The start of a new year is the perfect time to reassess your fleet management processes and set new compliance goals. In 2025, staying ahead of regulatory requirements is more important than ever, and the DVSA Earned Recognition scheme offers a golden opportunity to streamline your operations while demonstrating your commitment to safety and compliance.
Let’s explore how you can set your fleet up for success this year and how Truckfile can help you achieve and maintain DVSA Earned Recognition status.
What is DVSA Earned Recognition?
The DVSA Earned Recognition scheme is a voluntary programme that rewards operators who consistently meet high compliance and safety standards. Fleet managers who join this scheme benefit from:
- Fewer roadside checks: Reduced vehicle downtime and improved operational efficiency.
- Priority at DVSA sites: Faster inspections, keeping your vehicles on the road.
- A competitive edge: Being recognised as a trusted, responsible operator in the industry.
To gain Earned Recognition status, operators must provide evidence of robust systems for managing vehicle maintenance, driver checks, and compliance. This is where Truckfile comes in.
