load weight is easy to calculate its mam - kerb weight so you might get a question like paul is driving a truck with a max autherised mass of 40,000 his truck weighs 12,000 how many pallets can he legally carry if each pallet weighs 2,000.
driving hours:
driving break: 45 min after 4.5 hours driving to be taken as a single rest or split into 1 of at least 15 min and 1 of 30
daily driving hours: 9 hours but can be extended to 10 twice a week
daily rest: 11 hours but can be reduced to 9 three days a week
duty hours is max of 15 per day
max duty per week is 56 hours however max fortnight duty hours is 90 so if you do 56 one week you can only do 34 the second.
wtd hours is a break of at least 20 min every 6 hours. however in 99% of situations this is immaterial as drivers hours tend to over rule.
there is special rules for ferries and trains if the journey is over a certain length you can take your daily rest during the crossing as long as there is a couchette / bunk available and this can be interrupted upto twice for no more than a total of an hour for boarding/disembarking etc.
if anyone spots a issue let me know and I will change it
