Expert Witness Blog
Truck drivers expert witnesses may testify on hours of service, trucking accidents, and federal motor vehicle safety standards, as well as related issues. In Monitoring Driver Behavior Can Improve Safety, Reduce Costs, Jim Beach, contributing editor & Deborah Lockridge, editor in chief of Trucking.com write:
Driver monitoring has evolved tremendously in recent years. Some carriers still rely on reports from a 1-800 “how’s my driving” number to find out when a driver is driving poorly, but many more are putting technology to work to take advantage of near-real-time reporting on driver performance. Today’s technologies allow fleets to keep track of not only where their trucks are at any moment, but also how the trucks are being operated.
