Hi all,

Any help to this age old topic im sure your sick of would be appriciated.

Starting a new Job this week: Fitter Driver role

Ill spend some time in the workshop and some time out on deliveries. What way do I use my tacho hours as it will be a mix of the 2

Do I just go in do my workshop work then log that as other work or do I have to log that at all?

But confused. Any help appriciated

If you’re driving in-scope of EU regulations and working in the workshop on the same day then legally you must record the workshop work as other work, assuming you won’t have a vehicle at your disposal all the time I’d do a manual entry when you get in the vehicle, don’t forget to record any breaks you have in the workshop or you may fall foul of the working time “break” rules.

You need to keep a record of all the work you do but on any day that you do not drive a HGV you can keep a record of the days workshop work on printouts or charts.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Thank you!! It does!!
