We run a 7.5 tonner for the movement of materials between two warehouses. It is not hire and reward as we do not get paid for this part of the service. The vehicle is rented. The driver is not fully employed as a Driver and this part of his day only covers about 2 hours. Following on from advice we were given from the Government our Driver does not need a CPC and has never needed it. The renting of a vehicle does not make it hire & reward. It only becomes Hire & Reward once you Hire the Vehicle & Driver out for a form of payment from a secondary source. Sometimes we have to run to a third party collection point but again it is for our own collection, and again cannot be classed as Hire & Reward. The original question is quite clear he is picking up something for the companies own use and really is no different from hiring a 7.5 tonner to move house yourself, all that is required is a Tachograph card for that.
Not true. There’s more than 1 bit of what you say that is wrong but the main one is that you don’t need a tacho card to move yourself.
