TruTac has announced an enthusiastic take up of its recently introduced Earned Recognition reporting features. The company believes that this is because they do not charge customers any extra fees for being part of the pilot.

Earned Recognition is a new way for vehicle operators to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards. Pilot participants voluntarily agree to regularly share performance information with the DVSA and in return, their vehicles are stopped less for inspections.

Earned Recognition will be accredited to operators who record and submit data which satisfies key performance indicators relevant to vehicle maintenance and drivers’ hours.

To take part in the voluntary pilot, operators must have an IT system which can monitor the set parameters and report back to the DVSA every 4 weeks to inform if any KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) have been missed. In turn, in the event of any significant deviation, DVSA will work with the operators to rectify the issue.

TruTac’s new software, TruAnalysis, comprises reporting packages which allow operators to easily monitor and manage all compliance aspects for tachograph data, including Earned Recognition.
