Driver Card Download

[junkie_ball]

Hi

We have just started using a new agency, i have a question about downloading the drivers card. Driver cards are remotely downloaded directly from our digital tacho unit the problem is i am getting a number of automatic follow up notices about delayed downloads. This is because currently a couple of drivers have only done one shift and as such their card has not downloaded (this wasn't an issue with the old agency as we always had the same driver). We cannot always download the cards manually as there is no one here when they return to the yard late. We still get the head unit downloaded which includes those drivers details would that be sufficient for our records?

Legally you need to download the data from the drivers card no later than 28 days from the last time you downloaded the card data or immediately before the driver ceases to do work for the transport company.
