You don't need more camera's

You need better truckers who care enough to secure the load, and deliver it intact.

 

I don’t know what good a camera would do.As far as temperature I pretty sure newer refrigerated trailers already have that ability to send that information back to the company and the customer

 

For temperature controlled (primarily refrigerated freight) the newer refrigeration units have temperature monitoring.

A few years back, Some of the loads I hauled the shipper tossed a monitoring box into the back that would record and transmit data to a facility via cell data connection. Typically what was recorded was GPS location and temperatures. Temp for product quality, GPS for security.

Receiver would just download the data and send batches of monitors back to shippers.

May want to check out these folks and see if you offer anything they do not have covered.

This technology already exists - omnitracs, orbcom, teletrack, etc. The question is can you do it better and cheaper?

The two main problems are the cameras/wiring getting torn up by the freight/loaders and how much data it uses.

 

The company I work for has 60,000 trailers, the service is bundled in with other stuff, and we have it installed by the trailer manufacturer not aftermarket. So even if my knowledge wasn't more than 5 years old, it wouldn't be worthwhile information.

You'd also be entering a crowded marketplace with a limited audience. Coupled with no experience in the industry, you're really trying to roll a granite block uphill because even if you get the trailer tracking working at an attractive price point - what else can you bring to the table? ELD, dispatch, work flow solutions?

Except for when one finds the inside of the trailer damaged and need proof of who has damaged it these are the times when they wished there was a camera in the trailer.
