36 hours weekly rest up until my normal start time of 1800 but I’m on holiday so does that make a difference?

Rest day sat to sun PM but I’m also on holiday on Sunday the 16th and not back in until Monday PM start time unknown as yet could be as early as 4 or as late as 10pm but usually around 6-7pm.

I don’t often have to worry about exceeding driving hours or weekly rest periods as I never do enough to worry about it normally, its also rare I do a 6TH shift also.

All work if my card has been in for that week will be covered by manual entries (company policy at least, if I had not driven this Sunday at all then I would use? for the week and keep a log of my hours and breaks instead).

I think I’m ok to do the 6th shift again this week but not certain hence asking. Having now written it out I have not had a reduced weekly rest at all and that was mostly what I wanted to know for sure unless I have messed my calculations up somewhere.

I can provide more details if required but the more I look at the more I think it’s fine.

There’s far too much shunting there mate. Tell Chris to get his arse In gear and get something done.

All you have to remember is you must be on weekly rest no later than 144 hours after the start of the first shift if I remember rightly, which is the 6 days.

Tell me about it. But considering I am currently the only tug trained ex shunter on nights I end up covering when people are off ill or on holiday at the moment.

I’ve already noticed I worked out one of my weekly rests wrong cause I’m so used to working sun to Thurs and never having to worry about reduced daily or weekly rests.

To be honest this doesn’t matter as I’ve just realised I’ve got plans Friday so won’t be doing it anyway.

As your weekly rests do not include sunday midnight then you do not have the option of playing with the weekly rests so doing two reduced in a row is going to be a no no

Well that answers that then. Thanks Rog.
