Each of the last three years has seen the implementation of major changes in legal regulations which have had to be introduced and operated by companies in the transport industry. 2005 saw the application of the Working Time Directive, 2006 the digital tachograph and from April 2007 the new drivers' hours regulations come into effect.
For each of these pieces of legislation the Freight Transport Association has produced for its members a comprehensive, easy to read compliance guide providing the advice and information needed by the transport manager in order to meet his company's legal obligations.
FTA members can download copies of the FTA compliance guides 'Working time for drivers and crew of heavy goods vehicles', 'Digital tachographs' and 'EU drivers' hours changes' from the FTA website www.fta.co.uk and printed copies are available on application to the FTA Member Service Centre on 08717 112222.
