If you have noticed, Swift trucking company drivers do a LOT of stupid things and get photographed at it... well, finally, the president/COO is fed up. Next month driver facing cameras are getting installed









Swift Transportation informed its drivers last week that the company will deploy dual video recording systems in all company trucks beginning in May. The systems include both forward-facing and driver-facing lenses. Installation of driver-facing cameras, sometimes considered distasteful to drivers, represents a risk for Swift at a time when most truckload fleets concede their most pressing concern is recruiting and retaining drivers.

 According to Swift’s website, the company operates more than 18,000 power units and does more than $4 billion in business a year.

 The company ranks by revenue as the second-largest truckload carrier (behind Schneider) and the sixth-largest for-hire fleet overall in the most recent Transport Topics Top 100 survey. Swift will be the largest for-hire truckload carrier yet to deploy driver-facing cameras.

 A Swift spokesman said the company had no comment on the internal announcement.
