Managing compliance is essential
Managing compliance with complex rules and regulations in the UK and EU is far too important for any road transport operator to risk getting it wrong. The rules and regulations concerning drivers’ hours and tachographs exist to ensure fair competition between road transport operators throughout the EU and to enhance safety on our roads for all the vehicles that use them every day.
Every road transport operator regardless of their size must have systems and procedures in place to meet their legal responsibilities. Ignorance is no defence. Failure to do so can result in financial penalties for the driver and operator. More serious cases may jeopardise your Operator’s Licence and in extreme cases result in imprisonment.
The authorities (DVSA) will continue to focus on the serially and seriously non-compliant road transport operators. Our SmartCompliance Software as a Service solutions start from just 25p per driver per day and will show the authorities that you have systems and processes in place to manage your compliance.
