Legal.(Armet Logistics's drivers licences suspended for reckless driving)
Twenty-six drivers appear before TC after more than 300 convictions over tacho fiddling offences.
Drivers employed by Liverpool- based edible oil tanker operator Armet Logistics have had their HGV licences suspended or revoked.
The disqualifications range from six months to five years.
Twenty-seven drivers had been convicted of 348 offences of falsification over a six-month period, and 26 appeared before Traffic Commissioner Tom Macartney at a two-day public inquiry.
The TC was told there had been wide-scale falsification of tachograph charts by the majority of the drivers at Armet Logistics. Methods varied from removing the chart while waiting to load/unload, and winding the clock back on analogue tachograph heads, to removing the chart before starting or finishing their journeys to conceal the number of hours being worked.
The drivers were paid for the hours worked, rather than the hours shown on their tachograph charts.
It emerged that the firm had a bonus scheme that encouraged drivers to drive more than 600km in a day.
