Digital tachographs and digital driver cards have to be downloaded and the data should be stored properly in order to present the authorities proof of good practice. Besides downloading the data you might need to analyze your data in order to verify if your drivers comply with regulations and sometimes you will also need to do some extra steps in order to keep you fleet safe and compliant.
