Driving Licence Verification
As a fleet operator, you are required to check that your drivers have a valid driving licence at all times.

Wouldn’t it be nice to fulfill this duty automatically and effortlessly? DAKO Fleet makes the required verification possible:
- Attach an RFID tag* to the driving licence
Control via in-house or public TachoStation or via the free DAKO drive app (Requirement: NFC-enabled device) - Automatic transfer of data to DAKO Fleet
Documentation and proof of verification readily available
* RFID is a technology for contactless identification. The tag is a sticker with an RFID chip and an integrated identification number that is recognized by the TachoStation or app.

How often do I need to read out the driver card?
Driver card data must be read out, stored, secured, evaluated, and archived for at least 1 year at intervals of no more than 28 days. With DAKO Fleet, driver card data can be read out and stored using the archiving software.
How often do I need to read out the mass memory of the truck?
Vehicle data (mass memory) or tachograph data must be read out, stored, secured, evaluated, and archived for at least 1 year every 90 days in accordance with the EC regulation. DAKO Fleet supports reading out of tachographs and can also legally store the data as archiving software.
Do I need to read out the company card?
No. The company card (or company owner card – not to be confused with the driver card!) is needed to access the data from the tachograph and driver card. The rule is: insert the company card first, then proceed with reading out. Therefore, the company card plays an important role in reading out tachograph data.
