Downloads on time, every time
DVSA guidance sets the maximum gaps between downloading driver cards and vehicle units. Many operators choose to download more often than the minimum. A routine built around your fleet, and checked regularly, is what protects you.
Turning infringements into action
Analysis software will flag infringements. The compliance work is what happens next, such as a conversation with the driver, a record of what was said, and a change that prevents a repeat.
What good support includes
- Download schedule for driver cards and vehicle units
- Review of analysis reports and recurring infringements
- Driver conversations and written follow up
- Working time record checks
- Guidance on tachograph calibration and manual entry practice
General information only. Operator licensing rules are set by the Office of the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA and can change. Always check the current guidance on GOV.UK. Nothing here is legal advice.
Common questions
Which tachograph software do I need?
Any suitable analysis package that produces clear infringement reports will do. Many providers will work with the software you already use.
Does this cover non-HGV drivers?
The rules differ between vehicle categories. Tell the provider what you operate and they will confirm what applies.
Need a Transport Manager, or want to be found by operators?
Operators can send one free request and be matched with suitable members. Transport Managers can create a free profile in minutes.
