I’ve got to start work at 5am tomorrow morning, will probably be finished by 2 but my boss wants me to start again at 8pm the same day for another 2 hours and then obviously I will have gone over the 15 hours on duty so I cannot do this legally can I? Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers Paul
He wants you to do what?
Im gonna say no, and I can’t see any way around it. The latest you can work is 8pm I believe.
Rog or Tachograph will be along shortly and they are the best with these things
This question can be answered with one word, NO
No
You can not exceed 15 hours from your start time without having at least 9 hours off (to make it a new “Day”) Unless you are double manned for the whole duration of your shift

No there’s no way you can do that legally, your boss shouldn’t even be considering it.
No

The rules state that within 24 hours from the end of the last rest period, which in this case is 5am, the driver must take a daily rest period of at least 9 hours minimum (if they have a reduced available)
Start 5am means to fit in that 9 hours the driver must start the the rest by 8pm
As a Pro-Driver, you shouldn’t have to ask such a question!!

But this is what the CPC is all about 
Nope you can’t. 15 hours duty is the max, provided you’ve got one left. Better to ask and be sure then go and break the law

To be fair in the original post he states he will have gone over the 15 hours so cant do it legally. He’s clearly just looking for reassurance that he’s right, and there’s nothing wrong on that.
Thanks for your replies. I was 99.9% sure I couldn’t but I thought I would ask anyway.
No need for the drama queens to reply!

Surely a full stop after spelling?
back to school for me then
No.
But depending on what you have already done this week you could offer to go back at 11pm not 8pm if it helps (if you finish at 2pm in the afternoon with the first shift as you will have had a nine hr off )
and do the two hrs…then if lucky that would be the end of your week ! And have a Boss who loves you .
