Really? I thought that you had to have 45hrs off every 2weeks?My breaks were;
Sat pm - Mon am - 39hrs
Mon pm - Wed am - 40hrs
Wed pm - Fri am - 40.5hrsSo, if you don’t get quite enough weekly rest hours in weeks 1 & 2, you can add them to week 3. So, I would need to do a 49.5hr weekly rest next weekend?
As it happens, tomorrows work didn’t come off so its all academic but its nice to know exactly what the rule is.
Sorry the job didn’t come off today.
Compensation can be added to any rest period, so you’ve already paid last W/E back with either of Mon - Wed or Wed - Fri’s rests. Your next W/E rest only needs to be 45hrs.You can have more than 6 cards Simon, in fact you can have as many cards as you like so long as you do not exceed daily driving limits, have proper legal rest periods between each card, dont exceed 56 hour/90 hour driving rules and do not work after the end of the 6th 24 hour period from when you started work.
It’s unfortunate that you couldn’t have got another 5hrs (ish) onto any one of those, just to make a full weekly rest.Don’t forget, you can do 2 x 10hr driving days between weekly rests.
Weekly rests don’t have to be weekends, but whenever you have your weekly rests, you can’t have more than 6 cards/days between the end of one and the start of the next one.
It might be worth your while putting a question in the tacho forum, to get a better clarification though.

I don’t do anything except drive (and always within tacho regulations). My missus (unpaid) does all my paperwork, minor maintenance like greasing etc, washing the truck and anything else apart from driving. Job done.
Is that all she does hammer?

Unfortunately yes.
