Automotive cameras have many uses. Backup cameras and side cameras are vital for erasing blind spots and increasing overall safety. Mobile DVR’s can also be used to protect your company in the unfortunate case of an accident. Thankfully no one was injured in this recent bus crash. The footage from our MobileMule™ 4420 proves that the bus driver was not at fault for this accident. Without recorded video proof, this crash would have cost the bus company $14,000.

Few businesses incur daily risks as high as those of a commercial truck fleet.

With some of the largest blind spots on the road, most hazardous cargo, and drivers who spend more time behind the wheel than passenger-vehicle drivers, higher rates of fatal accidents make sense. 

Though it’s concerning, it’s no surprise that stats (courtesy of Policy Advice) as dismal as these exist: 

- A large truck was somehow involved in around 74% of fatal passenger car accidents

- Passenger-vehicle occupants are 68% of all truck accident fatalities

- In 4% of the large trucks involved in fatal collisions, hazardous...

Dude, Where's My Car?!

It’s been a perfect storm if you’re a car thief: supply chain issues stemming from 2020’s lockdowns combined with inflation have increased car values AND theft rates in the last two years. 

Reported thefts were up by 6% in 2021 from the previous year, and up 17% from 2019!

Whether for resale in the international black market, for their catalytic converters, or for their spare-part resale values, it seems some makes and models have perennial targets on their backs.

These 10 were the most stolen in 2021, according to the NICB:

1. 2004 Chevrolet Pick-Up (Full Size) = 48,206...

In 2014, a group of 2,705 American drivers aged 16 and up were surveyed by AAA.  

These drivers had driven at least once in the 30 days before the survey and the group was weighted so as to reflect the overall American population. 

The questions in this survey focused specifically on their reactions when feelings of anger were triggered, and the answers revealing the uglier side of driving: road rage. 

The resulting statistics in lighter cases were as follows: 

- 1/3^rd of drivers admitted to have made an angry gesture at another driver 

- 50% admitted to tailgating on purpose 

- 46%...

The results of our search for the “deadliest vehicles” on the road today in America came as no shock to us. 

In fact, there’s a high chance that the person reading (and writing) this has either driven or owned one of the vehicles on the list.

In no particular order, we’ve singled out some of the deadliest in each of the vehicle categories, from a study done by Value Penguin.

Some of these might ring very close to home, as their popularity definitely plays a part in the high accident rates just by default .

In a time of high fuel costs and inflation, operational inefficiencies can end up costing a fleet more than ever. 

Though seemingly innocuous at first glance, idling is one of these inefficiencies–and when compounded, it can cut into profits.

The more time a driver is on the road, the higher the chance they’ll spend sitting and waiting in traffic with the engine running. With a large fleet, this can add up to hundreds of wasted hours a month. 

Large trucks consume about .8 gallons of fuel an hour when idling, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. 

When you consider that the average truck...

It’s been approximately 3 weeks since Canada mandated vaccines for truckers crossing the border, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight to the backlash.* In fact, many theorize that the blockades and protests will grow. 

If continued, these protests can cascade into problems that will hit close to home for many Americans:

• Manufacturing Job Cuts/Reduced Capacities

The focal point of the protests, Ambassador Bridge, is responsible for roughly 1/3rd of America’s auto industry supplies. Car plants, including some of Toyota’s and GM’s, have already been cutting back on shifts since the protests...
