DeRooy drivers rest fiddle?

What do you guys think about this.

Police posted on Twitter that they found one of their drivers having his rest period in his cab, whilst being carried on the back of another DeRooy motor. :unamused:

Clever intuition or ■■■■ taking & driver abuse? I’m inclined to go with the latter.

Fuel saving .But obviously illicit break dodginess in the eyes of vosa or the taxing fine brigade …

Avoiding fine for a 45hour break?
If he’s in the sleeper pod he’d better hope the driver doesn’t try squeezing under any low bridges.

This is old news?

FTFY

Well technically it ain’t moving :wink:

One of the biggest bunch of cowboys on the road

Is it illegal? The wheels are not moving and he is not working.

“Dutch Transport Company Use Every Trick In The Book To Make Money” shocker. …

Further to the van den Bosch thread, why are people so indignant about Dutch companies using every practice going, to make money. They have always been like the Irish, just better dressed.

Yes it is illegal. You can take breaks but not daily or weekly rest in a moving vehicle.

Is it illegal? Only if you get caught… :grimacing:

You only need to look at the day cabs with small top sleepers to get a feeling of how the company think about the drivers. They only think about profit. They don’t just get EE drivers because they are cheaper. They can’t get Dutch drivers to drive around in those cabs and do nights out.

I personally don’t see the problem if he was in his own cab. But yes as others have said Mr De Rooy doesn’t have a great name for law abiding

Is it illegal?
Is he free to spent his time as he sees fit?
Maybe get out and go for a walk? Have a meal or coffee? Can’t be restful or legal can it?

I don’t think anyone has disputed it’s illegality

My mistake, I take that back.

Interesting thought though is he can’t take a rest in his truck which isn’t moving on the back of another yet rest in a ferry is fine. Would possibly be worth going to court over, would most probably lose but it would be an interesting case

I did see the ferry parallel too. If on a ferry then the ferry has to provide a bunk etc doesn’t it, for a rest period to be valid. And there’s opportunity to move around a bit.
I wonder how much sway and rocking there would be up in a pod loaded like that? In fact I’ve never slept in a pod, and really wouldn’t fancy it too much even stationary.
