Driver Bookings vs TachoClear

The Driver Bookings app gives Pro2 agents mobile access to all the features of the Driver Bookings event booking platform.

How long can you keep driving today? When is your break due — and what does tonight's rest have to be? TachoClear answers, and shows you the rule that says so. Built for UK lorry, van and coach drivers under the assimilated (EU-derived) drivers' hours rules and the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005, with GB domestic goods and PSV night-work settings. Unsupported rule combinations are identified explicitly. Made for drivers with no transport manager watching their back — agency drivers and new passes especially. NEW TO TACHOGRAPHS? Tell TachoClear what you drive and when your first shift starts, and it starts straight away — or reminds you once if you start later. A sample day shows a real shift with one thing wrong in it, and the rule that says so. DRIVING A VAN TO EUROPE? Since 1 July 2026, vans over 2.5 tonnes carrying goods on international or cabotage journeys can come under the same EU-style rules as lorries. The van check asks three questions — weight, route and whose goods — and tells you which rules cover your work, with a plain-English guide to the exemptions. YOUR FIRST FIVE SHIFTS ARE FREE Record five complete solo shifts, each with its summary and next available start, with Planner and Week open throughout. No time limit. Every saved shift stays readable and correctable afterwards. WHAT IT DOES • Live shift tracking — one tap to switch between driving, other work, POA, break and rest • Drive Detection — optional automatic driving/work switching while the app is open; off by default, and a wrong switch is corrected in two taps • Break countdowns — the 4.5-hour driving clock and the separate working-time break rules, clearly labelled • Split breaks done right — 15 then 30, and it tells you when a split won't qualify • Daily rest options — 11h, reduced 9h (your remaining budget shown) or 3+9 split, each with its consequences • Weekly rest — the six-day deadline, reduced rest and the compensation payback deadline • Working Time — the 60-hour week cap, your average against the 48-hour limit, night-work rules, POA correctly excluded • Forward planner — "if I start at 06:00…" gives latest break, latest finish, earliest next start • Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — your next deadline, plus Driving, Break and Other work buttons; widgets too • Break-complete alert — take your 45, and the app tells you when it counts • Fix anything — every entry can be edited, split or corrected, with undo • Driver CPC hours — log your periodic training and track your 35 hours against your card's expiry • Plain-English rules library — split breaks, POA, multi-manning, ferries, vans to Europe and more, with sources and worked examples • PDF and CSV export of your log (Pro) FREE TO START, PRO FOR ONGOING USE TachoClear Pro is a one-off lifetime unlock for unlimited shifts and history, ongoing Planner and Week use, PDF and CSV export, multi-manning, the full manual-entry practice library and Apple Watch. Nothing is bought unless you choose to unlock Pro. Family Sharing is enabled. Customers who bought the earlier paid version get Pro automatically once Apple verifies that purchase. No subscription. No ads. No account. Your driver record stays on your iPhone. Restoring it to a new phone from an iCloud or computer backup has not been verified, so export PDF or CSV before replacing the phone. Pseudonymous product analytics, crash reports and privacy-preserving advertising measurement are on by default, can be switched off in Settings and never include your hours, dates, GPS location, motion, notes or exports; providers may derive a coarse region from network data and receive the purchased product, price and currency. Shift tracking, saved records and the rules guide work offline. IMPORTANT TachoClear is a planning aid, not the legal record — your tachograph is. It is not legal advice.
