MANTIS 360° Cameras, Part of FleetNet’s Connected Vehicle Solutions, Help Fleets Protect Drivers, Data, and Dollars
As trucking companies battle soaring insurance premiums and nuclear verdicts per a recent article in transport topics, fleets are searching for tools that protect both their drivers and their balance sheets. While the legal and insurance landscape grows more unpredictable, one truth remains: the best defense is clear, objective evidence — and proactive safety.
That’s where MANTIS 360° camera technology steps in.
The Problem: Rising Verdicts, Rising Premiums
Insurance experts at the recent ATA Management Conference noted that verdicts against carriers are skyrocketing — often influenced by emotional bias and narrative rather than fact.
Even when fleets demonstrate strong safety records, they can still find themselves facing multimillion-dollar judgments that defy logic or control… the absence of irrefutable evidence during claims and litigation often leaves fleets exposed.
The Solution: Protect your drivers, your fleet and your business with MANTIS Prove, Predict and Prevent video technology.
- Prove what happened with full vehicle visibility.
MANTIS 360° camera systems – give fleets a clear, factual record of every moment on the road. Panoramic coverage around the cab and trailer, eliminates blind spots — protecting drivers and the motoring public. - Predict what will happen with AI-powered insight and foresight.
Advanced algorithms identify risky behaviors, support driver coaching, and alert fleets before small issues become big claims. - Prevent what could happen with real-time event capture
Sudden braking, lane departures, or impacts automatically trigger video uploads, preserving crucial evidence before it’s lost.
Transforming data into foresight gives fleets power to see risk before it happens, and when litigation looms, MANTIS provides the visual truth that turns speculation into facts. Secure cloud storage and encrypted video data is instantly accessible, ensuring carriers — not opposing counsel — control the narrative.
Fleets can demonstrate safe driving behavior, defend against false claims, and resolve disputes faster — reducing both loss severity and legal exposure.
Beyond Defense: Building a Culture of Safety
Fleets that integrate MANTIS into their safety programs see more than protection; they see transformation.
By reviewing video insights, safety managers can celebrate good driving, reinforce training, and identify opportunities for improvement.
This isn’t surveillance — it’s empowerment. Drivers feel supported, not targeted, because they know the system protects them as much as it protects the company. As one operations leader put it, “When drivers know they’re backed by MANTIS, they drive with confidence — not fear.”
Why It Matters
Nuclear verdicts may be outside a fleet’s control, but visibility isn’t.By combining real-time video, AI-driven analysis, and data integration through Connected Vehicle Solutions, MANTIS turns uncertainty into clarity — giving insurers and juries alike a single, powerful message: “This fleet takes safety seriously”
As the trucking industry rethinks risk in the age of rising verdicts, MANTIS isn’t just another device on the windshield. It’s a shield of truth — protecting drivers, preserving evidence, and proving what really happened.
