A haulage company was fined £90,662 for drivers’ hours offences and failing to keep records. VOSA operation director said “these fines show that the courts deal firmly with those companies who do not take their responsibilities seriously”.

A powerful and flexible on-line driver debriefing tool within Smartanalysis, Smartdebrief provides a configurable debrief scheme where you can define a disciplinary process with escalation levels using a points-based system for managing infringements.

A quick guide to using Smartdebrief to manage driver infringements down

1 Set up your debrief scheme

Smartdebrief gives you visibility of drivers’ performance based on their tachograph records. It provides a full audit path of infringements and the actions taken based on your own disciplinary scheme.

2 Overview of driver performance

In the first instance, managers must inform their drivers of any infringements. Smartdebrief provides documented evidence that can be signed by the driver and kept on file. Transport Managers also have a responsibility to identify the causes of infringements to manage them down through training, debriefing and disciplinary procedures. Smartdebrief provides proof that tachograph data is being used to achieve compliance.

3 Starting a debrief session with your driver

Smartdebrief will deliver clear evidence to demonstrate that you have taken reasonable steps to prevent breaches in regulations.

4 Action taken against infringements

Smartdebrief enables you to identify drivers that breach regulations quickly and easily, keep track of repeat infringements and prioritise training and development for drivers that need it most. It gives Transport Managers the tools they need to manage their drivers based on their actual tachograph records and infringements with a full audit trail of driver and debriefer interactions.

Smartdebrief is available as standard with Smartanalysis.

“We have used Smartanalysis since 2007 and found it to be the best solution for managing compliance.”
