'HIE FREIGHT Transport Association (FTA) has written to the Department for Transport ( Dir) complaining that the Eli requirement for drivers to keep tacho charts in their cabs for 15 days is irrelevant and unnecessary.
FlA chief executive Richard -Rimer has told the DlT's head of logistics, Stephen Fidler. that "common sense must prevail over EU nonsense".
Turner says the FTA argued "until we were hoarse" against the provision of the extra paperwork drivers will have to carry with them, because it will undermine pay assessment schemes and monitoring of the Working Time Directive. But the requirement has been pushed through regardless He explains: "The origins of this requirement are to help police deal with pan-European drivers who spend long periods away from base. It is completely unnecessary for these rules to be applied to UK domestic operations when the full hours' history is readily available."
