Efficient driver management is one of the key pillars for ensuring the success of freight transport companies. It’s not only about optimizing routes and delivery times, but also about safeguarding driver well-being and complying with industry regulations. In this context, technology plays a crucial role—offering solutions that boost productivity, enhance the driver experience, and ensure legal compliance at the same time.
New time-tracking regulation: a key change in 2025
??Starting in 2025, companies in Spain must adapt to the new digital time-tracking regulation, which requires drivers to electronically log their working hours. This change aims not only to improve oversight of working hours but also to protect drivers’ labor rights.
But how can Meribia make this transition easier?
Automated time tracking and legal compliance:
Meribia offers a digital time-tracking tool through its platform Meribia Crew, available to all company users. Drivers can log their clock-in and clock-out times, breaks, and rest periods directly from the app, ensuring full compliance with the law. The system also generates detailed reports on working hours, making audits and reviews of work and rest periods more straightforward.
Route and time optimization:
With Meribia, planners can optimize transportation routes in real time, taking into account drivers' working hours and mandatory rest periods. Our TMS analyzes multiple variables to assign the most efficient routes, reducing unnecessary driving time and boosting productivity. This not only helps drivers do their jobs more efficiently but also supports their overall well-being.
Driver well-being and safety:
Driver health and well-being are critical factors that directly impact productivity. Meribia includes features that monitor working conditions—such as rest duration and driving hours—to promote a more balanced workday.
Technology for comprehensive driver management
??Implementing technology in driver management not only optimizes transportation logistics but also positively impacts the driver experience. From operational efficiency to physical and emotional well-being, using a TMS like Meribia ensures compliance with labor regulations, enhances road safety, and improves drivers’ quality of life.
With the introduction of mandatory digital time tracking, companies that adopt advanced technological solutions are not only complying with legislation—they’re also placing their drivers at the core of their strategy, creating a fairer, safer, and more productive work environment.
