In our experience there will always be SOME resistance to dash cams. By establishing trust upfront with your drivers, you can defuse pushback and keep your drivers motivated while they are on the road.

It’s important to explain how the fleet dash cams work and how they will not be monitored each and every second they are on the road. Most of the time footage will only be reviewed if there is a safety-triggered event. Doing trial runs with a select few drivers before the dash cams are installed across your entire fleet can also help set a positive precedent. They can relay their experiences with the other drivers and let them know what to expect going forward.

Finally, it’s imperative to let your drivers know about corrective actions that will take place if safety protocols are broken. Having guidelines that distinguish between verbal / written warning vs employee termination is important so your drivers are not blindsided when coaching opportunities arise.
