FTA launches Driverfta app for monitoring driver hours

Driverfta enables drivers to keep track of their most recent driving updates including date and time of their last card upload and the last activity included in that upload. They can view key working times, weekly rest figures, and other drivers’ hours information including what time their next shift can start.

“FTA is delighted to announce Driverfta which gives drivers a complete overview of working times, drivers’ hours and any infringements incurred," commented Sam Varrall – FTA tachograph product owner. "This enables them to take responsibility of their own hours, assisting them in planning their day more accurately and ensuring they keep within the legal limits. We have listened to the needs our members and after long discussions have worked with them to develop innovative software to save time, money and improve compliance.”

With changes in technology and customer demand, organisations have highlighted that drivers need a more transparent view of their working hours with clear indications of forward hours and driver history to reduce the risk of infringements. More importantly, this information needs to be easily accessible so drivers can access it quickly and at their own convenience without the need to return to the office.

Drivers will also be able to view the work history screen which initially shows the last two weeks of information received by FTA including digital, analogue and data manually added to Visionfta such as holidays and sickness, as well as highlighting vehicles used and any infringements incurred.

The new Driverfta App is available to FTA members on both iPhone and Android devices to keep track of drivers’ hours and working times to help ensure they keep within the legal limits.
