Re: Any advise on a good device to buy to read tacho cards and the units in the lorries, Is Tacho 2 Safe anygood

DM me mate I can help you with that

Digidown plus.

What vehicles are you running and how old are they?

Fdigipro from tacho system

I use Optac tool for drivers cards, (stays in transport office), & DigiPro+ for vehicles. (But be careful, as DigiPro don’t work with Intellic VU’s).

Re: My client had a temp school contract throughout the pandemic covering when needed

It’s not an easy question. is it operated on behalf of a local authority?

My client had a temp school contract throughout the pandemic covering when needed

Please excuse me if this is an easy question to answer..
My client had a temp school contract throughout the pandemic covering when needed. This has now been revised to a 12 months permanent daily contract. Does he have to register this on the bus open data service??
TIA

Just applying for FORS BRONZE ACCREDITATION, would it be a good idea to have an auditor come in and give the paperwork the once over, before having FORS come and do it, so save any mishaps etc. If so, any recommendations for midlands area/price.

Yep I do my own.
I’ve been to a pi (I was brought in after the DVSA visit/failings), & the TC like the toolbox talks the the operator has always done, and also what I had brought in, so I would of thought not doing them will have a adverse effect.
