Driver working hours average

This article explains what is displayed when selecting the tab 'Driver working hours average.

What does it mean?

In the FleetGO portal, we refer to this topic as Driver Working Hours Average, but the most common term used for this type of information is 'Working Time Directive'.

The HGV Working Time Directive is usually recorded over a period of 17 weeks. In some cases, and if changed by Workforce Agreement, the time can be recorded up to a period of  26 weeks. The basic rule of the directive is that a driver must not average any more than 48 working hours per week over their reference period (17 or 26 weeks).

A maximum working time of 60 hours can be worked in any given week, however, the weekly working average must be no more than 48 hours per week. More information can be found in the following GOV.UK website article.
