COMMERCIAL VEHICLES WITHOUT TACHOGRAPHS

As previously advised, we have noted an increase in roadside controls in France and Germany of vehicles with no tachograph. The authorities are reviewing the driver's manual records of their activities: driving, work, availability and rest.

The Regulations:

France: Law of 20 July 1998 on hours of service and the individual control book for the transport of goods by road

Germany: Regulation concerning driving personnel (Fahrpersonalverordnung - FPersV)

Observations about these controls:

1. No official format is provided in either regulation, only a possible model is provided. Certain mandatory data fields are however provided.

2. The language of the document is important.

3. Your Truckcontroller App can automatically act as a tachograph, recording your rest, availability, work and driving time.

4. The S3 Reports generated from the Truckcontroller App are valid evidence for the French and German authorities.

How does it work?

1. The driver needs the Truckcontroller App installed on their mobile/tablet. BOTH the DRIVER and the VEHICLE need to be registered on Truckcontroller (both should be contracted for "GPS")

2. During the control when the police request the report, you need to:

a) Login into your account on www.truckcontroller.com and select GPS Positioning > S3 GPS Report> Select driver > Add the dates and click Continue.

b) Tick options A (daily graphics) and B (Grouped totals for driving, rest, other work and availability) and select the appropriate language to present the report to the police.

c) Select the option < Send to the Truckcontroller App>

3. The report will then be available in the Drivers App, under the section “documentation” and can be presented to the police.

The App acts as a typical tachograph and can create all the usual reports . It can also calculate salaries and record salaries for displaceddrivers purposes (eg Macron and Milog).
