What happened when you asked your employer how to get the cards downloaded?

Still waiting for an answer on that one

Logically if it’s on trade plates it’s not yet on any O licence nor can be referenced same.The driver is under domestic regs just like car trade plate or even non trade plate delivery/collection work.

There’s seemingly numerous,varied types of operations under dom regs.A job moving medical clinics for one that slipped through my fingers…(company i was ‘courting’ bought out and new regime not willing to let me commute ONCE a week to their Upper Heyford depot from pompy) :imp: and there’s a private snow-gritting job i’m toying with having a stab at before hopefully entering the trade plate domain asap.The plating game wouldn’t be viable it seems if governed by tacho laws.? Eveything l guess would have to be on low loaders ?

Where do you get the idea of any massive dangerous gulf between EU v Domestic or even the quasi Domestic regs applying to all supposedly ‘out of scope’ operations.
Any driver driving for commercial purposes is effectively governed by similar laws to EU driving regs in terms of rest and driving time.
It’s no big deal and we don’t have trade plate drivers.crashing into ditches on a daily basis for lack of rest.
In fact probably way more rest than any truck driver maxing out the EU regs regime.
