Tachograph

Tachograph analysis, training and infringement reporting

From AI-assisted analytics to hands-on Tachomaster training, FTC helps HGV and PSV operators turn tachograph data into accurate drivers' hours compliance — and a clean audit trail for the Traffic Commissioner.

Tachograph data is one of the most scrutinised areas of any Operator Licence. The records you hold prove whether your drivers are working within drivers' hours and Working Time rules — and whether you, as the operator, have effective systems in place to spot and manage infringements. Get it wrong and you risk roadside prohibitions, an Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) downgrade, or a referral to a Public Inquiry.

At Fleet Transport Consultants, our CPC-qualified Transport Managers analyse, train and advise on every aspect of tachograph compliance — for both digital and legacy analogue systems. We don't just produce reports; we help you understand what the data is telling you and embed the routines that keep you compliant.

1. Tachograph analytics

Analytics pairs naturally with our DDIR walkaround app, giving you a single view of drivers' hours and daily defect reporting.

2. Tacho deep-dive — when the detail matters

Some situations demand more than a standard report. Our tacho deep-dive is a bespoke, evidence-based analysis suited to solicitors, fellow consultants and complex scenarios — for example, defending a drivers' hours allegation, reconstructing a sequence of events, or supporting a case ahead of a Public Inquiry. Pricing is on enquiry, based on the case, because no two investigations are the same.

3. Tachomaster Master-Class training

Software is only as good as the people using it. Our Tachomaster Master-Class is a seven-hour interactive virtual classroom delivered to small groups (1–4 people), giving your team the confidence to run Tachomaster properly — from calendars and infringement handling to report generation and DVSA data requests.

ItemPrice
Tachomaster Master-Class (first participant)£295 per person
Each additional participant (same organisation)£149 per person

A certificate of attendance is issued on completion — useful evidence of your commitment to ongoing compliance training.

4. Analogue tachograph conversions

Still running vehicles on analogue charts? We convert and process your discs so legacy records sit alongside your digital data in one place. The disc conversion service, including analyst processing, is £99 per month — keeping older vehicles fully accounted for without a costly system upgrade.

Why analysis alone isn't enough

The Traffic Commissioner expects operators to act on infringements, not just record them. That means a clear escalation process, driver debriefs and a documented trail showing how repeat offences are managed. Our consultants help you build that process and link it to wider tachograph rules and drivers' hours obligations — so your data becomes a genuine compliance asset.
