In-Cab Coaching with Cameras
In-cab audio, produced by cameras, is designed to provide real-time feedback to drivers when a potentially unsafe situation is detected.
For the past decade, truckers have had a major impact in combating human trafficking through simple online training offered by Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) and the situational awareness it promotes. ICSA Executive Director Karen Rasmussen has served on the TAT Board of Directors since 2017 and ICSA has supported TAT every year since we were chartered. We do this in two ways: by encouraging our members and their drivers and other personnel to take online TAT training and through a modest annual charitable contribution from ICSA to TAT.
If you’re still wondering why you should take a few minutes to get TAT trained, we refer you back to this quote from TAT Executive Director Esther Goetsch in her December Landing Gear blog, “With one phone call, a trucker who saw some under-aged girls working a truck stop not only facilitated the recovery of those girls, but also that of seven other minors. Thirty-one offenders were arrested, and a 13-state prostitution ring was broken.”
If you are not already TAT-trained, we urge you to take the training to learn how you can help prevent trafficking. ICSA members who complete the online training through February 3 will receive a brand new ICSA hat with our updated logo and be entered into a drawing for a $500 gift card.

Out-of-service (OOS) violations continue to impact carriers across the country, leading to costly downtime. In 2025, the average driver OOS rate reached 12.68%, while the vehicle OOS rate climbed to 29.13%.
Planning a safe trip as a professional truck driver requires thoughtful preparation before every journey. These are key practices to keep in mind throughout each stage of your trip.
