Remote Download Devices
DTCO Digital Tachograph : The Remote Download Device (DLD®) is the sensible solution to downloading vehicle units and drivers cards automatically using wireless technology or GPRS.
There will be no more having to spend hours in the yard downloading vehicle units, as you can now schedule your downloads. They will then take place automatically into the tachograph analysis software, using (DLD®) in conjunction with the later generation digital tachographs.
Get tachograph data within minutes to determine whether or not your driver can make that last delivery or make it back to base, without needing a night out.(Source: tachochart.com)

Stoneridge now with Smart Phone Apps!
It had to come… the manufacturers of digital tachograph devices / vehicle units are beginning to integrate the download and data access with popular smart phones apps.
Stoneridge, a leading manufacturer of tacho’ devices have released two free Android apps that might help you to manage your tachos better.
To use our apps, you will need a Tacho Link dongle* to enable your digital tachograph to connect with your Android phone via a Bluetooth connection.
It certainly looks an interesting development. Will it make some of the dedicated Data Download devices redundant? If you want to know more about this device head over to the Stoneridge website.

Digital Tacho Simulator Online !!
Digital Tachographs: We recently stumbled on this simulator for various Digital Tacho systems. We cannot vouch for how good or up-to-date it is but it looks the best we have seen so far. However, it should give anyone new to digital tachos a reasonable idea of how they operate. -

CMR Consignments Note for International Transport Operators
#948 CMR Consignments Notes
International Haulage need Road Consignment Notes
According to the UK Government website:
If you use a provider to transport goods internationally by road, there is a standard contract you should use. This is a road consignment note – known as the CMR consignment note – which confirms that the haulage company has received the goods and has a contract from the supplier to carry them.
On all international journeys – ie other than between the UK and the Republic of Ireland – a haulier must have a CMR note if carrying goods on a commercial basis.
The CMR note can be filled out by the company sending the goods abroad, the haulier or by a freight forwarder, but must contain prescribed information.
You will need three copies of a CMR note, including one:
for the supplier of the goods
for the eventual customer
to accompany the goods while they are being transported
» You can buy pre-printed pads of CMR Consignment Notes from various haulage outlets or buy online with GB Tachopak.(Source: gov.uk)
