPS dashcam to prove the accident wasn’t our fault, but I’m certain we dodged a bullet.
Another use case, which was unexpected, was when we were asked by the Sherriff’s office to pull a video from one of our dashcams to help with a hit and run case. Turns out two vehicles crashed in front of one of our trucks and the person at fault left the scene. We were able to quickly retrieve the footage and send it over to them which we were delighted to assist with!
At first, I could see many of them were nervous. I think a lot of them were thinking that we could literally go in and watch them live in the middle of their day. But I told them, ‘No, it’s to protect you and us in situations that might come up.’ When we explained it to them that way, a lot of them said, ‘Oh, okay. That makes more sense.
Now we’re getting close to 100% implemented across the whole fleet. That’s dozens of vehicles across five stations in four states. In fact, now our policy is to order dashcams from ClearPath even before we take possession of a new delivery vehicle. That way, we can be ready to install it as soon as the truck arrives—so we’re not going even a day without that valuable layer of visibility.
