A claims-readiness workflow for retrieving, preserving, documenting, and sharing fleet video—without an unverifiable accident story.
What video can and cannot do
Dashcam video can add context to an incident. It does not guarantee a finding, eliminate liability, or replace police, insurer, or legal review.
The previous version of this page described an anonymous $45,000 accident outcome as a real case study. Track My Truck did not publish enough evidence to verify that story, so it has been removed.
Build a claims-readiness workflow
- Preserve the original event. Export the available road, cabin, GPS, and event files without editing the originals.
- Record the basics. Note vehicle, driver, time, location, event trigger, device ID, and who performed the export.
- Keep an access log. Record who viewed, copied, or shared the material.
- Avoid public posting. Send evidence only through the process established by the insurer, attorney, or investigating authority.
- Retain related records. Preserve the incident report, driver statement, photographs, maintenance information, and applicable policy records.
- Review camera coverage. After the event, check mounting, visibility, timestamps, storage, and retention settings.
Test before an incident
Run a controlled retrieval test. Confirm that authorized users can find an event, export it, understand the timestamp, and share it securely. A camera that records but cannot be retrieved quickly may not meet the fleet’s operational need.
