Tachograph and Driver Card Reading
Every fleet manager knows this challenge: vehicles over 3.5 tonnes must be equipped with a tachograph (also known as a recording device), which records driving times, rest periods, breaks, and other key information in conjunction with the driver card.
This is how legislators ensure compliance with working time regulations while establishing fair conditions for the transport sector across the European Union.
Obligation to Download and Archive Data
Under legislation, companies are required to regularly download and archive DDD files from both the tachograph and driver cards.
This process typically involves using a USB stick directly in the vehicle, requiring trucks to return to the depot where data is manually downloaded. However, this represents a significant administrative burden that unnecessarily drains your staff's capacity and can cause empty kilometres or additional downtime.
