I worked with HGV’s for 25 years and I was fine with the old tacho disc’s, then they brought out the cassette type tacho’s that confused me a bit, then came digi card and I just used to put trade plates on everything I took out because I could never remember how to use it ( lol ) every time I downloaded my card it was just a list of mistakes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drivers that try to be clever taking breaks here there and everywhere tend to be the ones who balls it up. Take a 45 after 4.5hrs and then another after a further 4.5hrs another 45 and you can’t go wrong. Start mixing in WTD and POA’s and it will get complicated. And the new gen tacho heads can be downloaded by the police and vosa driving behind you now so they don’t even have to pull you over. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that’s part of the reason I chucked my digi card away, I wasn’t a driver so didn’t really need to worry about breaks and thing’s unless I was collecting something down country, I know loads of drivers that have rapped in because of tacho’s, CPC, cameras in cabs all the new hazchem rules, the list of things that stops you doing what was once a good job is endless 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
