A transport platform can calculate shift and break information, but the applicable drivers’ hours and tachograph rules still depend on the vehicle, journey and activity.
Do not confuse operational time with tachograph evidence
Clock-in records help payroll and planning. Tachograph records capture regulated driving and other activities. Keep the two sources clearly labelled and investigate unexplained differences.
Record meaningful activity
Drivers should use the correct tachograph mode and complete required manual entries. Office workflows can highlight missing downloads, no-card events and records awaiting review.
Use alerts as prompts, not legal conclusions
An alert for a long shift or missing break should prompt a competent review. It should not claim that every flagged record is automatically an infringement.
