Data gps records
Maintenance and inspection logs
Maintenance and inspection logs are critical records that reveal whether a truck was properly serviced and safe to operate. They often become central evidence in determining liability after an accident.
Black box data and GPS records
Modern commercial trucks are equipped with electronic systems that record vital operational data. Known as 'black boxes' or Event Data Recorders (EDRs), along with GPS trackers, these devices provide crucial insights into what happened before and during a crash.
