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

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.
