BACK on air FREE webinar this Friday 14th November 2025 with Backhouse Jones regarding: tachograph compliance, along with the EU Entry/Exit System (EES),

Good morning,

Delighted to announce another free webinar hosted by Backhouse Jones on Friday 14th November at 12 noon.

This session, we’ll be digging into the weeds of tachograph compliance – an area that’s attracting increasing attention. With investigations on the rise, a spike in enquiries, and a growing number of tachograph-related hearings, it’s clear that the Office of the Traffic Commissioner are sharpening their focus.

So, why now? What’s driving this spike?

Whilst the core issues remain largely unchanged, the lack of clear guidance means operators are still making familiar mistakes, including:

  • Insufficient training, analysis, and follow-up
  • Incorrect recording of double manning
  • The risk of micro movements
  • Missing mileage – with some operators still allowing tolerances of 3km or 5km

Following our tachograph discussion, we’ll shift gears to explore how to handle those “difficult conversations” – and how to develop the people skills that every transport manager needs.

We’ll also be covering the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES), what the stricter rules mean in practice, and how operators can navigate the upcoming changes with confidence.

Register your spot now and don’t forget to email us in advance with any questions to [email protected]
