1. A system for monitoring an industrial vehicle having a load-carrying portion and a driver compartment, comprising:

  • a first imaging subsystem for acquiring a plurality of load-carrying-portion images;

    a cargo-detection subsystem in communication with the first imaging subsystem, the cargo-detection subsystem configured for analyzing each of the plurality of load-carrying-portion images to determine whether cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion;

    a power-detection subsystem for determining when the industrial vehicle is running;

    a motion-detection subsystem for determining when the industrial vehicle is in motion; and

    an analytics subsystem in communication with the cargo-detection subsystem, the power-detection subsystem, and the motion-detection subsystem, the analytics subsystem configured for calculating (i) the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running;

    (ii) the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion;

    (iii) the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion; and

    (iv) the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion.
