Do you record your holidays and absence on your tachograph records?

07 March 2022

This is just one of the changes to the tachograph record keeping obligations for drivers of vehicles covered by the EU tachograph rules that came into force in August 2020…but which most drivers and operators are still unaware of!

Not heard about this?   

Well, if you’ve not heard about this, you’re probably not alone! There has been no official guidance of substance from anyone, including the DfT or the Office of the Traffic Commissioner, about what is expected and the change have not been widely publicised.

In August 2020, after just approximately a 20-day lead time, the changes were finalised and introduced.  Now, from January 2022, the DVSA have changed their approach to the changes and have been enforcing them both at the roadside and during operator investigations.  It is perhaps therefore no surprise that we are now receiving numerous queries from operators on a daily basis.

We believe the vast majority of operators and drivers are completely unaware of the new recording obligations…but we are here to help! We are running a 2.5 hour e-Training course, delivered in conjunction with Gordon Humphreys from Foster Tachographs and Transport Compliance (the UK’s leading tachograph expert), on this subject.  We will examine the rule changes in detail, the record keeping obligations for drivers, the impact on your analysis of drivers’ hours and tachograph records and the implications for operators and transport managers of getting it wrong.

Who needs to know? 

We believe around 99% of operators and drivers will not be complying with the new rules. Our e-training course is therefore essential for ALL operators who operate under the EU tachograph rules.

So, if you are a transport manager, senior manager or director whose business falls into this category, you can’t afford to miss this course, book here.
