Is there a specific mode we should be using when ejecting our digi card at the end of the shift. I am told to put in on bed for 1 minute before ejecting. If I do this though will it affect me doing a manual entry the following morning for the previous days shift?
Thanks.
Eject on work.
A break of 1 min don’t count just eject your cad and make sure tacho unit is set to break

If you do a manual entry at the start of each shift it doesn’t matter what mode you have the tachograph on when the card is ejected.
So if I ejected my card on break the manual entry is done still the same way as if I eject on other work?

You don’t need to have the tacho set to break before you eject your card.
I have been ejecting it left on other work for 3 years and never had a daily rest infringement. And that’s without doing any manual entries.

Is the right answer, as expected.
I wonder if they are subtly encouraging you to manual entry rest from the very second you exit the lorry (after all you’re already a minute into overnight rest 
) to the very second you put the card back in, in order to get as many hours from you as they possibly can.

Even more cynically, if they’re paying by the tacho hours?
Yep, its vital to be a cynical old bugger these days, and wear yer steel lined Y fronts so they don’t roger you rigid.

When you insert the card your manual entry will be from the time the card was ejected, you can’t begin a manual entry from any other time, so it makes not one iota of difference to your manual entry what mode the tachograph is left on.
One of our drivers insists on putting it on rest before ejecting, I’d disagree though as most of the time I still end up ■■■■■■■ about with keys and paperwork for 5-10 minutes after leaving the truck. The following day I enter this as a manual entry, the same applies at the start of the shift for anything I might do before physically putting my card in. Each to there own though I guess?
You can’t tell a tacho what you will be doing, only what you have already done. do your manual entry when you insert your card and all will be good

You’ve not done a manual entry for 3 years?
Are you using Stoneridge tacho’s? The reason for leaving on break is so that if you ■■■■ up the manual entry it will register whatever mode the tacho was set to overnight. I’ve had a few confused drivers put there card in on a morning and then tacho says only 1hour drive time left. When downloaded it shows other work overnight.

I don’t think this is correct.
Surely all tachos, when the card is inserted, record the time the card was not in a tacho as ? unless you tell it otherwise via a manual entry.

Only type 1 digital tachographs did that, type 2 digital tachographs came into operation 3 or 4 years ago.

I’m the same as eb. Don’t think I’ve ever done a manual entry in the 10 years I’ve been using digis
when you eject your card it " assumes rest " regardless of whatever mode it was on when you ejected it…
download your card onto any software and it will confirm exactly that…
But leave your card in for the weekend on the wrong mode and you will be shot on Monday morning.
Ive also never done a manual entry.
I park the car next to my lorry, open the door, get in, card in. Fanny about with checks and stuff, load up then leave.
End of the day, park up, fanny about with paperwork, card out, climb out, get in car and leave.
What is there to manually add?
