The hours a tachograph doesn't see
Your tachograph records time at the wheel. It doesn’t record the vehicle check before the card goes in, the hour spent loading, the training session or the two-hour wait at a distribution centre nobody planned for.
All of this counts as working time under the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005, and all of it needs to be recorded.

What you’ll get from this free eBook
Driving time is only part of working time
It sits inside the total, not alongside it. See what else the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005 count towards the 48-hour average, and what the tachograph never records.
Assess your operation in 16 questions
A readiness checklist covering records, reference periods, night work limits and certification tracking.
The certification risk behind every shift
Licence category, Driver CPC and ADR all carry an expiry date. See how to put that in front of the scheduler before the shift is assigned, not after.
What non-compliance costs beyond the fine
The repercussions extend far beyond a standard fine. We unpack them for you.
