One of the biggest challenges in the transport sector is the efficient management of drivers' driving and rest times. Compliance with these times is mandatory according to European legislation and failure to respect them can lead to heavy fines and even to the withdrawal of the permits of the transport companies.

For this reason, it is crucial to have a good system that can accurately track and analyze these times. In addition to avoiding fines, monitoring driving and rest times can also contribute to road safety, as overtired drivers pose a great risk to themselves and other road users.

Most transporters have to avoid fines and traffic jams every day, as well as take into account all kinds of factors such as the driving and rest periods of their drivers. After all, there are major consequences if they are not respected.

• Non-compliance with mandatory rest periods during working hours: € 44 to € 2,200
• Exceeding the statutory number of daily driving hours: € 132 to € 1,760
• Exceeding the legal upper limit on biweekly driving times: € 110 per hour
• Deficit on weekly rest: € 110 per hour
• Deficit on daily rest: € 55 per hour

It is therefore very important that transport companies keep a close eye on their driving and rest times. A good tracking solution can help with this. With their TACHO PLUS solution, GeoTracer offers a combination of automatic tacho download and display of drivers' driving and resting times with just one click.
