I was talking to a man recently about this downloading job. He reckoned you don’t have to download as long as you do a printout every shift & his card or unit hadn’t been downloaded in several years.
I thought the card had to be downloaded every 28 days & the head every 56 days so I’ve bought the kit to download it all. Can you tell me who is right, is it me or him??
I see it’s likely to take an hour to do the vehicle unit, can this download be done with my drivers card in place or only at the end of my shift, does this download time count as duty time?? We tried my card reader here one saturday after lunch when a mate was here & it put the date & time of download on the spreadsheet. I don’t even know how to download the head so it’s likely to take me longer than an hour.
Advice would be appreciated.
