The Highest Stakes in Commercial Fleet Risk

Long-haul trucking is the single most targeted sector in nuclear verdict litigation. Jury awards regularly exceed $50 million. Insurance premiums have risen 40–65% over the past decade. And every mile your fleet runs without evidence is a mile of unprotected exposure. MANTIS gives long-haul operators the 360° documentation, AI risk intelligence, and claims-ready evidence to defend their drivers, their record, and their business.

Protect Your Fleet
How it works

Protection at Every Stage of Every Haul

1
Pre-Trip & Departure

Cameras are recording from the moment the engine starts. Forward, rear, side, and driver-facing cameras capture the full vehicle environment before the truck leaves the yard, documenting condition, surroundings, and driver readiness from departure.

2
On the Road

Across every mile, MANTIS AI monitors driver behavior continuously, scoring fatigue, distraction, following distance, and speed. Real-time in-cab alerts intervene before unsafe patterns become incidents. Multi-camera coverage captures every angle of the road environment throughout the haul.

3
Incident & Resolution

When an incident occurs, Collision Insights consolidates synchronized multi-angle video, telemetry, and event data automatically. Your insurer and legal team receive a complete, packaged evidence file, not a phone call and months of back-and-forth. Claims close faster. Costs stay lower.

The Numbers Are Getting Worse. Every Year.

Long-haul trucking carriers are bearing the full weight of the US litigation crisis. One in four auto accident trials resulting in a verdict over $10 million involves a commercial trucking carrier. Premiums are rising faster than any other line item in fleet operations. And insurers are walking away from fleets they consider too risky to cover. The carriers that survive this environment are the ones that can prove what happened, demonstrate proactive risk management, and resolve claims before legal costs spiral.

Every Mile Without Evidence Is a Mile of Exposure.

A forward-only dashcam misses more than half of what happens around a truck. Over 30% of truck collisions occur on the sides, and 20–25% at the rear, angles a single camera never captures. When a case goes to litigation without multi-angle footage, the fleet has no objective record and the jury has no evidence to counter a plaintiff's narrative. MANTIS's 360° camera system covers forward, rear, sides, and cab interior on every vehicle, every mile. When it matters most, the footage is there.

FEATURES

Built for the Demands of Long-Haul Operations

360° Vehicle Coverage
Forward, rear, side, and driver-facing cameras eliminate blind spots across the full length of the vehicle. Every angle that matters in court, and in a claims dispute, is captured continuously.
Fatigue & Distraction Monitoring
Long hours and monotonous highway driving create the conditions for fatigue and inattention. RECON's AI monitors driver alertness in real time, flagging unsafe patterns and delivering in-cab alerts before they escalate into incidents.
Driver Risk Scoring
Every driver in your fleet is scored continuously based on real behavior, not just post-incident reviews. Fleet managers see exactly where risk is concentrated and can target coaching at the drivers and behaviors that matter most.
Nuclear Verdict Defense
When a case reaches litigation, MANTIS provides synchronized, timestamped footage from every camera angle alongside telemetry data. Defense counsel gets clean, court-ready evidence that counters plaintiff narratives with objective fact.
Collision Insights
The moment an incident is detected, RECON consolidates video, telemetry, and event data into a single organized package. Your insurer receives everything they need to assess liability and begin resolution, within hours, not weeks.
Loss Ratio Protection
Fewer collisions, fewer fraudulent claims, faster resolution. MANTIS addresses all three root causes of a deteriorating loss ratio, giving your fleet a demonstrably lower risk profile and stronger negotiating position at every renewal.

Some questions, some answers

Long-haul trucking, nuclear verdicts, and what MANTIS does about the risk.
Why are long-haul trucking fleets the most exposed to nuclear verdicts?

Size, visibility, and severity. Incidents involving tractor-trailers are more likely to result in serious injury or fatality, which makes them prime targets for plaintiff attorneys pursuing large jury awards. One in four auto accident trials resulting in a verdict over $10 million involves a commercial trucking carrier. The combination of public perception, aggressive litigation strategies, and high-stakes damages means long-haul operators face disproportionate legal exposure compared to any other fleet segment.

How does RECON help defend against nuclear verdict claims?

RECON captures synchronized, timestamped footage from every angle of the vehicle — forward, rear, sides, and cab interior, alongside telemetry data. When a case reaches litigation, defense counsel has an objective, multi-angle record of exactly what happened. That evidence counters emotional plaintiff narratives with fact, and in many cases resolves claims before they ever reach a courtroom.

Can MANTIS monitor driver fatigue on long-haul routes?

Yes. MANTIS's AI-powered driver-facing camera monitors alertness indicators continuously throughout every shift — flagging fatigue, distraction, and inattention patterns in real time. In-cab alerts notify the driver immediately, and fleet managers receive the data to follow up with targeted coaching. For long-haul operations where hours behind the wheel are the norm, this is one of the highest-impact capabilities RECON delivers.

How does RECON help reduce insurance premiums for trucking fleets?

Insurers price based on risk profile, and the metric they watch most closely is loss ratio. MANTIS addresses all three drivers of a rising loss ratio: it prevents collisions through AI monitoring and driver coaching, protects against fraudulent and non-fault claims with 360° evidence, and accelerates resolution so claims close faster and cost less. Fleets that can demonstrate this to their underwriter are in a materially different position at renewal.

What camera coverage does MANTIS provide on a tractor-trailer?

MANTIS deploys forward-facing, driver-facing, side, and rear cameras as standard configuration. For tractor-trailer setups, this means full coverage of the road environment, cab interior, both sides of the vehicle, and the rear — eliminating the blind spots that forward-only systems leave exposed. Over 60% of truck collisions occur outside the forward camera's view, which is exactly why multi-angle coverage matters.
