A quick compliance check for operators
When you use agency drivers, you’re also relying on the compliance processes sitting behind that supply. But how much visibility do you really have over what your agency is doing to monitor, manage and support driver compliance?
Use this quick checklist to review your current arrangements.
Does your agency:
- Use automated systems to monitor drivers’ hours and infringements?
- Analyse tachograph information regularly?
- Have a documented process for managing every infringement?
- Speak to drivers about infringements and take appropriate action?
- Monitor repeat infringements and emerging patterns?
- Provide accessible compliance training and refresher support?
- Monitor working time as well as driving hours?
- Carry out ongoing licence and driver compliance checks?
- Have dedicated compliance expertise overseeing the process?
- Give you visibility and confidence in the compliance of the drivers supplied?
How many could you confidently tick?
If there are questions you couldn’t answer, it may be worth asking your agency what happens behind the scenes once a driver is supplied.
