Having a safe driver behind the wheel is half the battle when it comes to high-level commercial transportation. Truck carriers want to make sure freight reaches its destination, on time and cargo (and driver) in perfect condition. The Utech GPSTab Dash Cam helps carriers monitor each driver’s performance.
This technology allows carriers to detect dangerous driving activities and give you better insights into each driver’s behavior. Let’s take a closer look at the GPSTab camera with tracking capabilities and how it can enhance driver safety.
How Does the Utech GPSTab Dash Cam Work?
The Utech GPSTab is a camera that records the driver's behavior and location. On top of location tracking, this camera tracks dangerous activities in real-time, such as an unbuckled seat belt or texting while driving. If the driver continues unsafe driving habits, the footage gets uploaded to the cloud and management can then review the footage.
Additionally, the technology can prove a driver remained attentive during an accident. Research has found that 75% of trucking-related accidents are not the driver’s fault. Carriers and companies can easily deem a driver is at fault without these recordings.
This safety feature has helped the GPSTab camera receive an average rating of 4.8 stars from 1,014 reviews.
