Confusion with hours etc

Harry Monk:
It’s good that you are trying to do things “by the book”.

In general, in most truck driving jobs complying with tacho rules will cover the WTD requirements, the only real exception being if you do a lot of “other work”.

However, it must be said that WTD isn’t enforced. The most you will ever have to do is sign for an infringement, nobody is ever prosecuted for it.

This.

If “other work” is just yard shunting or something which doesn’t involve much driving then just take your 30 or 60 min lunch break like the rest of the staff at the place you’re working at and you’ll be covered, but as Harry says, no-one cares about the WTD anyway and it’s basically ignored by everyone. Same as the box (POA) setting on the tacho. No-one uses it. :smiley:
